My new Toy...
Hi guys. Total newb here. :-)
Here is my recently acquired Wagon. I've had it literally 2 hours. Cost nothing, straight swap for a saab with electrical issues.
Its the 2.0l N/A model. Manual. 1998 so a mk3 (is that right?)
It needs the exhaust looking at and also I need desperately a rear N/S light cluster (anyone got one spare?)
So that's it. Got stacks of receipts, full service book, some old tax disks and the owners manual and wallet.
So, yeah. That's it.
Peace

Yeah, I'd lose the stickers. They look daft on any road car, but this one is not even a performance machine it's a workhorse.
If you're after some bits try some car breakers such as Scott at Scoobyspares, Matty at Pole Position, JapPerformanceParts etc.
No shame running an NA car they're great daily cars but if you enjoy it then try thinking of upgrading to a turbocharged version when life and finances allow.
PS don't waste money tuning what you've got there, you'll get a very poor return for your dorrah.

It is a bit of an ironic statement, don't you think?
The opposite of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
And whilst you might catch the eye of plod, you are actually very unlikely to be breaking the law - well for speeding anyways.
Go for it mate!
You can always buy a Spec D the next time if you want.

Hi guys. Thanks for the replies.
I quite like the stickers (it unleashes my inner chav/child). It will be a workhorse primarily because I work in the Styx so the awd will be useful this time of year.
I'll have a nosey and see what I can find.
Thanks for the comments. Keep em rolling in.

If it was me I'd lose the stickers because there pointless and look naff, I'd source a turbo bonnet for styling purposes, Evan though it will also be pointless and not needed, it will at least look better.
