I picked up the 1985 900 T16 last week, and it runs like a top. I got instructions from saabnet bb on swapping the hood, which is hanging on by one side of the hinge/bracket. Other than that, which sounds like a fairly simple DIY project once I find a new hood, the car is in good shape. There's a 10cm by 3cm piece of sheet metal missing from the right rear fender lip, but the undercarriage is solid. I plan to cure the cancer as soon as possible.
Anyway, here's a shot of the car (top two on the Web page):

Nice to have a turbo for a change!-jw
