Well, crap.
Last night and continuing even right now, a nasty wind/rain storm that might as well have been a hurricane has been slamming the Northeast. My office was closed because there's no power there, so I've been working from home. I heard a loud bang and crash from the backyard, and... yeah.
So, this project is basically over. The roof is bent at the C-pillar and the quarter is trashed along with the trunk lid. Now I have to get it out of my own yard.

Did you at least have it insured?
No, I was going to put it on the road in a few weeks. I actually just ordered a bunch of tune-up parts for it too.
Saab-a-cet?
That seriously blows. Vut theres gotta be a way through it to make something positive.
Also, is it possible to claim on homeowners insurance?
In reply to Indy-Cougar-MellonBall-(Tyler Durden)-Guy :
That did cross my mind, but at this point, I'd rather cash out and move on. I can re-focus all my wrenching time on other projects.
If anyone wants to buy the whole thing for parts, I posted it up in the classifieds.
If it doesn't sell in the next few weeks, I'll just part it out and scrap the shell. I'm sure I can make my money back on it either way.
One thing I've learned with this project is that I like Saabs, especially the 9-5. I am keeping my eyes peeled for a cheap 9-5 wagon to possibly replace this.
