Re: Daily 300's?

At 2010 I still daily drove my 360 GLT Turbo, I did 20k km at that year.

Winter usage ...

Re: Builders?

New roof for the summer house. :P The old one was a textile based asphalt roofing felt, layed on the original wood shingle roof from the 40's. The old roofing felt was probably put on at late 60's.

I've had this happen once and even though the cable was in place, the steel part didn't touch the rotational assembly at the gauge end. It was only few millimeter...

Re: Volvo, 360, Turbo

Re: Gearbox mounts 360 GLT B200

Are they available? Is there an alternative? Am I dreaming Those are NLA unofortunately, unless you can find some old stock from somewhere. Mine were knackered also so I had to get a bit creative.

Re: Welders

My two cents: If you are short on money, save a while. Nothing is more frustrating than start to learn welding with bad equipment.
