Valhalla Run 2008

Viesti Kirjoittaja si_f900 »

Firstly apologies for not being able to post in your forum's native language.

This is going to sound like "spam" but believe me its not. I'm a fellow SAAB nut from the UK (part of the admin team of http://www.uksaabs.co.uk )
Anyway reason for post is that come the end of August, I along with 3 other UK SAAB fans will be in Helsinki with a RHD 1988 900 2 door T16.

The reason for 4 UK SAAB fans to be in Helsinki at the end of August is that we are entering StreetSafari's "Valhalla Run" and raising some money for charity along the way.

We are looking at options of what to do with the car once the Rally is over, hence the post here and looking for advice on how to "scrap/dispose" of the car or if possible pass/sell on to another SAAB enthusiast so the car will remain in one piece and be kept going.
The other and more expensive alternative is to drive it back to the UK.

Hi, nice to see you here!
If anyone is interested to have this car, I have some surplus parts for LHD conversion excluding the dashboard cover and steering rack.

And same in finnish:
Jos jotakuta auto kiinnostaa, minulla on ylimääräisenä valmiiksi irrotettuja osia auton muuttamiseksi täkäläiseen liikenteeseen. Ts polkimet, ohjausakseli, kojelaudan palkki, lyhyempi johtosarja, rintapellin peitelevy yms.

However, if no one is interested, the legal way to scrap a car is here:

Excellent thanks for that link.

Would be nice though if the car went to a new home rather than the crusher :|

Yes that's the one. I originally got it to use as a fun track car, but then the "banger" rally came up and decided to use it for that instead, so the interior will be going back in. Apart from the original foam sound proofing and carpet. I threw them away as they stunk.

I'll probably replace the foam sound proofing and carpet from my black 900 as that is now destined to be my track car.
