SAAB 900 T16 rescue (Ep 19): We have fresh metal! 😁

Blimey, this welder doesn't hang about! I'm absolutely delighted at the progress already made! 😁😎👍

[@roddymac1370]

Great job, can't wait to see progress. Love these cars, proper classic. And always in such great colours ❤

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Hey, yes, I'm really keen to get it back from the welders now. I've been at an amazing car show today with my Lancia and was daydreaming about being there in this SAAB instead 😅

[@scottderrington4068]

Fanatastic progress Martyn!! Looking forward to seeing it cruising with 12 months ticket

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Cheers, big man! Hopefully not too long at this rate 😁👍

Just watched this again but on the tv…spotted a beautiful 1600E in the background 👍🏻 Oh how I loved those cars❤ I had a Mark II 1500GT as my very first car (poor man’s 1600E) when I was 17 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Yes, that belongs to the welder 😁

[@intrepid5684]

Good to see some progress.

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Thanks! Yes, more to come in a day or two 👍

[@graemelambert1981]

Good work Martyn, great to see!

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Thanks G, nice to hear from you! My apologies, somehow your comment got missed from my replies! Hope all is well with you! :-)

[@KentnDebi]

Progress is good Martyn ❤

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Im delighted with it! I was expecting a much (much!) bigger welding bill tbh

[@KentnDebi]

@@martynsboostedswedes Made up for you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@onepairofhands]

Looking good to me

It’s not like I, as a Swede, wants to say that Saab are made from swedish steel 😊 But you are doing a great job 👍🏻

[@martynsboostedswedes]

😅😁 Thanks - I am trying! 😅👍

[@mrneilnic]

Great progress Martyn 👍👍 hope the flow continues 😁 I’m about to start welding my door bottoms got replacement bits then ready for mot and summer driving

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Sounds great! Perfect time of year to get cracking with some remedial work, just in time for the summer 😁

[@danpacey]

Really good to see. 👍 Interestingly the floorpan coating requires chiselling off in my car _except_ in areas where it has been water (or is it mouse piss?) damaged - if I were you I'd get it up ASAP to see if there is more work to do underneath. I haven't found a big issue under mine so that's not the worry you, but you will probably want to remove it all before treatment and paint anyway. I've heard using an oscillating multitool can make short work of it, but I don't have one of those as yet. Thinking of getting one because it's such slow going chipping it up in little channels! If you can peel it off that easy, do it mate!

[@martynsboostedswedes]

Hello Dan, yes, 💯 with you on getting it all up: I'll head over next weekend and lift it all. Good tip about the oscillating tool for stubborn bits, thank you! 👍👍

[@BWTECH0521]

nice nice!

[@stephenbell133]

Looks like it’s going well Martin. My Ruby needs a bit of tlc on the wheel arches - usual places. Wheres the accent from? Mines fenham - is your more Northumberland?
