1983 8V Turbo 'The Dragon'

Purchased in November 2005 from the owner in Newcastle, NSW. A brute from another era in the form of a Saab 8-valve turbo-equipped C900 that I've christened 'The Dragon'! Unfortunately there is a lot of rust in places that are expensive to fix (bottom of the doors, wheel arches, etc.), and the cylinder head of the engine has been ruined by the previous owner running water in the cooling system when the car sat mostly idle for 6+ months before it was sold. So it's going to be stripped for parts after the engine block and transmission are removed.
