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 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 …

Saab 96 Rally – Fuel pump upgrade
