Re: Wanted: 3-Door mk2, for Preservation/Collector
I'm still about! Might take a punt at this price, it might be a nice car but it (was) a tad over-priced was it not?

Re: Wanted: 3-Door mk2, for Preservation/Collector
What do the non-injection mk2 360's go like in comparison to the fuel-injected later GLT's?

Re: Wanted: 3-Door mk2, for Preservation/Collector
Pricey, but I guess it must be right. And right it would be, colour-wise & spec, especially if I could locate a mk2 boot spoiler

Wanted: 3-Door mk2, for Preservation/Collector
Having just discovered that Pikey's have stolen my mk2 3-Door last week I am after another. Mine was a metallic blue 1985 GL with electric windows, plush interior, original radio and rear spoiler with low mileage and I am looking for similar - or at least one that can be made similar. Mine needed bo...

Re: 340 GL breaking for spares

Re: Fuel economy
I've decided that 1.4's are only economical on longish or warm runs - from cold they seem to gobble juice. 1.7's are much the same, 2.0i's similar but of course these are a lot more powerful

Collapsed n/s/f Strut
Sods law - having just filled up my E-reg 1.4 'shitter' about a minute away from my house the n/s/f starts making some very strange rumbling noise, when I get back I find that the strut cup has collapsed. Jacking up reveals that the tyre hasn't been too badly damaged (due to the distance from home a...

Doors Req.
I'm after 2 rust-free doors
The first is for my black 5-door GLT (Drivers - o/s/f)
The other is a passenger (n/s) for my 3-door mk2.
Neither will 'skin' unfortunately as the rot has extended to the door structure

Re: mk2 r/n/s Rubbing Strip required
This one is plain black, if you look carefully at the photo's there is no chrome. Spec-wise, it's an 85 GL that seems to have had a lot of extra's specified when new - the spoiler, electric windows, 'plush' seats etc

Re: mk2 r/n/s Rubbing Strip required
The black 360GLT got clipped by a dustcart, but just caused slight damage to the bumper and a broken bracket. The paid me out in cash in lieu of getting it repaired - hopefully in 3 or 4 months once I have located a rust-free drivers door, that too will be getting a full paint

Re: mk2 r/n/s Rubbing Strip required
what happened to the boot on your many-door!? looks like its been hit with a baseball bat. :( It was an old dears express, one lady owner who, alas, was not that careful towards the end. Terry the Volvo breaker had actually been sold it for £50 even though it had 6 months MOT left on it, he conside...

mk2 r/n/s Rubbing Strip required
Due to a slight argument with my gate, I'm now needing a rubbing strip for the nearside rear quarter for my 3-door mk2 in readiness for the imminent bodywork resto

Decisions: This Winter...
Tax has run out on the black 360, so I've decided to SORN it til spring. The drivers door is getting worse and I'd rather not expose the surrounding area to the perils of winter, so having got myself a door (albeit in red) I've decided to crack on and get the car sorted and painted over this winter....
