Hi All,

I bought another 360 GL i think it's the earlier model than my current 360. Interior and engine is much better, millage clocked at 60'000 plus. Still have the same problem with fuel pump. This time I can do it heheh.. but still it won't start. I still unable to contact my cousin about the patrol car, maybe he changed his phone number. As for the 2 door gls, I still haven't meet the owner yet. So not so much to be updated here. This car is my second car parked in my mother house in KL in case i go there i have a car. Anyway this thread is still to restore the orange 360 to it's standard condition. Here is some picture of my new buy.

That number plate, would be perfect for the 'Man at C&A', which is or was a shopping chain here and a mischievous term for someone who is overly or badly dressed, I think ;- Nothing personal.

Why does this luxury GLE not have a 'full' dashboard with vacuum and temp. gauge? And what is the purpose of the LED where the turnswith for the dashlighting used to be?

Realy good looking car! Hoping to go to KL somewhere next year, maybe I even spot some 300's then.

Anyone have information about this car? The one that I notice is the sway bar is different from my current 360. The lamp looks like painted in black inside. Come over to KL next year? Any relative here? I'll be glad to be your tour guide!.. bring some 360 goodies..

The anti roll bar difference is correct. On this age the anti roll bar links to the wishbones as where your later one links to the struts

The two shown there go into the bar and then these ones http://www.classicswede.co.uk/Anti_roll ... 08386.aspx go into the wishbones
