James from Scotland sent me these pics of his very nice 1968 Saab 96 V4. The car was sold as new to Germany and from there it was imported to Scotland. James bought it just this summer. It’s in original, very good condition. Thanks for the photos James!

Saab 96 1966 for spares
More spares A couple of pics of the 1966 stroker I just bought for spare parts (It was not expensive, the guy was happy to get rid of the “junk”). The body is shot, but a great deal of the interior is usable. That’s the main reason I bothered to go and get the car.… Continue reading Saab 96 1966 for spares
Part 21. Miscellaneous stuff
The project has been on hold for the summer (too much stuff to do, places to go to, etc.). I managed to get to the Saabclub summer happening, which was great. Lots of Saabs, new and old. I sold a bunch of 99 stuff and bought an equal amount of 96 stuff… 🙂 Here’s the… Continue reading Part 21. Miscellaneous stuff
Door trim repair

Here’s a few shots about the crankshaft renovation and a few words on the differences of the “regular” and Sport-crankshaft: The crankshaft renovation was done by a fellow Saab-enthusiast Lasse Peltola. Many thanks to him for outstanding work. I’m really sorry if the explanations are a bit hard to follow. I don’t know the correct… Continue reading Part 20. Crankshaft renovation
Saab 96 V4 1967
Here’s a few pics of a Saab 96 V4 1967 we picked up for my friend Vesa. The 1967 Saab 96 is the first year with the Ford V4 engine. The previous models were all two strokers.

Part 18. Cabin
Some progress again after a lengthy break: The whole floor was changed earlier which was a major operation. Now it’s getting the finishing touches before painting. Below is a pic of the floor as it was originally. Not much metal left underneath the paint… Corrosion was sanded off the roof and it was further straightened… Continue reading Part 18. Cabin
