Re: new car YAY!!!!

A 4-km walk pushing a set of wheels and tyres, if that isn't dedication to the Volvo 300 cause, then I don't know what is :)

Where did you get the steering rack gaiters from? I could do with a pair...

Re: Injectors for 360 GLT

I would not have a clue. Start with Volvo Main Dealer, then once they've said no, consult the specialist garages. There's a couple of places breaking 360's down in Sydney, but it'll mean postage charges etc. Maybe phone around every car breaker in the book, one is bound to come up with a 360 sooner ...

Re: Passanger side fog lamp

Front or rear?

I've got a set of MKIII Rear Lenses, dunno how crack-free they are. I'll have a look. (tho I understand yours is a MkII)

If it''s front , try the breakers, nose, pay, send from UK etc :(

Re: Brake discs and pads?

Thanks for that, I'm not going to change them myself, I've always had a phobia about touching brakes ( I've done them on other peoples cars years ago... go figure) Talking to the local Volvo specialist, he'd charge me roundabout 600 dollars to change discs and pads for proper good ones OR I can go g...

Brake discs and pads?

Hi, I'm going to need some new brake discs and pads fairly soon, as my 360 is starting to judder under mild braking... Volvo don't sell them anymore, and most of the local motor factors can't - or won't get them. Ebay, and the specialist performance shops are my friend here, so what brand should I l...

Re: Hi new to the game 360glt (australia) Help

Coupla MkII's by the look of it. What's with the extra gauges? Was one of them a project car or something?

I suppose your plan is to build a good car out of the two..... given the price of parts over here, I reckon that's a good idea :)

Re: Hi new to the game 360glt (australia) Help

Welcome!
Always good to see another Aussie 360 around! Where are you from? I've got one of the few remaining in Perth.

A 16V conversion would be interesting :)

Re: I always wanted one of them........

It's a shame.

Handbuilding cars is totally archaic these days, but I'll be sad to see them go.

Like I said to you Ben earlier, when I win the lottery I'll retire to my own Desert Island with a huge stack of pornography, but a Bristol was always second on my list :)

Re: Aussies with 360's

Found a nice 360 graveyard today. It's near Yatala, handy for Brisbane 360's!
You lucky devil! Something like that over this side would be nice :)

Re: new car ideas opinions

Disco gets my vote. All things to all men I suppose.
Disco.
Coz chicks dig em.
Not met my missus then. She hated mine :)

2nd choice would be a V70, and I'd run like hell from a 90 unless you have a real need for a mud-plugger!

All goes down to whats out there and the most affordable....

Ah well, we've all been there. I constantly get the little nagging voice in my right ear saying "You're NOT buying THAT!" There will be others when you're in a healthier financial state.
