Talviheikki 2009
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:
Part 54. Steering column & misc.
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. I decided it’s quite enough… Continue reading Part 54. Steering column & misc.

Damn! I just got the B105 running again and had an accident only a couple of days later. Well, just a little “fender bender” but totally my own fault. Actually it was quite a “lucky” accident in the sense that, even though I rammed my friends 1975 Saab 95, the damage to the 95 was… Continue reading The accident
Timing gears and gearbox
Well, I have to get the “B105” running again (shot timing gears and some gearbox trouble), so I started by removing the engine and gearbox. Also washed the engine bay. I then removed replacement engine and gearbox from one of the 95’s. I took the engine apart to get the timing gears and installed them… Continue reading Timing gears and gearbox
