My son wrecked his 97 Saab.

There are several around my area but of course that's a long way from you. It's not a big deal if you got the frame rack and tools. I think a google search will come up with something if someone from your area dos not chime in. Too bad you are on the wrong side of the country. I've got a 96 900 and a 98 9000 that are going for scrap soon. Tom

Yes I wanted to know, if in that trade, people would bring a car in half done and ask them to just straighten out the unibody about an inch; the hood will not fit And yes Tom are they turbo I sure could use a couple of things: The black charcoal canister that sits under the passenger fender, intercooler, and oil cooler. Heck out here the 98 9000 is very desirable.

They should be able to straighten as much or as little of the car as you give them. Be sure to specifically show them the points that are off, so they don't miss any hinge/latch point that is off.

What part of not my governor state?
I've worked on Saabs....but been a LONG time.

Inner fenders....unibody...they are part of the structure. My guess would be to pull the fenders loose (at least top bolts), loosen radiator or remove is, Port-A-Power from opposing subframe area to top of inner fenders at radiator support and see.
If you tweaked the lower frame portion, it will take a frame rack to pull it back. Hard to cross measure with all the engine, trans and suspension in the way.

Then, if MacPherson struts, the upper mounts are part of inner fender...and consitute alignment issues if out of whack....and you'll eat tyres...so frame shop it really your best option just to make sure.

I'm helping a couple with the estate of her Brother,who collected 18+ cars
on his property.There are 2 Saab hardtops - a '75 Wagonback,in great shape (hasn't run in years-
in a garage),a '90 900 2 door hatchback,Silver,with a near perfect body,hasn't run for a while,&
two convertibles that need restoration.
