Re: Anyone still alive?

Hi Steve, Thats always good when you hear something like your GLS is being well looked after. Sad to hear you may be leaving the 300 fold, I am sure it is something you might come back round to in the future. I did indeed get the 360 taxed and the battery charged but things got in the way of proceed...

Re: Anyone still alive?

Hi Steve, Will you still have the GLS if you move on the GLT ? Yeah I think I will stick with rubber bushes to keep things as near original as possible. I'm sure new rubber will be a vast difference to what's fitted just now ! :D Weather looking good here for a dry day or two so will definitely be t...

Re: Anyone still alive?

Hi All, Still here also, check in every so often as i do prefer a forum based approach compared to the instant gratification of Facebook format. Its a pity things aren't busier here but thats all to do with people using other platforms (of which I am also guilty!) However, a forum always stands the ...

Re: I'm new

Welcome to the forum, its a great resource to search back through....better than FB in my view...
Its fairly quiet here but a drip feed of regulars still appear and provide helpful responses.
Good luck with your new 343.

Re: Welding Precautions...?

Hi, The 360 with B200 engine uses the Bosch LE Jetronic management system which has an ECU (of sorts) located behind the centre console area. Ignition is still taken care of by the Renix unit and flywheel sensor. If you haven't noticed, in this forum under the Technical Resources section / Green boo...

Re: Drive shaft

Have a look on the Volvo 300 Facebook group, there are a couple of guys on there who have a lot of parts available.
Dai @ Classic Swede is also likely to have what you need.

Re: glueing rubber on body paintwork

Car bodywork trim tape is what you need. I got some on Ebay recently to re-do one of my boot badges. As Steve says make sure all surfaces are clean and carefully remove any residue. I think I used some methylated spirit sparingly, on a clean rag, to degrease both surfaces.

Welding Precautions...?

Hi All, Been a while lol I'm in discussion with a local custom exhaust company (new SS system 8) ) and it crossed my mind if they are doing any tack/completion welds with a new system on the car, are there any precautions needed to protect the ECU, Renix etc on my 360 ? I assume disconnecting the ba...

Re: 343 GL

Hi, Good luck with the project, quite a rare survivor these early models I believe. I like the front end on the 343's. Should be insurance friendly if kept standard and tidied up/recommissioned. This forum is a great source of searchable information. There is a FB group for the 300s, but you have to...
