Saabs on ice! Here’s some footage from ice track today. The red Saab 96 is a V4 Rally and the yellow one is V4 Rallycross edition (Power steering, extremely lightened body, used to have injection engine but now has carburettors).
Niklas Enander from www.classicsaabracing.com had a little boutique at the IntSaab2011 event selling various performance parts for the two stroke and V4. I decided to buy the Pertronix breakerless ignition kit for the two stroke just to minimize any ignition problems and improve reliability. There’s two versions of the kit …
I bought a new project. It’s a 1969 Saab 96 V4 Rally car – originally built to Group 1 specs. The body is in a bad shape and the technique is missing, but it has some competition history from 1976 to 1977. My dad is already working on the body …
Check out this Saab “96”. I think that’s really going to be something when finished! The project site: http://www.neobrothers.co.uk/-pg-23.html
… But it will not be ready. Unfortunately I have not been able to work on the car during the summer, so it will not be finished in time for IntSaab. But I will bring it on a trailer anyway. It is in running condition though – we managed to …
I finally got all the electrics sorted out. The car has combined wire harnesses from 1964 (engine), 1966 (cabin) and V4 (rear), so there was a little bit of figuring out what connects where and which wires are not needed… But it’s all working now: Front parking lights. Rear end …
Some progress on the two stroke again. I managed to get a Saab 95 front window rubber from a fellow Saabclub member and the old rear window rubber was only cracked at couple places so it was used as such. Rear fenders are in place. The rubber strip between body …
Me and my friend Tomi “Tikkis” Tikanmäki have a new project. We are collecting info and pictures of the Finnish Saab Works Team of 1970’s. Saab Works Finland built 19 full specs Saab 96 rally cars and 2 Saab 99 16 valve cars from 1970 onwards and brought home many …
A “collector series” of classic rally cars has been published here in Finland this year. It looks like it’s a British company behind the series (www.eaglemoss.co.uk), the international marketing name appears to be “Champion Rally Cars” and in Finland “Mestareiden ralliautot” (Cars Of The Rally Champions). The packaging looks nice …
I wasn’t really satisfied with the directional light mods I did earlier – so I did a few changes that I think work better and suit the car better (not that they are visible). I also installed the headlights. We also fitted some other pieces:
