Part 4. Spare engine and on gearboxes

I bought this ’65-’66 engine for spare parts, but it appears to be in relatively good condition (internally). Maybe I’ll just clean it up and use it. Update: I took the engine apart. It’s in great shape! Even after spending years under a tree (in an abandoned longnose) and a couple of decades stored in… Continue reading Part 4. Spare engine and on gearboxes

Part 3. Triple Carburettor

I’m planning on putting in a 1965-66 engine with a few “extras”, namely a sport exhaust and the famous triple throat carburetor (Oh, the noise will be glorious!). Here’s a few shots of the carburetor setup (uncleaned). I plan on changing all gaskets, and making sure that everything is nice and tight. It’s quite a… Continue reading Part 3. Triple Carburettor

Saab 96 V4 L Super 1977. From 2004 >

I had actually dreamed of something a bit… Continue reading Saab 96 V4 L Super 1977. From 1991 to 2004

Saab 96 two stroke project. Part 2.

I don’t really have any decent photos of the current state of the project, but I took this series when the front wheel housings were being restored: These shots are from the drivers side. Large parts of the wheel housing had to be removed, as they were badly corroded. Also the spring brackets were replaced… Continue reading Saab 96 two stroke project. Part 2.

Saab 96 two stroke project. Part 1.

This is my other Saab-project – A Saab 96, 1964 (The last year this shorter “bullnose” model was made). It has an 841 cc, 3 cylinder, two stroke engine, that produces 38 hp as stock. (I have plans on spicing it up a bit though…) Unfortunately the engine on my car is pretty much shot,… Continue reading Saab 96 two stroke project. Part 1.
