Brakes on the Saab 99 can be a bit tricky to fix these days. All the components can be found but probably not off-the-shelf at the local auto parts store. The Saab Club Sweden can help with some of the components, like seal kits. Also new dust shields are available …
The corrosion repair on the 99 Turbo is finally almost done. Basically what’s left to do is fixing the driver side door. The “good” doors I had turned out to be not so good… The passenger side door needed just a few patches but the driver side door needs to …
The Saab 99 Turbo is proceeding once again – welding as usual… I had a busy summer and the project was pretty much on hold for a few months. At the moment it looks like I will not be able to put too many hours on the car but the …
I did an engine re-build for fellow Saab enthusiast, including a fully restored crankshaft with all new bearings. As I got ready to installing the engine back in the car I decided to use my GoPro camera to record it. So – here you go: Engine installation in a Saab …

I’m taking a break from the Saab 99 turbo metal work. Just to do something else for a while I decided to inspect and repair some two stroke gearboxes. Also a friend asked me to fix his shortnose 95 noisy gearbox. Finding the necessary bearings was not exactly easy. I …
