Thanks for all the advice. Already part of the Saab community, but for more modern era stuff. Got two others sitting in my driveway right now. Actually how I found the car was through one of the Saab forums online. So have lots of good contacts for that aspect already. Signed up here as I will no doubt be looking for some metal working help. Haven't had to do any metal work on current Saab's through.
I did did hand fab some patch panels for a VW Cabrio I rebuilt for my daughter. Were all done by hand with nothing more then some 20gauge stock, a carpenter's hammer, shop vice, and welder other hand tools. Small stuff, but it has some complex curves. Was good enough that I just needed a skim coat of Body filler. Stuff I expect to need to this project, is considerably more difficult and want a much higher lvl of finish. Pics of the pieces from the daughters VW. What I cut out, it was about the same on each side: ![]() Patch fitted, Did a bunch more smoothing at this point that I should have done before it was in car. One lesson learned and applied to other side ![]() ![]()
