Saab 96 Rally – gas pedal mod

Saab 96 Rally – gas pedal mod

Tommi Järvinen 1.2.2014, 20:32 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969One Comment

Just a short update: I did the rally style gas pedal modification and replaced the V4 pedal with the bigger two-stroke pedal. And I’m willing to part with some “junk” at quite reasonable prices. I’m happy to get rid of these. Make me an offer. Also – I have now …

Saab 96 Rally – Fuel pump upgrade

Tommi Järvinen 26.1.2014, 21:08 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969Leave a comment

The car needs a fuel pump upgrade. The V4 original will not do with dual Webers… 😀 You could ofcourse just go to a store and buy a bigger and better fuel pump. But, as this is something of a budget build we decided to go with what we had. …

Saab V4 Rally – miscellaneous stuff

Tommi Järvinen 24.1.2014, 17:57 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969Leave a comment

Just a quick update on a few bits and pieces: I had this 1.7 crankshaft that needed grinding for under size bearings. But as it happened bearings in the sizes I needed were not that easy to get. I needed 0.50mm for the connecting rods and the full 1mm for …

Saab V4 Rally – electrical system

Tommi Järvinen 6.1.2014, 21:07 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969Leave a comment

I started figuring out the electrical system on the V4 “Rally”. It’s a bit of a mess really… 😀 Old wires, unmarked wires, and all sorts of iffy connections… The original wiring system had quite a few “hacks” already, and now I needed to do some more to make the …

Saab V4 Rally – suspension, brakes, and dash underway

Tommi Järvinen 31.12.2013, 03:08 Saab 96 V4 Rally 19693 Comments

Here’s the latest update on the 1969 V4 Rally. Suspension and brakes are now done, so I have moved on to the electrics and the dashboard. I also made a work light for the engine bay: And I started preparing the dashboard. As I’m putting in the older type dash …

Saab V4 Rally – working on the exhaust system, done!

Tommi Järvinen 30.11.2013, 21:54 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969One Comment

We got the exhaust system done. It’s been strengthened and also some protective plates added to places that are going to be hit by gravel and stones from the front wheels. The next order of business is putting the car on its wheels and move on to the interior and …

Saab V4 Rally – working on the exhaust system

Tommi Järvinen 16.11.2013, 22:06 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969One Comment

We started to make the exhaust system as it is much easier to do now that the car is still suspended on the “grill”. After we get it done it’s time put in rest of the suspension, drop the car on it’s wheels, and start putting stuff in (like the …

Saab V4 Rally – Some new paint

Tommi Järvinen 15.10.2013, 20:38 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969Leave a comment

The V4 “Rally” is proggressing at a more or less steady pace. I got around to painting a few bits and pieces. The paint scheme is pretty close to the one the car had in the early seventies when racing.

96 Rally – Mexico brackets and some paint

Tommi Järvinen 15.9.2013, 19:31 Saab 96 V4 Rally 1969Leave a comment

We made a little progress on the 96 “Rally” over the weekend. We needed to fit an engine block and gearbox to make the so-called Mexico brackets for extra support. I also modified the dash by cutting away the corners, to make it fit behind the vertical rollcage tubes. And …
