Saab workshop marathon - sandblasting, dry ice blasting or flex
Our Saab 9-3 Aero workshop marathon is facing a far-reaching decision. We want to thoroughly renovate the body, and we want to do it sustainably. After the completion of the project there should be as much peace as possible - for many years.
