Bet that's costing a few quid. Though you'll get another couple of decades out of her hopefully..

Just had another look at the GWS pictures.  You are a true Saab nutter!! :)

But I won't argue about it.  I remember what your other board name stands for........ ;)

Nice finish! :)

But will it really be ready for a drive to Belgium in four weeks time?  Very brave...

Brave or foolhardy, I still don't know which yet Will.  ;D
I do know that Martin at JamSAAB will get it ready in time for a few shakedowns and pre-checks, prior to the trip.
