We decided to check out the condition of the original brake calipers for the Saab 96 Sport. I wanted to know if they can be restored or if I need to buy new ones on the Trollhättan visit next summer. The custom grease gun fitting was a big help in …
There is a Saab 99 GLE Finlandia with the small window for sale here: www.nettiauto.com And asking price is very reasonable. Automatic with fuel injection. It does require a lot of work to restore, but there was only 23 made of this 1977 model (Yep – no zeros missing!).

So – what causes this? The gear that is on the distributor shaft is positioned slightly off-center compared to …
In anticipation of next summer I decided it was time to put seat belts on the ’64 Sedan. I do have some original two-stroke Klippan belts but decided to spare those for the Sport. What I do have plenty are V4 seat belts (of the retractor reel type). I decided …
A little more work on the spare engine. Mostly painting and cleaning. I didn’t notice it until I started to tap the cylinder head bolt threads, but someone had broken a bolt in the block. Apparently he didn’t have the proper tools to remove it and made a hack job …
