Restore it you pussy

>>15580103
I live in the U.S., id love to restore it, but i feel like it would be so fucking hard to find parts and shit

>>15580096
>Is it even worth it? I feel like parts would be extremely hard to find, plus the engine and tranny are sitting on the floor of the garage as well...should i just sell the shell?
The question isn't whether or not it's worth it, but whether or not you can pull it off before you die.

>>15580123
probably unlikely that we'd be able to, assuming we dont wrap ourselves around a pole if we do restore it, the thing is practically made of plastic

>>15580096
TAKE IT

TAKE IT RIGHT NOW

Then, when you decide to NOT be a pussy, throw a VFR-800 engine in it: Honda's made-to-fucking-perfection all aluminum, gear driven, quad cam V4 that screams like a mother fucker and makes double the power that thing made stock, and redlines at 13,000rpm

THE NOISE, ANON, THE NOISE

this is a once in a life time opportunity, you better lose your self in the maintenance the mechanics you own it, better never let it go. You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo!

What is it?

Saab Sonnet MK-III

>>15580563
It's so beautiful. It's like a muscle car but not retarded.

>>15580563
Pretty neat. Does it feature any quirky Saab ideas?

Sell it to someone who actually knows what they're doing.

>>15580631
Why? Restoring a car gives you incredible insight and understanding of their workings.

>>15580635
Although a Saab might be a bit hardcore in the US...

>>15580619
FF, almost all fiberglass, a V4 engine, and the entire front clip hinges up to do any work on it.

Yeah it's quirky.

>>15580647
>fiberglass
That must've been some space age shit back then.

>>15580635
Because Saabs are some special snowflake shit, you'll waste unfathomable amounts of time tracking parts, and as an amateur you'll likely do a mediocre job.

I know it only has 900kg but I mean dude...

This is why we have this magical thing called gearing, and the bike trans has it. Also, the Sonett weights like MAAAAAYBE 1,700LB's? Maybe?

It'd be fine. Quite quick, too.
