Nice looking car but the Saab Sonett was front wheel drive and grossly underpowered at that (they put out from 60-90 hp, depending on the model). Probably a nightmare to convert to a 12A powered RWD and I'm not sure it would handle very well, being engineered for front wheel drive. That looks like Mike in the driver's seat.
An interesting note - both the Opel GT and the Saab Sonett had those cool manually operated headlight lifters, you cranked a handle under the dash to lift them up. And both looked cool but were grossly underpowered.
Michael you know about a bad trailing ignitor or connection will take out your tach, right? I don't think you would get all those other symptoms though. Also make sure your chassis ground underneath the fusible links is in good shape, it can cause a lot of funny electrical stuff.

Sure it would be tough, but do you really want a transverse FWD V-4? It's a total mess, but at least it's a fiberglass body - kinda slick. Very similarly strange to the Opel.

So, we're all still up for the meet this weekend, correct? I plan on 'attempting' to make it, but you never know what'll come up with me . But yeah, any info on it besides what's already been posted would be cool.
Whoops, just noticed the other thread...

Holy cow, Ray. It looks like someone swapped my cars left to right in the garage. Very cool. Any idea who it is? I'm not digging the RX-2 Sedan, but it looks Australian, and the Coupes are hard to find.

Here's the link, the neighborhood isn't as upscale as yours:

Anybody going on the mountain trip tomorrow?
