It's a cool cloudy day and the wife's away - a perfect day to put on headphones and have at the old car. Wash, light compound and wax with an electric polisher and whatever crap I had on hand. Shampooed the floor mats, carpets, seats. Cleaned all the glass, plastic trim and letting it dry. It'll get registered and have plates Tuesday afternoon and have an inspection within a few days.
I bet the # of times anyone hand washed this thing is ZERO.
Generally I could care less about old Saabs, but this one grew on me. I brought it back from the Brink of Oblivion. A one-owner car that was cherished that ultimately needed someone to give it love and drive it, not cut it up for parts. You can see, it's not perfect but it's a creampuff. The manual sun roof and back wing windows are not obvious but this is a surprisingly roomy car with excellent visibility, air flow and ergonomics. Swedish Aircraft Company. I'll probably drive it until later this year and flip it.
I have the lug nut covers and driver's door card off for a reason, but I have them and they're intact.
