I'll keep those Lloyd Mats in mind if I don't find any tan ones. Yeah the prices at this u-pull it are pretty reasonable. I think the most I paid for any of the parts was $10 and that was for the coil. I have been there a couple times before for parts for my old Oldsmobile's that I have had over the years.
I'll be headed back soon as they have a couple V70's and 850's that have very nice aluminium rims on them that I'd like to have on it. Also need a dash knee panel for a GMC 1500 that I just bought.

Thanks for the reminder!v The chassis code change seems to be at 587597, and the Falcon has a 566xxx code. Where would y'all suggest to shop? I'm looking at iPd and fcp's sites right now; FCP doesn't appear to have a rear brake rotor that fits, or am I reading that wrong?
(I'm fully expecting whatever's left of the shoes to be rusted solid into the rotors)

I usually use FCP for parts... their lifetime warranty is unbeatable and their prices are usually the best. They should have AWD rear rotors.

Went and got the mudflap on front left reattached today as well as picking up a new key and remote. Sun roof drains were blown out.

Had dealer give it a look over - nothing found. Looks like I'm making progress!

Took to car wash - everything stayed where it should and drained where it should. Another small victory!

Replaced a snapped serpentine belt tensioner bolt. I can't believe the remains of the bolt actually came out as easily as it did! Now I just have to wait until Saturday when the new tensioner gets here and fix the main problem.

After a good session to replace my rear ABS sensor harness I caught a perfect 55F day to

Flush out my old ATF and replace the PS fluid with green Pentosin

Wrap and clamp an exhaust leak behind the cat ..worked like a charm.

18mm Oetinger clamp on the return line, 23 mm on the supply

Bought another Saab today... this time a 2005 9-3 manual. I need to find a way to get it in the garage tomorrow (steering wheel locked, something with the ignition switch) and clean it out. It has some mold from sitting so long with a sunroof leak.

Also got the tensioner for the V70. I don't know that the pulley is INA, but we'll see how it works. I got it from FCP, so it's going straight back in exchange for a blue box if I have an issue.

Haha, yeah and this one is even MORE of a Chevy, it has the Saab variant of the Ecotec.
Can’t wait to drive it, though... it’s the Arc, so it it should be fairly quick.
