Restoring a '74 99 LE - Is there a good parts catalog out there? (in U.S. or Australia)

Jay 17 April 2005 03:49:16
 
I moved to Australia (2 hours south of Sydney) two years ago from the U.S.
(Wisconsin). I've owned a few classic cars before (two '65 Chevy Corvair
and a few mid-70s camaros), but I gave them up when I moved here. Now, my
wife and I share a car to get places (Nissan Pathfinder), but I DID find a
1974 Saab 99 LE for $250.00 (AU) six months ago that I'd like to restore (a
do-it-yourself project for the most part, but I'll let the professionals
complete the tasks that I cannot).

Now, bearing in mind that I'm not a mechanic or expert, just a smart do-it-
yourselfer who likes to take up new challenges
(electronics would be my strong point)

I'd like to customize the car in some way, and what I need to know is if
there are any companies out there that sell custom body kits, engine
rebuild kits, etc. for this kind of car. I've searched the internet, but I
can't find any "good" online parts catalogs for this type of car. I can
find some sites, but what I'm looking for is a company with a good website
or mail-order parts catalog that lists all parts from A-Z so that I can see
what I want before I order. I'd like to price out my options before
deciding upon everything I want to do to the car. The company would be
located in the U.S. or Australia preferably.

I will be doing a lot of customizing on this car from body to suspension to
wheels, etc. and I already have most of the car dissassembled with plenty
of time and room to work.

Hopefully, if I can find some good information, I can build a totally
original, fun, and economical car that I will use as my daily driver for
may years to come.

p.s. - I don't expect to do this overnight, I'm realistic and know this
will take me several years at the very least to complete as I'm doing most
of the work myself. This is something I'm doing for pleasure and not
because I HAVE to! ;)

Thanks for any and all that can provide me with some good information on
the '74 Saab 99 LE!!!

Hi Jay, do we know each other I wonder? Milwaukee Saab club maybe?

Me, I'd dump the LE-Jetronic system and install a Bosch CIS injection
system. Maybe even do the H-engine upgrade, takes a minor change
to the firewall. Stick a 16-valve late 80's Turbo engine in there
and you'd have a screamer.

G'day Jay. I'm a Saab C900 enthusiast in Sydney so it's great to hear from
another fellow Saabist.

I own a few C900's and try to do as much with them myself since that way I
learn more and save $$$ too.

Sounds good. I don't have a garage so I'm not really able to take my cars
apart quite to that extent (yet). 8-)
Thanks for any and all that can provide me with some good information on >the '74 Saab 99 LE!!!

If you're trying to source parts for your 99, try places like Parts for
Saabs in the UK (www.partsforsaabs.­com), etc.

There are some good online parts places in the US too - www.autohausaz.com
is one I recommend but there are plenty more.

Consider joining the NSW branch of the Saab Car Club of Australia too. The
club's website is at "http://www.saabclu­b.org.au". I've been a member since
last year.

Good luck with your car! There are plenty of 99 enthusiasts around in
Australia going on how popular 99 turbo's, etc. seem to be.

Regards,

Craig.
