Brake lines ordered
Stainless brake lines have been ordered from Group 9 Performance. A full set goes for about the same price as OEM rubber. In a fit of whimsy, I went for the yellow ones. After a rally or two, I doubt the color will be noticeable.
Trying to source a good used engine wiring harness but things are looking grim. A source for used Saab parts said he hadn't seen a good one in ten years. The story is that for the '85 year Saab outsourced their wiring to a company that used organic insulation, which after all these years, gets brittle if you look crossways at it. There are quite a few wires that have been patched; it would be best to rewire the whole harness. I may tackle this at a later date. For now need to concentrate on getting other basics done.
Tonight is time for the front suspension to come off for new bushings and ball joints.
Here's the left spring about ready to be removed in order to get to the upper control arm.
Note the serious layer of cruft in the body where the axle
passes through.

Jeez, look at all the room you have to tighten those spring clamps. It's too easy to work on a Saab.
