Re: Daily 300's?
At 2010 I still daily drove my 360 GLT Turbo, I did 20k km at that year. I did daily drove it untill this year but it didn't do much km's at last two years as it was under repairs (head gasket, head rework, gearbox, lot's of welding etc...) most of the time, so I drove the 240 instead. 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
Seems to be a chinese made Pro-Turbo 240 manifold knock-off by looking the flange.

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.
