Saab 60th Anniversary, and 30 years of the Turbo

It's challenge nutter time!

In June Saab celebrates 60 years, and it also coincides with the 30th Anniversary of the Saab Turbo. I just happen to have a first production year Turbo (1978), but it's off the road needing the leaky sunroof replaced, and a replacement engine because most of the gaskets and oil seals in the current one are original and leaking like mad!

Whilst I can't see me getting over to Sweden for the real celebrations, I'd like to have the thing on the road again by then. Sounds easy, but I've been trying to get the time to do the engine since August! I also want to move the battery to the boot and a few other bits and bobs, Fun!

How it can look:

How it looked when I got the car in 2003:
