Thanks Jeremyg!
Yes, it was hard work sometime but i really enjoy it most of the time. Almost think it´s harder to load up pic here
Born and raised with Saab so I have a couple of them, also like the combo! I worked at SAAB dealer until they closed production 2012, sad moment

. Which model of Saab are you driving?
So, been busy today, activity for the kids in the morning and the noon was to moving forward with total rebuild of our kitchen and living room etc.
Will try to update this thread with some more pic.

I have underfloor heating in where I live but I'd love it in my workshop!
Thanks Andytat!
I use to say that it´s not always easy to work/repair cars, but if you have space, good light, nice temp, and lift it will be both fun and easier

Back in time I didn´t have all this options so when I decide to build my own garage I really know what was important to me.

James, you are spot on! But for the moment we don´t have any snow or ice, bad winter

I have a ‘Classic’ 900 T16S convertible:
And as a daily a 9-5 Aero estate
Which is one of the few estates that takes a large dog and 2 Christmas trees. Not every day though. Had Saabs longer than I’ve had Porsches - since an early Saab 94.

I´m not an artist with brush, but with some technical help I´m happy with the result

So, the garage project is reedy to use for what it is intended for, yes i have done some car work

and you can also have a beer, sit down and reflect over a nice Porsche, life, this project or what ever you want!
Thanks for your time!

That looks great, the OG 900 is my favorite, not happy today when I sold my Aero (no cab) many years ago. In the 90´s I was racing a lot Rallycross with 900 and have modify so many gearbox´s

Just before Christmas I get one special car back home, 2005 I bought a brand new black 9-3 Sport sedan Aero and 13 years later I will restore the car to be perfect again! 290.000km on Swedish roads have affect the car......
And Your Porsche?
Take good care of your 2 nice Saab´s!

I’m lucky enough to be able to drive three eras of Porsche. The oldest is a 59 356 coupe - mild outlaw.

I also have a ‘G’ 911 like yours. An 81 SC targa.

And a 996 C4S.

All very different experiences, but all with the common sensation of being connected to the road like few other cars.

Jeremyg,
Variety make your life longer! All of them looks wonderful and I got your point about "different experiences".
I´m just waiting a call from EuroJackpot........
