Mark´s project: Volvo 360GLE saloon

[vØlvØfreak]

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

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.

[volvosneverdie]

So much awesomess.

[samueljon]

What has b used on the gear stick??
is that to shorten the throw??

Do those volvo sill covers fit a 300?

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)
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 panel

Very nice project! I wish there were leather seats and other OEM accessories available here too..

[trabitom99]

Nice one Mark, look forward to seeing the saloon louvre fitted ...

Tom

[Ride_on]

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?

[volvodspec]

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?

Do I detect a trace of envy in your post, Anjo ?

Tom

[volvodspec]

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...

[trabitom99]

Yeah, the flexible arm is a bit of a turn-off. I love the 80's Casio wrist-watch style of the display though ...

Tom

[vØlvØfreak]

Haha yeah I could have had 5 carb trip computers....
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...

[340GLT]

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