Saab!

Hey guys!

I think it's safe to admit it here:

I like Swedish cars Xd !
I have absolutley loved the Volvo P1800, and the Volvo Amazon is STILL one of my favorites!
Fortunately, in Holland, there are a lot of people who feel the same as i do!
The Volvo's 440/460 and 480 have been designed by a Dutchman, Rob Koch
My father had a 440 a few years ago, and it proved to be the right car, because someone once hit my father's car at relative high speed, but my dad was safe, because Volvo's are definately NOT weak cars!!!
The other brand i also like, is of course, SAAB!!!
The 900 2.0turbo 16V (yes, the old one!) is a car i always wanted, but could never afford...
Thing is: (in Holland) when you drive a Mercedes, you're a "taxidriver", because most taxi's are the MB E class... When you drive a BMW, you're either a pimp or a drugsdealer...
And to top it off, when you drive an Audi, you're a "wannabe", because you can't afford a "real" car like BMW or MB...
Saab and Volvo are high class cars, wich are associated with doctors and teachers, so when you have one, you're a person from upper class.
Heheh, just giving you some background info, to tell you about the conversion i'm planning for SLRR!

I am far from finished with the Astra, and I have to start my VAZ/LADA project with Backa, so that's why I decided to hand over the Volvo 240 project to Linus.

So, after all this text, you want to see pics, right?
OK!

YOU tell me: which car should i do?
the saab 900 or 9000?
to help you decide, here are the pics:

And, if anyone wants to be in this project, let me know!
greetz for now, David

the 900 is cool but i don't now bekaus the 9000 is a nice car too

whell i made my choise and it is the 900

yee i am whit marcus take the 900;)

i can make a poll if you want the 1

a poll?.... hmm... yeah, i think that would be nice!

and once again: if anyone is interested in joining the project, let me know!

OKAY!!!
i have just done some work on the Saab 900!
it's far from finished, but i really wanted to show it!
somehow i managed to mess up my 3dmax, because i can't seem to move the parts properly... but: that will all soon change i hope!

anyways: i have to redo the front door window rubbers, because they look horrible.
and: i have no idea what to use for interior color!
i know that saab dashboards always used to be black, and the seats beige, but: maybe you can give a hint or two!

i know Tommy already notified that he wants to be in on the project, so that's cool!!!
if anyone wants in, to make a bodykit or something like that, let me know, then i'll upload it on rapidshare, and give you the link!

ok, i'll shut up for now, and show the pics!!!

nice and test to have the interior black

yeh gud model hope u dont leave this one to rot coz it is a descent project!!

ok guys, i have some good news!!!

i have put the astra project away for now... i will continiue with that car, but i have to wait for 2 other people who want to make addon parts for it! and: the astra will be one of three opel models!!!
Mobius is going to make the opel tigra twin top and the new corsa, and with my astra, it will be a good package!
but all of that has to be released, and it will NOT be soon unfortunately...

anyways: the saab is close to be finished, so that's good! BUT: i have no ingame pics at the moment, because i need to script in everything in place, but that's easy!
But i'm still left with a few problems:
-RPK
-loading order
-renaming some parts

if anyone knows how to script and want to help, let me know!!!

@Maxxen:
i have received your request for the saab 9000.
i have sent u a reply, i have not forgotten you!!!

i will try to be on msn soon!

greets for now, David

Yo i can help you with a lot. rpk and scripting/renaming so lets get together on MSN =) so when ever you get online just add me max@realconcept.se =) and w'ell see what to do =)

OMG dave itd awsome

thanks 4 the nice comments guys:)
but: Maxxen is gonna do this project!
i am only suppliyng him with the base mesh/textures: he's a lot better with modeling, so it's only fair that he's gonna do this one.
i'm continiuing with the 900 project, and i hope to post pics soon!

hey guys!
even sooner, much sooner than i've expected, i have an update for y'all!!!
it's the Saab 900...
like duh..... lol!
anyways, i've restarted the project, and this time i've scaled it to fit the focer.
i have the car ingame by i think 20%, cuz i haven't done loading order, and it's still called "focer"...
and: i have to script all the parts into place, but that will all come in due time.

i have 2 versions already: standard and drift (DRFT) version.
i really hope that you'll enjoy the pics, and as sson as i have another update, i'll keep y'all posted!
'till next time, David

nice really nice

really nice keep up the good progress!!!!
