My mothers car has clear windows and I feel that it is way too hot to be used for trips in sunny days, sun burns everything inside :( But in my gl I have nice green windows and it is very rare that it would be way too hot. Even if car has been in sun many hours and I start to drive it cools down rea...

This year I have seen in Finland 360 with prize tag of 3000 euros, it had new paint and b230 engine, but still price is too high, imo.
Many 360s are around 1500-2000 euros. Then there is of course cheaper too, but usually not ok shape :(

In DK cars are even more expensive than in Finland, so I think it could be true if car is in top shape.

Engine coughs

Engine coughs few times before starts accelerating if I floor accelerator quickly, but with very small amount of choke it does not do that, but it starts to boo then because not getting enough air. It does that coughing effect around 1000-4500rpm area. Other than that it r...

Blue anodised (is that a word?) aluminium cut in correct shape and made holes and then print white numbers on transparent film and put those together. I think it is best way to get S60R look a like dials, also illumination should be ok then. But it needs high level of metal work skills and equipment...

Maybe it is possible to make in blue too, I think that it is Paint Shop Pro used to paint those, but I'm lacking bit skills for that :(

zimba has supplied those black and red only.

Engines mounting rubber parts may be worn, also driveshafts rubber parts can be worn because first, that can eventually lead to braking of driveshaft from what I have heard.
