Just a quick update. The two-stroke is pretty much ready for the summer. I installed all the stuff I was planning on (lambda meter, steering rack, engine and gearbox mounts, revcounter and a backup light).

AJA-magazines – Saab marketing in the 1960s to 1994
I have been collecting the old Scan-Auto AJA customer magazines for many years. Especially the older ones from the sixties are hard to find. Especially since all the Scania truck enthusiasts want the same magazines! But all in all I have managed to find a pretty good collection. The AJA magazine was setup by the… Continue reading AJA-magazines – Saab marketing in the 1960s to 1994
Steering rack problems – two-stroke
It’s time to do some spring maintenance on the two-stroke. The most important thing I had on the to-do list was the steering rack. There was clearly some play on the rack. Not good.

Saab 96 Rally – backup lights and gearbox
I have ordered the pistons and should get them in about a week or two. So for now it’s just doing all the minor things that still need doing. We inspected the gearbox – a few little things to fix, but nothing major it seems: And I decided to install the Works-style backup lights. I… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – backup lights and gearbox
Oldtimer Praxis Saab 96 Restoration magazines
Ok. This is old news, but I only just got hold of the Oltimer Markt / Oldtimer Praxis Restaurieren 1 and 2 special numbers that came out already in 2010. I didn’t try to get the magazines back in 2010 for some reason. But I’m really happy I got them now (Thanks to Petri Petrie… Continue reading Oldtimer Praxis Saab 96 Restoration magazines
Saab Club Finland Winter Meet
The Saab Club winter event was today. Unfortunately Tikkis didn’t bring the rallycross V4 because of the foul weather, so I didn’t shoot any video. But here’s a few photos.
