Better late than never! I took my time uploading these, but here we go – some images from the Saab Club of Finland winter event 2009. Saab Club of Finland displaying a few cars at “Talviheikki 2009” event. Some footage of setting up and of the cars. For example: Saab …
We installed an electric fan for the ’64 today. We found a small enough unit from some Huyndai. Making the brackets was pretty easy and we put some mounting rubbers between the fan and body to minimize noise and to reduce vibrations. We were able to make the installation so …
Since all the brake parts on the car are new we decided to go for new lines also. So, new piping all the way through: New lines, but they have no flaring or nuts yet. Flaring tools – look complicated but actually very easy to use. First the end of …
We had little event in Turku last weekend. I was part of the team that set the display up and also spent sunday there telling people about Saabs. Here’s a short clip I filmed; setting up, the cars and then leaving:

I found some nice parts for a V4. I think they will go to the 95 when it’s time. A 1.7 crankshaft and NOS timing gears. I got both at a very very reasonable price, so ofcourse I had to have them… 😀 Also, new front fenders for a V4. …
The heater blades now have new “arms” for the cables. They were made from brass tube and steel rods that were soldered together and then glued to the blades. Works really well and was actually pretty easy to do. A little something about the wheels: The front suspension is now …
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 …
