Another new member from Sweden

Hi

My name is Magnus, I live in Stockholm, Sweden and I was told about this forum by friends Arvika and Ulvegrip.

I have a silver/grey 1985 FB that I bought 9 years ago. The car is still pretty much stock, I have only done a couple of bolt-on modifications.
It has Koni shocks, Eibach springs and a Racing Beat streetport exhaust.

I also have two other project cars, a 1984 FB and a 1987 FC T2 that I will try to get back on the road in the next couple of years.

Welcome Magnus

Are there many other FBs that you know of in Sweden?

Do not see the two tone paint very often, looks good.

The two-tone paint is actually very common in Sweden on the S3 rx-7s. My 84 FB also has that paint scheme, Arvika also has 2 with the same two-tone.

The wheels are from an old Saab 900, it has the same bolt pattern as the S3.

I think they sold around 120 first gens new in Sweden and then some have also been imported.

I thought the Saab bolts were 4 x 108 dia and the S3 is 4 x 114 dia ?

PS welcome and I like the colour combination .............
