A brilliant restoration. I sure know the feeling as I had my 93 Vetor TiD Wagon restored and get a bodyshop to keep on top of everything for me. And a big shout out to Fraser and Ray Bagnall at Bagnall Saab in Birmingham UK for doing all the mechanical work too. No one else touches the car, but them.
A magnificent job! As the owner of a 2008 SAAB 9-5, I'm over the top in love with the body style of the NG 9-5, and the interior styling. I wanted to buy a used one a few years back, but was deterred by parts availability and issues. That said, I actually went to a dealership with the intention to purchase an NG 2011 9-5 with an extended 10-year. 125,000 mile GM warranty for an additional $2,700. And it even had those beautiful 95 turbine wheels. What ultimately deterred me was driveability. I felt detached from the road. It was like sitting in a low-slung bucket. The 1999-2009 9-5 has an exceptional driving position, and fish bowl visibility. I actually felt claustrophobic inside. I'm still drawn to the NG 9-5, with what I believe is one of the most stunning exterior/interior designs ever produced. Your example is magnificent.
God I had the exact same experience with the NG 9-5, it just feels terrible to drive in comparison to the OG 9-5's. I'd still love a 2011 9-5 with the 2.8 and XWD, but the NG 9-5 I drove was terrible in comparison to my 06 2.0t, not to mention my built 98 2.3T.
@@JonasKakarikas Jonas...my only issue with the NG 9-5 was that for me, it felt claustrophobic inside, with limited visibility. I loved everything else about the NG 9-5 during my drive.
@@JonasKakarikas I see. If everything goes well from today on, I'll be the owner of grey 2.8 mettalic....I'm a bit afraid of the body parts on the market, but You live only once :D

Hey my friend, I love the Contant that you put out for the Saab’s, but I do have a question. What is the offset of the BBS wheels Front and rear. I have been trying to find the perfect offset for my car, which is the same as yours but I have the aero And I think that you have the perfect offset set up
Sjukt bra jobbat! Du bygger alltid så satans smakfullt :O Blev de stor skillnad när du ljudisolerade bilen? Tänkte köra någon silentcoat eller liknande överallt på min bil
@@JonasKakarikas De vet du :) Ja fan, kommer köra de där överallt där de går. Har ändå inget att förlora, kanske går att höra varandra i min bil sen om man har tur haha
@@JonasKakarikas nice 🙂 Your car is so amazing 😍 I was thinking about getting one but I'm worried about engine, mechanical parts and other parts for the car.. not about the cost, mostly about finding them. Most mechanics here say they are very hard to find.
Damn, this generation of Saabs really does seem like a generic GM whatever, what a boring vehicle robbed of almost all its quirks. Congratulations on ricing out an Opel Vectra wearing a skin of a Saab.
What a job you done Jonas! You built the ultimate SAAB!!!
Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much 🤝
Well done Jonas, the car looks wicked, I have a 2011 TTid 93 Aero in white great colour on Saabs, all the best from the UK.
Thanks Jeremy 🙏
Amazing and hard work done ✔️
Respect another saab saved 💪

Ng9-5 is an amazing car, to bad about the down sides that you mention... But the looks is to die for 🙏

You need to drive mine😂 the ng9-5 chassi is superior to all other Saab setups
@@JonasKakarikas Jonas...my only issue with the NG 9-5 was that for me, it felt claustrophobic inside, with limited visibility. I loved everything else about the NG 9-5 during my drive.
Yeah the side Windows are a bit lower than other Saabs.
Lot of work but final effect is awesome. Eveything fits perfectly. Beautyful Saab. Greetings from Poland. NG9-5 are very rare here.
Stunning
Så jävla fin! Bra jobbat.
Tack 🙏
Master in action again 👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Awesome work!!
🙏
Looks really nice and super cool. Well done, you must have spent many hours and lots of money on this project. Respect Russell.
Such an amazing job Jonas, looks absolutely stunning!
...bit close backing on your drive though for that front bumper 😫
Thanks🙏 have never scratched it once 😎
@@JonasKakarikas fair play!!!
simply outstanding Jonas!
Thanks 🙏
Great job as usual jonas watch all your stuff.can see your skills and commitment too saab cars . 93 owner.

Fan vilken snygg bil asså!

Riktigt fin Jonas, bara kvar att fixa lite mer effekt nu ;)
😎 Kommer eventuellt
Wonderful car
Thanks 🙏

What is the technique for removing the paint, looks sort of like a method of sandblasting? Thanks, in advance. Jon. Awesome video.
I used blasting with Steel grit, not sand. But sand works as well
Satan vilken pärla, bra jobbat. Grattis till 1a plats :)
Tack så mycket 🙏 det blev verkligen en pärla 😉
If I had that kind of money. I would do the same. Saabs are very unique.
What coilovers are those? I have a TurboX and I'm looking for full suspension setup but I only see MapTun that is compatible with XWD and V6
D2 Coilovers, The car is a turbo4 though. But i think D2 makes coils for the V6 XWD as well 👌
Impressionante
WHERE TO BUY AERO KIT AND TAIL ?
As I said, you cant...Sold out on Orio, find used parts if your lucky
WOOOW är det ända jag kan säga
🙏🙏🙏
Out of curiosity - You cut the holes in the rear bumper, maybe You could do the same with the front one to convert it to aero like ? ;)
Not possible, The Aero bumper has different shape and is alot lower
@@JonasKakarikas I see. If everything goes well from today on, I'll be the owner of grey 2.8 mettalic....I'm a bit afraid of the body parts on the market, but You live only once :D
Have you got a link to the suspension kit you bought please?

Great job. What did you switch out the front calipers with?
Thanks, chevy camaro 4piston Calipers 355mm discs 👍
What head unit did you replace the old green screen with? Plug and play or modification needed? Looks great btw
Witson px5 Android, plug n play. You just need to find a way to attach the screen to the panel 👍

I also have brand new front AND back bumper. But mine have wholes for park sensors. I have also brand new all buttons, brand new front lamps, etc :P
Good investment for the future 👍
I’ve been on and off into having this car from time to time… thoughts? I’d love to do modifications etc. as well.
That is something you have to decide, i enjoy doing it 👌 Great car to look at and drive. Expensive to mod 😎
Jädrar va snygg

Хороший!
En 9-5 ng fråga.
När man ska byta bromsvätska, finns det någon speciell ordning man bör göra det på?
Alltid lufta oket som är längst ifrån huvudbromscylindern först. Alltså höger bak först, vänster bak, höger fram, vänster fram
@@JonasKakarikas Tack så hjärtligt!
Sjukt bra jobbat! Du bygger alltid så satans smakfullt :O
Blev de stor skillnad när du ljudisolerade bilen? Tänkte köra någon silentcoat eller liknande överallt på min bil
Stort tack! Blev skillnad, men skulle nog behöva på lite fler ställen för att få det "tyst" 🙏

Ja fan, kommer köra de där överallt där de går. Har ändå inget att förlora, kanske går att höra varandra i min bil sen om man har tur haha
Kör bara 😉
Are there any parts for this model or owners will have problems finding them?
Problems with finding exterior parts and more expensive then gold
@@JonasKakarikashaha ok thanks, are you Greek? Because your surname looks like Greek to me 😁
I'm not, but my wife is 🇬🇷
@@JonasKakarikas nice 🙂
Your car is so amazing 😍

Engine, chassi, brakes is no problem. But exterior parts are very hard to find. So your mechanics are correct
Hi Jonas!!Where do you get parts for Saab 9.5 NG?
Depends on what parts specific
@@JonasKakarikas brake pads spark plugs ignition coils brake discs.
@@JonasKakarikas I don't know on a 4 cylinder engine there is an ignition candy or ignition coils are separate.?
Thats basic stuff. You should able to get it at any autoparts store near you
@@JonasKakarikas I live in Russia. We have nothing at all on the Saab 9-5. N G
👍👍👍🇰🇿😍SAAB
Yeees 🙏
You can't build a car in 20 minutes
A lego car maybe 😂
Satan så rostig.
Sålde min diesel automat jag.
Den hade ingen kaross rost och va väldigt fin under med. 💪
Mina 3 andra har varit grymt mycket finare, därför ja köpte den och gjorde den till en pärla ist
@@JonasKakarikas
Underbart! 💪🤘
Riktigt snyggt bygge. Verkligen värd att vinna. När ng9-5 kom tyckte jag den var ful nu tycker jag den är hur snygg som helst
Tack så mycket! Designen på denna bilen är ju helt magisk 😎 12år gammal, men ser nydesignad ut
Where can I order one from?
They stopped manufacturing late 2011 unfortunately
Thank you
Another question ' am doing the big calipers for the front 'do I need different size rotors for them cause it says 355mm 13.98?
Yes 355mm rotor
@@JonasKakarikas where do I get these from?
Cool vid but I im tired of that anoying gay music in every material in YT. Why people think so that make that more interesting ?
500сил?!! Что за прошивка? Hirsch?
Cant read your letters
@@JonasKakarikas
Who wrote the program for EDU Trionic 500 hp?
This car does not have 500hp...If you mean my yellow 9-5 its done by launchjoelracing
