Ep 4. Saab 900 Turbo (2)

In Wheeler Dealers season 1 episode 4, the team focuses on the Saab 900 Turbo. Mike Brewer and Edd China set their sights on a 1991 model of the classic Swedish car. This isn't the team's first encounter with the Saab 900 Turbo - they restored a similar vehicle a few episodes back. However, this time around, they're taking a more comprehensive approach to the renovation.

At first glance, the car looks pretty good, but the team quickly uncovers a laundry list of problems that need to be addressed. Notably, the car is lacking in both power and performance, which is a major issue for a Turbo vehicle. They suspect that the problem lies with the turbo itself and begin to investigate further. Edd determines that the traditional shaft that powers the turbo has likely become warped and needs to be reinforced. Additionally, they'll need to add some new pipes to help increase airflow and improve engine performance.

While the engine gets the most attention, Mike is also quick to note that the car's exterior could use some sprucing up as well. He proposes adding a few decals and a new paint job to make the car stand out on the streets. Edd, on the other hand, would like to address the car's suspension system, which isn't living up to its fullest potential. He thinks that a few modifications could go a long way towards improving its handling and road feel.

As usual, Mike and Edd are committed to finding the best ways to solve each issue while also staying within budget. They scour local junkyards and auto shops, looking for affordable parts that will help them achieve their goals. Along the way, they encounter a few setbacks, including a less-than-friendly shop owner who isn't too keen on letting the team snoop around his inventory. However, they remain optimistic and diligent in their search.

Once they've gathered all the necessary parts, Edd gets to work on the car. He spends hours under the hood, carefully installing each new component and making sure everything is calibrated to perfection. As always, Edd's craftsmanship is both impressive and meticulous. His attention to detail, combined with his vast knowledge of car mechanics, is what makes him such a valuable member of the team.

When all is said and done, the team unveils the fully-restored Saab 900 Turbo to a crowd of car enthusiasts. The car looks and sounds better than ever before, thanks to the team's tireless effort and commitment to excellence. Mike and Edd are both proud of what they've accomplished, and rightly so - they've once again proven that with a little hard work and some creative thinking, any car can be brought back to life.

Overall, the episode is a testament to the power of collaboration and perseverance. Mike and Edd work tirelessly together, overcoming obstacles and always pushing forward towards their goals. Their dedication to their craft and their love of classic cars is admirable, and it's easy to see why this show has been a hit with audiences around the world.
