Carbon composites in a Classic 900

Hi all, thought I’d share this panel I made while practising resin infusion.

I run a composites engineerign studio (AP9 Engineering) but I'm also a long time owner and big fan of the Saab 900. So some interesting projects come out occasionally when I have the time to combine the two. I usually make parts with prepreg, but wanted to try infusion on a more complex geometry. Coincidentally found my engine bay panel bit banged up and corroded on the corner of the garage and the geometry was exactly what I was looking for for my challenge.

So restored the original panel to take a mould and get on with the experiment.

What I ended up with is a Nomex honeycomb sandwitch panel that's very light weight and stiff.

Next I'm looking to experiment with some other fiber materials such as Basalt that's not so good of a heat conductor, but at this time, just went with carbon that I had available.

Also an interesting goal is to use the mould I created to make a more modern version of the absorber panel that are a kind of felt material with embossed aluminium foil. A solution that can be found on all modern cars now days.

I know the approach could be controversial, so I’m happy to hear criticism. What would you question or do differently?

03 Saab 9-5 Aero Sport Estate

It looked like a small amount of rust on the outside but they had to patch the inner wheel wells in a lot of spots. It was at a body shop for four weeks.

Hey everyone, recently my old head units aux port died on me and I'm looking for a replacement radio. I loved the stock one and I'm not looking to upgrade but I seem to be having trouble finding one that has been divorced from its original vehicle with a tech2 as it seems like that's the only direction to go. I'm not having any luck finding one as all available units were just removed from the original car. does anyone have advice for me? Thank you
