A significant moment. The 360 is longer insured and is therefore no longer my daily car :(

I have put it into "storage" at my parents and intend to put a B230FT in it, this won't be happening any time in the near future though as I'll be living some distance from car. In the meantime I intend to keep on top of MOTs and get bodywork issues sorted perhaps by a professional. I was going to get it done professionally as I'd rather spend the time saving than getting frustrated that I cant do it, although I'd like to do most of the welding if possible.

It should be dry in there, with a bit of a draft to stop the place getting damp :)

I should show the new daily, the 360 has been replaced by an S60 D5 163. Its fantastic, I love the torque and the 5 cylinder noise when you boot it. Its an SE but with a few optional extras and is so much car for the money! Its a proper Volvo with 250,000 miles on the clock!!! but with a Volvo service history and and invoices to go with it. It did have an issue with it hesitating but a £35 Bosch MAF off Ebay fixed that!

Glad I've stayed with a Volvo :)

Thanks Mark, I gave the S60 a full service today and go it on a lift, all looks well underneath :)

I took the struts off the 360 today too to change the shocks, bloody hell it took some time to get them off as I was determined to pop the bottom ball joint for too long :P in the end I just unbolted them.
