Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
Most people know me from the thread with the 2 360GLE saloons. One from my dad and the other one from me But now the work on my 360 has begun, I will update the blue car in this thread!
First some specs
- 2.0i
-powersteering
- 218.5 blue
- April 1987
many options already on it, e-windows and mirrors, central locking, fogg lights, 6 dails dash, etc ,etc
What are the plans with it?
First, welding! A lot of welding...
second, give it some proper maintenance (new oil, filters, etc etc)
third, add 'some' accessoires
Exterior
- clear indicators
- red indicators in the rear cluster (pic is from Adam)
- full saloon bodykit!
- Original electric aerial V300
- Volvo 460 spoiler
- Saloon louvre
- new rims
-blake indicators in the front bumper
- mirros and snowcap in color
Handling upgrade! warning, 18++ automotive porn
- Dai springs --> minus 2 cm 180 LBS
- GLT leaf springs
- Polybushes
- koni load-a-justers (new)
- koni 360 front (new)
- drilled front disks
many thanks too Anjo for the powdercoating!
maybe strut brace in the future?
Interior
- Volvo 760 Alarm
- tripcomputer!
- some RHD leather! That means a brand new driver seat for me
- gauge panel with 3 gauges (oil temp and presure and volt) (pic from adam)
- chrome Volvo S80 sill cover
with light in it!!!
- some proper audio! (focal 100KRS front and focal solution 25A1 active sub already waiting )
Maybe an aircon if I can find one, that would make it full option
Tomorrow rust and welding update

Hi mate.
That is going to be some car when you get it finished.
Do those volvo sill covers fit a 300?
Good luck with the car.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
Yes they do! They are very flat, you only need to find a hole in the sill for the cable, but that's also already in the sill (for anti rust treatment in the factory)MCHUDD wrote:Do those volvo sill covers fit a 300?
There are also the same sills for the backdoors, but I don't know if I'm gonna buy them, they are kind of expensive
You should ask Adam, I just borrowed his pic, because I still need to make the third gauge into the panelsamueljon wrote:What has b used on the gear stick??

Re: Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
I've come now!
Very nice stuff, doing lots of welding and suspension repainting+uprating myself on my Saloon, but all OE black (epoxy mastic). Very boring I know, but trying to keep the OE look while putting in a B230FT.
I thought the trip computer was carb only using a flow sensor, and your is an injection engine?

Re: Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
yeah the bastard has found himself an original trip computer for injection models, i believe he's even had several chances to buy the computers for a carbed model?

Re: Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
no totally not Tom, I hate the trip computers, even though they're very rare, Mark knows that
i'd maybe like them if they were integrated in the dash instead of mounted with selftapping screws on a flexible arm...

Re: Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
Yeah, the flexible arm is a bit of a turn-off. I love the 80's Casio wrist-watch style of the display though ...

Re: Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon
Haha yeah I could have had 5 carb trip computers....volvodspec wrote:no totally not Tom, I hate the trip computers, even though they're very rare, Mark knows that
1 of Joost, 1 of MP, 1 of Adam, but was not complet, and I know somebody with 2 NOS carb models....
I don't like the flexible arm too, so I want to try something like this:
I guess the size of the grid is the same in a 200 as in a 300...

You should be able to see somewhere how I had it mounted in mine. It replaced the clock and the ashtray.
