The trip to Trollhättan started on Wednesday from my garage at Nokia, Finland. I drove my two stroke to Turku where I met Tikkis and Sami who brought the V4 Rally on a trailer. The V4 was offloaded (we left the trailer at a fellow saab club member Tero Setäläs shop) and we continued on… Continue reading My trip to Trollhättan

Saab two stroke trailer hitch
I decided to put a trailer hitch on the two stroke. Basically just in case I need to take something bigger to a club event. I had an original Saab 95 trailer hitch that I did not need so I exchanged it to the 96 model with a fellow Saab Club member Vesa. It had… Continue reading Saab two stroke trailer hitch
Fuel system repair on the two-stroke
As I promised in the previous post – here’s a bit more info on what we did to fix the fuel issues on the two-stroke: So – as we suspected the fuel intake pipe in the fuel tank had become corroded during the long period the car was stored outside before I bought it. On… Continue reading Fuel system repair on the two-stroke
Saab Club driving season opened once again
Yesterday we had the Old And Classic Saab Meet at Hyvinkää. I and a fellow two-stroke saabisti Vesa participated. I took the white ’64 and Vesa brought his very original condition 1961 Saab 95. Last weekend I had to replace the complete fuel system for my stroker (including the fuel tank and fuel pump). I’ll… Continue reading Saab Club driving season opened once again
Lockheed brake master cylinder, V4 corrosion repair, two stroke fuel lines
Just a little update. I promised to do some welding on a V4. The corrosion was worse than it looked (as it always is) but we got it done. I have also been collecting parts to fix the fuel issues with the two-stroke. And I started to fix the Lockheed brake master cylinder of the… Continue reading Lockheed brake master cylinder, V4 corrosion repair, two stroke fuel lines

Upholstery stuff – my first attempt
Since I left the Sport seats to be upholstered I kind of got more interested in maybe trying that stuff out myself. As it happened the local adult education center here offered a course in automotive upholstering basics. Or rather it was a workshop where you could do your own stuff with a tutor giving… Continue reading Upholstery stuff – my first attempt
Saab Sport seats for the two stroke
I found two Saab Sport seats earlier but they were in a bad shape (re-upholstered badly). A fellow Saab Club member Briitta promised to sew new covers for me. It took a while but the seats are finally done and I put them in the car already. Here’s some photos of the process and the… Continue reading Saab Sport seats for the two stroke
Ditch light for the two-stroke
I wrote earlier that I put a fog light on the two-stroke. Actually I think the technically correct name for it is a ditch light. (And I remembered the brand wrong – It’s Johnson, not Marchall). A ditch light is basically a driving light aimed at the right side of the road (the ditch side)… Continue reading Ditch light for the two-stroke
Practical improvements for the two stroke
Now that I have been doing a little more driving with the two-stroke some more little issues have surfaced. Here’s some fix ups and photos: Windscreen rubber seal is leaking (and the rear window also). I removed the aluminium strips to be able to lift the rubber a little and inject some window sealer under… Continue reading Practical improvements for the two stroke
