The Ocar Saab 96 isn’t really made for serious racing, but more a display model. The resin body makes the car top heavy and crashing will cause more or less serious damage. The body looks pretty nice. The front section is quite ok, but the rear section is not quite …
KOLMESYLINTERINEN KAKSITAHTIKONE Tommi Järvinen / 2005 (Julkaistu Saabisti nr. 60 / 2005) Saab oli Toisen Maailmansodan jälkeen oudossa tilanteessa; Lentokoneiden myynti ei sodanjälkeisessä Euroopassa ollut kovinkaan kuumaa bisnestä, joten tulonlähteitä jouduttiin hakemaan muualta.

Ah, the snow 🙂 – – – – The brake lines are almost done (new lines and hoses all round). Although I’m still waiting for the front brake hoses from Sweden – they should be here in two weeks time. I decided to fix the fuel pump. It looked like …
