Damn! I just got the B105 running again and had an accident only a couple of days later. Well, just a little “fender bender” but totally my own fault. Actually it was quite a “lucky” accident in the sense that, even though I rammed my friends 1975 Saab 95, the …
Passenger side I started to fix the doors, just to have some variation. Welding the body is getting a bit boring… So, having not done any of this before, I just cut the old door skin off. …Well, ofcourse I had to figure out how it’s attached, but it turned …
Well, I have to get the “B105” running again (shot timing gears and some gearbox trouble), so I started by removing the engine and gearbox. Also washed the engine bay. I then removed replacement engine and gearbox from one of the 95’s. I took the engine apart to get the …

Again I have to apologize for the picture quality, these cellphone cameras are pretty useless. (update 2007-01-10, …
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!
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 …
