Saab 96 T5 – sounds interesting enough. But at the Back? Now that looks like an interesting project. Unfortunately I don’t know a lot about it. But this guy is fitting a Saab NG900 engine and suspension in an old Saab 96 sprint car and making it mid engine. There’s some photos at this Google gallery,… Continue reading Saab 96 T5 Mid Engine
Polyester resin casting new light lens for a bullnose Saab
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new directional light lenses for the two-stroke bullnose Saabs. Or actually it seems almost impossible. And I need four of them for the Saab Sport – and a few spares wouldn’t hurt. I have a few lenses that are in more or less decent shape, so I figured I… Continue reading Polyester resin casting new light lens for a bullnose Saab
International Saab Meeting 2016 in Sweden
The International Saab Meeting 2016 will be held in Sweden. I will be there and have already registered. IntSaab seems as popular as ever as the registration remained open for a very short time – only a day or two – before the places filling up. Most of the action seems to be around Vadstena… Continue reading International Saab Meeting 2016 in Sweden
Saab Sport & two stroke gear box restoration
I’m taking a break from the Saab 99 turbo metal work. Just to do something else for a while I decided to inspect and repair some two stroke gearboxes. Also a friend asked me to fix his shortnose 95 noisy gearbox. Finding the necessary bearings was not exactly easy. I did have some new bearings… Continue reading Saab Sport & two stroke gear box restoration
99T part 8 – Spare tire compartment re-build

At first I thought about making it one piece with hammer and dolly and the english wheel, but it was just a little too complex a shape for my skill level. So, I ended up making it in… Continue reading 99T part 8 – Spare tire compartment re-build

99T part 6 – replacing the rear quarter and more welding
It’s been a while since I did a progress report on the 99 Turbo. It’s coming along but requires a lot of work. We have been working on the rocker panels and floor, and now moved on to the rear side panels. Ultimately I came to the conclusion that the best way to repair the… Continue reading 99T part 6 – replacing the rear quarter and more welding
Saab 96 V4 Rally – Slippery when wet – track day video
I tested the Saab 96 V4 Rally first time on a track yesterday. Rain made the track very slippery and kept the speeds down, but I still managed to get a little action 😀 A short track day video:
Extra driving lights for the Saab 96 Rally
I bought some extra driving lights some years ago in a Saab meeting. They were basically in good condition – good reflectors, no bad rust, pretty nice chrome. So as I decided to mount them on the 96 Rally, they needed just a little fixing up. We also made a bracket to hold the extra… Continue reading Extra driving lights for the Saab 96 Rally
Brake job for the 1964 Saab two-stroke
While I was visiting Saab Festival in Trollhättan dad did a little brake job on the two-stroke. I’ll do a post on the Festival later – when I have time to write. But here’s a few photos of replacing the brake linings on the front drum brakes.
