Saab 96 Rally – a quick update

Just a few photos – I’m working on getting rest of the tins and body ready for paint, so nothing too exciting going on right now… Going through some boxes at home I came upon these old Saab-stickers. I think they’ll go on the “Rally”.

Saab 96 Rally – Sump guard

I already painted a good pair of front fenders but decided not to put such good pieces on the car. So I will recycle a couple of not so good Saab 95 fenders...

I sent the engine to the machinist a few days ago. I should get it back in about two or three weeks. And I made a little proggress on the rallycar. Mainly painting a few bits and pieces, and preparing the sump guard. I found the old sump guard but it was missing quite a… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – Sump guard

Saab 96 Rally – backup lights and gearbox

New endcap being cleaned. Ofcourse this means that all the endcap spacer rings need to be fitted all over again.

I have ordered the pistons and should get them in about a week or two. So for now it’s just doing all the minor things that still need doing. We inspected the gearbox – a few little things to fix, but nothing major it seems: And I decided to install the Works-style backup lights. I… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – backup lights and gearbox

Saab 96 Rally – A little update

And this is pretty much the view it will record. The Hero3 is pretty wide angle so I may need to find a telephoto lens for it.

Lots of miscellaneous stuff still to do on the car… Here’s a little update on some of them. I already ordered some more parts and it looks like I’ll order the pistons this week. I thought I might find them easy enough here in Finland, but it seems that they are no longer as abundand… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – A little update

Hankis – Hankirallia vuodesta 1955.

A shorter version of this article in English at www.saabworks.fi Hankiralli-yhdistys ry on tehnyt merkittävän kulttuuriteon suomalaisen ralliautoilun historian tallentamisessa kustantaessaan “Hankis”-kirjan. Kirja käsittelee Hankirallin yli 50-vuotista taivalta aina vuodesta 1955 vuoteen 1994, johon varsinaisten pitkien Hankirallien voidaan katsoa päättyneen. Kirjan kirjoittajana on pääosin toiminut Esa Illoinen. Työryhmän jäseninä puolestaan ovat olleet lisäksi Peter Geitel,… Continue reading Hankis – Hankirallia vuodesta 1955.

Saab 96 Rally – gas pedal mod

And the two-stroke gas pedal installed.

Just a short update: I did the rally style gas pedal modification and replaced the V4 pedal with the bigger two-stroke pedal. And I’m willing to part with some “junk” at quite reasonable prices. I’m happy to get rid of these. Make me an offer. Also – I have now sold most of my unneeded… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – gas pedal mod

Saab V4 Rally – miscellaneous stuff

Saab 99 radiator. The core supports need to be removed.

Just a quick update on a few bits and pieces: I had this 1.7 crankshaft that needed grinding for under size bearings. But as it happened bearings in the sizes I needed were not that easy to get. I needed 0.50mm for the connecting rods and the full 1mm for the main bearings. Standard sizes… Continue reading Saab V4 Rally – miscellaneous stuff
