Re: MCHUDDS 1983 360 GLS (Louvre and Spoiler Content)

Hi all. Auto windscreen in Belfast could only find two replacement screens in the whole of UK and Ireland. One with a tint and one clear. I bought what I was told was the last new non-tinted screen in National Windscreens own warehouses a couple of years ago. I had already bought quite a few non-ti...

Re: [AgA] Volvo 340GL - Possible Project

That's looking good now. The wheels look good, are they 13 inch? I've got some but not on a car yet! I was wondering what they looked like.

Re: '85 360 GLS

Is it definitely the jets getting blocked? I never actually was sure what caused my problem with the green GLS, the filter on the tank inlet was certainly badly messed up with gunk which was also preventing the fuel sender from working. Although by the time I changed it, the car never did the fuel s...

Yes, far too good to drift. That front number plate make it look like a D reg, had to do a double take!

Re: Volvo 300 dilemma + some video

Hi, and welcome to the forum! Is it the actual car from the youtube clips that you have seen for sale? If it is almost free then you can't go wrong but how easy is it to get parts in Ukraine? I think the propshafts will be the hardest to find as they break easily when drifting.

Re: Middle Seat Belt, Early Cars (Lack Of)

No, my 77 car didn't have one, and I don't think the 1980 car has either, that was why I was asking about it, to find out if it's legal now to carry 5 in an early 343 with only 4 belts. I think we concluded that it is as it was constructed to carry 5 people, even with only 4 belts. (the 5th person s...

Re: Middle Seat Belt, Early Cars (Lack Of)

Thanks for the replies, I doubt the very early cars have the holes for the centre lap belt at all, plugged or unplugged, although I'll have a look at my 1980 car. It's not a big issue, as I can't see that I'll have a car full any time soon :lol: . I was just wondering what the situation is. All mode...

Middle Seat Belt, Early Cars (Lack Of)

Is the 343 (with only 4 seat belts) a 4/5 seat car legally? I mean, if there is no centre lap belt, as with early cars, I assume that even today you can carry 3 in the back without getting done for the middle passenger not having a seat belt (as non was fitted but it is a 5 seater). Back in the 1990...

Re: Official V3M 300 Spotted Thread.

This thread is grinding to a halt. Not seen any except my own since the VOC/V3M Haynes day last year. I think they must be nearly extinct in their natural habitat now out on the road in everyday/weekly use by ordinary folk....unless you know otherwise anyone? (I except from this ones owned by us, ot...

Re: Factory rust protection on early cars

A you might know I had a 77 car. From what I remember there was no underseal on the sills or lower wings as on the later cars. No underseal on the front nose cone type valance (which received many stone chips between 1977 and 1995 when I filled a few holes and resprayed it. From what I remember, the...
