I came upon this really cool rally video of the Rally Of The 1000 Lakes 1976. Very nice footage. A lot about Saabs in there. Unfortunately it’s all in Finnish. So I wrote down short descriptions of key moments below. The video is basically an advertising piece for the Saab …
I started figuring out the electrical system on the V4 “Rally”. It’s a bit of a mess really… 😀 Old wires, unmarked wires, and all sorts of iffy connections… The original wiring system had quite a few “hacks” already, and now I needed to do some more to make the …
Here’s the latest update on the 1969 V4 Rally. Suspension and brakes are now done, so I have moved on to the electrics and the dashboard. I also made a work light for the engine bay: And I started preparing the dashboard. As I’m putting in the older type dash …
We got the exhaust system done. It’s been strengthened and also some protective plates added to places that are going to be hit by gravel and stones from the front wheels. The next order of business is putting the car on its wheels and move on to the interior and …
We started to make the exhaust system as it is much easier to do now that the car is still suspended on the “grill”. After we get it done it’s time put in rest of the suspension, drop the car on it’s wheels, and start putting stuff in (like the …
I have not had too much time to work on the 96 “Rally”, but there is some progress. The rollcage was test fitted. Coming from a different Saab 96 it was not a straightforward bolt-on, but took some hammering, drilling, and welding… But all in all it went in easier …
Well, it took a few weeks but the ’69 Rally car body work is done – or rather the rust repairs. There’s still modifications to be done. That car had a LOT more rust than I thought… I think the welding cost me almost 200 € in Mison gas alone… …
The 1969 Saab 96 V4 “Rally” I bought a few years back (is it that long already…?) is advancing. The corrosion repairs are underway again. The car is in bad shape and many of the original pieces are missing – like the original engine and gearbox for example. I have …
I just stumbled upon this somewhere (can’t remember where). Anyway, I think this “96 V4 Extreme” looks pretty awesome! And by the pictures it looks like there’s a tech upgrade coming that will make it truly “extreme” 😀 Cool car, check the rest at Garaget.org: http://www.garaget.org/?car=121513&image=1721976
Tikkis is putting for sale some Sport&Rally stuff. Read the descriptions below the thumbnails. As the IntSaab2012 is nearing it is possible to deliver at least some (smaller) items to Belgium (both me and Tikkis are participating). Of course you can pick them up in Finland also if you so …
