I just stumbled upon the “donneysaab” channel – apparently Tom Donney of Tom Donney Motors – on Youtube. The channel has a few quite interesting Saab videos. Check these out: Saab two stroke head milling. How to properly relieve the Saab two stroke head for over sized pistons or to restore the correct “crush area”… Continue reading Saab two stroke head milling

Part 76. I’ll bring the two stroke to IntSaab2011…
… But it will not be ready. Unfortunately I have not been able to work on the car during the summer, so it will not be finished in time for IntSaab. But I will bring it on a trailer anyway. It is in running condition though – we managed to sort most of the problems… Continue reading Part 76. I’ll bring the two stroke to IntSaab2011…
More Police Saabs – a 99 and a 900.
Since I already posted the video of a Saab 900 Police Car I decided to continue on the same topic. Here’s a few pics I shot of a 1968 Saab 99 Police Car and a Saab 900 Police Car. I don’t remember the model year of the 900, but I think it’s 1989-90:ish… The cars… Continue reading More Police Saabs – a 99 and a 900.
Saab 900 Poliisi (Police)
The Finnish Police still has one Saab 900 (16 valve 900i) in active duty. The car is more or less used as a backup and it is possibly going to museum sometime soon. Here’s a video from the Finnish broadcaster YLE (in Finnish only): http://areena.yle.fi/video/1299758544123 The clip should be viewable outside of Finland also.
Pelastuskortti voi pelastaa henkesi
Uusi autotekniikka asettaa pelastustyöntekijöille aiemmasta poikkeavia haasteita vakavissa auto-onnettomuuksissa. Erikoisvahvat korirakenteet, turvatyynyt, ynnä muu moderni teknologia (esimerkiksi sähköautojen kaapeloinnit ja akustot), voivat vaikeuttaa ja hidastaa pelastustöitä merkittävästi. Tämä puolestaan voi pienentää vakavasti loukkaantuneiden uhrien mahdollisuuksia selviytyä hengissä. Pelastuslaitoksilla on käytössään sähköinen järjestelmä, josta saadaan ruudulle kaavakuvat onnettomuusauton vahvistetuista rakenteista, turvatyynyistä, polttoainejärjestelmästä, akuista ym. Järjestelmä ei… Continue reading Pelastuskortti voi pelastaa henkesi
Part 75. Electrics sorted out
I finally got all the electrics sorted out. The car has combined wire harnesses from 1964 (engine), 1966 (cabin) and V4 (rear), so there was a little bit of figuring out what connects where and which wires are not needed… But it’s all working now: Front parking lights. Rear end is close to finished. Stone… Continue reading Part 75. Electrics sorted out
