Enginge problem with my 1985 900S -- battery issue or starter?

Every day now, when I try to turn over my engine, it really struggles. Is this is a battery or starter? Eventually it gives in and turns over but it's time I finally address it.

It takes a lot of trying and a lot of gas and then eventually it starts, and sometimes it struggles to take the gas I'm giving it. After about 10 minutes of driving it seems fine. Any thoughts?

If only

I used to go out of my way to pass this old 900. I finally had an opportunity to meet the owner and they declined to sell. It’s been parked for ages. This was in Newport/costa mesa area in SoCal

She lives!

Some loud dirty injectors but some fresh fuel and vac lines got her idling on her own. I’ll be posting some updates more frequently to my instagram @pavos.dad

Saab 900 turbo stuck in gear?

1993 C900 Turbo (manual) RHD suddenly lost 5th while driving and then started struggling to select 3rd without rev matching. I stopped, put it into reverse so I could remove the key, and when I went to drive again, reverse was completely gone along with the other gears behaving strangely. The gear lever became extremely floppy with almost no 3rd/4th centring. And the gear changes didn’t seem like the stick was actually engaging, it just felt strange, I could seemingly select 1st–4th, but I’m not convinced the lever positions corresponded to the actual gears. When I thought I had it in neutral with the clutch up, turning the key made the car lurch/stall, so it clearly wasn’t actually in neutral. I was stuck on double yellows so had to move the car, changing gears did noting to the revs, maybe stuck in 3rd, I’m not sure. The car has now been recovered. Any ideas where I should start looking? Any common issues like this anyone knows about?

Pics for attention
Thank you in advance

Repair shop?

I live in Michigan and have a Saab 93 convertible. My convertible top stopped working and the shop I took it to could not figure out how to fix it.
Does anyone have a reputable shop within reasonable distance of West Michigan that you use?
