Last year I brought Peter W’s work to your attention, work that involves the restoration of a very special Saab 900. Saab made a small number of what I guess you could call Aero prototypes in pearl white paint back in 1984.

When Peter found one for sale in late 2006, he snapped it up and immediately got to work on bringing it back to life. It was lucky he started straight away as there was a lot to do:

The recent spring and summer in Sweden have seen Peter hard at work, and the following update photos will show you just how far he’s come.

This thread at SaabCentral will give you a lot of progressive photos, but the shots below show the project as it currently stands. I believe Peter wants to get it ready for the Saab Festival in 2009 (though I may be recalling that incorrectly).

He’s doing an extraordinary job with this and I can’t wait to bring more shots as the project as it progresses. It’s looking fantastic so far, and this really is a car that should be preserved.
