Re: Volvo 360 gear stick pull rod 1220894

Oh :( that's okay. I've been searching for ages. Born Built Beauties in Belgium had a few, but they only accept international bank transfer and it is not worth all the fees etc for that. I'll ring Sunshine Coast Volvo and see if they have any. If not, wondering if it would be very hard to make one.....

Re: Can't put 360 into reverse?

How exactly do you go about tasking the gear stick apart?

Re: Can't put 360 into reverse?

Thanks for your help, I've sent them an email. Do you know what the actual name of the part is? I was thinking of having a look on eBay for it, there seem to be a lot of accessories for these cars on there.

Re: Can't put 360 into reverse?

It's the little elastic thingy that has snapped that wraps around the reverse lifter, here's a picture: image.jpg Any ideas? I've tried super glue but it didn't stick. Can you get these things new somewhere? I've currently got my 360 for sale, and one person interested so far, offering me a lot less...

Can't put 360 into reverse?

I have a 1984 360glt with manual transmission. I hardly ever drive it anymore and plan to sell it soon. I took it for a bit of a spin on the weekend, and somehow managed to snap the spring inside the gear stick- the thing that you lift to put it in reverse? I heard a snap. And now it doesn't spring ...

Volvo 360 vs Proton Persona

Hi all, Long time no see. If your a regular of this forum you might remember me posting about this a while back, but lately due to my financial situation I've been thinking about it a bit more. So back in September 2011, when I first got my license I bought my 1984 Volvo 360. Had a few issues with i...

Re: Torn between my Proton Persona and my 360

TIPSY RIGHT NOW! LOVE MY VOLVO! (Not just cause I'm drunk haha) No one is interested in my Proton. Faaaark, I wish I didn't buy it now :( what's a good way to sell it quick? I want to have at least $2000 on top of it, so that I can fix up the rear springs in the Volvo, and then pull a dent out of it...

Re: Torn between my Proton Persona and my 360

So I think that works out to be around $40,000, or just under that anyway?? Based on the currency conversion, then converting the value of money in that time to current time. I'm thinking of selling my Proton and keeping the Volvo. Mad idea I know, but I just love it so much. My parent's are totally...

Re: Torn between my Proton Persona and my 360

How much were 360's when they were new?

I've got the Proton for sale on gumtree. Highly doubt it will get much interest... but here's hoping.

I really want to check out that Audi A3 I linked a few posts back. Great price, low(ish) km's... etc.

Re: Torn between my Proton Persona and my 360

Yeah, I did tell him to fuck off. I was pretty drunk myself. My cousin was driving, couldn't get away quick enough. The fuckwit wanted us to do a skid, and we wouldn't, so he reached in and crumpled up the P plate (provisional plate) at the front of the car. We drove away from him. The c*nt. In unre...

Re: Torn between my Proton Persona and my 360

I'm still struggling trying to see a MkII 360 GLT as a "gay" car. Ugly? Heard that a lot. A bit ... elderly? Yep, heard that too. But "gay"? Never. Well it's just one of the many things people have referred to it as. It's been called a girls car, based on its colour I presume. It's been called a pi...

Re: New Site URL stickers - Email me!!!

I remember you announcing them, I just completely forgot about it straight afterwards.

I've just returned to the forum after a while of not being here and looking through my old posts came across this thread.

Re: Torn between my Proton Persona and my 360

Well I regret it sort of now... I was impulsive and just wanted a new car, and it was great finding one for $14,000 that had hardly been driven! Bit annoyed though when I came across a used Audi A3 not long after for only $9,900 that looked virtually new. But yeah, I've been working on my Volvo a li...
