I got the engine room wiring mostly sorted out. There isn’t that many differences after all. I had made pretty good drawings when I took the car apart and I also have the wiring diagrams from the workshop handbook. All in all very simple but somewhat time consuming. The ’66 …
Some progress on the project: The original wires were a total mess, so I have to construct a new one. And since the car is now going to have a 1966 engine, the original wiring is not correct. I will use the original 1964 wiring in the cabin but the …
Saabclub Track Day 2008 at Ahvenisto Motor Track. I had the pleasure of hitching a ride in a Saab 96 Sport! Thanks Pekka!
I have done some work on the wires. The wire harness is from the ’66 longnose since the original one was pretty much useless. I labeled almost every wire as I removed it from the car. It’s infinitely easier to put it back to a car when you know which …
Athanassios’ from Greece sent me these photos of his Saab 96 1962. Excellent photos!
2008-9-6. Suspension. I have not have too much time to spend on the project lately, but we managed put the suspension more or less together. We started with the rear end. Pretty easy stuff, except I had mislocated the plastic shims that go with the central rubber mount. But we …

We sanded the filler today (the whole car, took about 5 hours with two men working…) But the car is now ready for overcoat! Some photos: I said earlier that the area below the window frame was somewhat pitted – here’s a photo to illustrate. I had to sand a …
Filler time! It’s starting to look like the body will get it’s color this summer! I’ve sprayed the filler yesterday and today. I put on about six coats on the roof (to have plenty of the stuff to work with) and three on the sides depending on how uneven the …
Since the 900i was stolen I was forced to buy a new car. (The 900i was later found in pretty good condition though… So I now have the 900i and this Turbo as well). This is what I found: It’s a 1989 Saab 900 T8 Special. Or as it is …
