It occurred to me that my donor has been disassembled and gone for quite some time, and that technically I'm doing the work for building the 818 now. Time for a new thread.

donor: 2006 Saab 92-x Aero.

Inaugural thread pic - Rebuilt front brakes that I finished yesterday.

I'll upload some progress pics later. Looks like what I have left for parts is front arms, steering, clean the trans, surface the rotors. Oh, and build the engine. Heads are done, block/crank are at the shop. Won't buy the parts until after the machinist gives me his opinion.

In the meantime, I'm a bit concerned about hacking up the harness and trying to get it to run a fresh rebuild. Seems like it would be prudent to make sure the engine runs, and THEN hack up the harness. Thoughts?
