An ominous phrase: "now is when the real work actually starts....."
You'd think Jan-Ake is ready to taper off, wouldn't you? But he's right. What they've been doing up 'til now is entertaining the guests. Now that one of those guests has moved in, it's time to really get to know one another.
And just before I toss you the links to the video, here's something I noticed while watching it that I hadn't seen before:
The SAAB stamping on the internal panel, at the top of the wheel arch. Click to enlarge and you should see it OK.
Cool.

If you are using Internet Explorer, or otherwise have trouble watching video on this site, you should click here and watch the video directly on Youtube.
If you usually get to watch video here OK (probably using a Mac or browsing with Firefox) then go ahead - the video is waiting for you after the jump.
We all appreciate everything you are doing for Saab, Mr. Jonsson!
thnx

I vote to make him King of Sweden :-)
AS JAJ says, the work has just begun. And it would be amazig if they get a mock-up for Frankfurt of the next 9-3, kind of symbolism to show where SAAB will be going to.
JK, Swade, what you see is not the stamp but a protection foam mat. A few seconds back in the video you see this on a close-up.
Pyscho Dave, that's the internal panel, so the outside side of the engine bay, before the final layer of metal as been put on top. The bonnet's put on first to get a good fit between that and the body panels.
At 2:14 you can see that it is the same dark green color on a white car, and you can see that the foam has a hole in it where the side marker light will get installed to the front quarter panel.
I too find JAJ to be a reassuring presence in the Saab company. He's as cool as the other side of the pillow.
