    My new (to me!) 1990 Saab 9000 'Carlsson' 5 door!

    Yum is the word. It's a white 1990 2.0 litre 9000 'Carlsson' with 5 speed manual trans:

    The rego plates are special standard issue 'R and S series' ones available only in South Australia! In NSW or other states of Australia those plates would be classed as full custom and cost about A$500 per year!

    Been sorting out mostly cosmetic issues. Headliner is sagging and I am going to try renewing it with rocker body paint (as tried by a poster at saablink.net) rather than fabric.

    Also trying to find out if the body kit panels were used in any other 9000 config. The front bumper/spoiler has a couple of cracks in places I think might be hard to repair, and one of the side skirt panels has a bit of damage too so if they're replacable it'll sort out a couple of niggly things.

    I have on order a set of Powerflex PU bushes for the front of the car - the existing trans mount bush is shot as the upper torque arm bushes.

    Who else here has a 9000 carlsson? I haven't seen any 2.3 9000 carlssons here in Oz yet but they seem to have been common in the UK.

    Aah what a beauty! Too bad on the minor cosmetic flaws but it's still a fine piece of automotive.

    I had a white 9000 pre-series aero which looked a lot like your's, apart from not having sunroof (as it was replaced) and the stripes. But it's a fantastic car to drive, handles great and the 2,0L engiene feels rather balanced with power vs torque.

    Best of luck with your new beauty!

    I've uploaded some more pics of the car into my Saab album on flickr.com for anyone interested:

    It's a fun car to drive, and once the trans mount bush and upper torque arm bushes are replaced, it should be more fun to drive.

    BTW does anyone know of a source for a new coolant expansion tank (Saab # 87 86 055)? I need to flush the cooling system and I'd like to replace the existing tank which is turning very dark brown/grey and also hase a significant coating of gunk on the inside so the tank is clean. Also going to renew some of the coolant hoses.
