Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969 – Page 2

Saab Sport&Rally Grille restoration

And the bezels installed.

I got a complete Saab Sport&Rally grille set a while back. It needed a bit of cleaning and painting, so here’s a few photos of putting it all back together.

Garage improvement – part 2

Building the framework of some recycled wood.

The storage shelf is now done – time to start packing in Saab-parts! 😀 And I put the back end of the V4 Rally together – looks pretty nice:

Garage improvement

It's starting to look like a rally car...

The garage was getting a bit crowded with three cars, spares, and some new parts I bought. We have been planning on building some more storage space and shelves. The Saab 96 “Rally” is now completely painted, just finished the rear fenders today. Next – the engine build. (After we get rest of the shelves… Continue reading Garage improvement

Saab 96 V4 Rally – more paint

Fitting the doors and fenders to mark the graphics.

A quick update – the Saab 96 V4 “Rally” is getting some more paint. The engine is still at the machine shop, so I have not been able to work on it.

The roof still needs the blue and the sides need the blue&white stripes.

Painting a few bits and pieces:

Saab 96 Rally – a quick update

Just a few photos – I’m working on getting rest of the tins and body ready for paint, so nothing too exciting going on right now… Going through some boxes at home I came upon these old Saab-stickers. I think they’ll go on the “Rally”.

Saab 96 Rally – Sump guard

I already painted a good pair of front fenders but decided not to put such good pieces on the car. So I will recycle a couple of not so good Saab 95 fenders...

I sent the engine to the machinist a few days ago. I should get it back in about two or three weeks. And I made a little proggress on the rallycar. Mainly painting a few bits and pieces, and preparing the sump guard. I found the old sump guard but it was missing quite a… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – Sump guard

Saab 96 Rally – gearbox maintenance

Gearbox done.

We decided to go through the gearbox and check if there’s any problems. Fortunately no major issues but there were some that needed to be fixed. Some photos and explanations:

Saab 96 Rally – backup lights and gearbox

New endcap being cleaned. Ofcourse this means that all the endcap spacer rings need to be fitted all over again.

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

Saab 96 Rally – A little update

And this is pretty much the view it will record. The Hero3 is pretty wide angle so I may need to find a telephoto lens for it.

Lots of miscellaneous stuff still to do on the car… Here’s a little update on some of them. I already ordered some more parts and it looks like I’ll order the pistons this week. I thought I might find them easy enough here in Finland, but it seems that they are no longer as abundand… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – A little update
