João’s 1964 Saab 96 restoration
João from Portugal sent me these photos of his 1964 Saab 96 two stroke that he is restoring. Looks great so far – I think it will look spectacular when finished!
Part 72. Front directional lights
The directional lights in front were not in a good shape. The plastic body was ok but the lamp sockets had rusted useless. I thought about finding new replacements but then a couple extra Saab 900 side directional lights came my way… The lights in the shortnose and the OG …
