It is with much regret and sadness that I type this thread. Due to a change in financial and personnel circumstances I can no longer afford to keep going with my 360 project. So the time has come to sell.

I purchased her last June as a standard 1985 B reg 360 with 114k on the clock with a view to creating an enjoyable rwd trackday car. She was structually sound with rust limited to both front wings, the front valence panel and the edges of the inner win.

Following a thorough strip down and rebuild the engine was swappred for a 2.3 b230k (with ported and polised head) and twin weber 40 carbs installed. The suspension was overhauled and renewed or replaced where wanting.

And that brings me up to date. The work outstanding on her is limited to bodywork and tuning. She needs rolling roading to have the carbs correctly jetted and setup (approx 150-300 depending on skill / time taken / parts needed). in order to achieve a conservative 140bhp.

However due to the sad world we live in the truth is that shes worth considerably more being broken for parts then sold on whole. The following is a list of performance parts fitted, also there are most normal bits off a 360 left that still have plenty of life in them so may be a good time to stock up your spares pile. Right, here goes:

-2.3 b230 k with ported and polished head

-twin 40 dcoe webers

-twin carb manifold

-genuine weber throttle linkage (can use orig. volov throttle cable)

-fuel pressure reg, with gauge and built in filter plus spare bowl, filter and plug screw

-new battery (only filled with acid 3 weeks ago)

-new master cylinder

-2x new front brake calipers

-new blackdiamond groved discs

-black diamond predator pads

-brake drums and shoes plus fitting kit

-goodrige braided brake hoses

-all new copper nickel hard brake pipes (much more resistant to corrosion)

-spax rear adjustable shocks

-off of Dai, custom front mono tube dampers

-front 3" lowering springs

-rear 2" lowering blocks

-new polybush anti roll bar fitting and link kit

-all polybushs for front suspension

-front struts have had new spring retaining cups installed (why worry about rust!)

-2xOMP bucket seats installed (using custom framework) onto volvo runners

-oil pressure and watertemp gauge with all wiring

-5XFox 5 double spoke 15"alloy wheels. 2 with nearly new khumo tyres and 2 with part worn toyo T1s tyres. Fifth wheel has no tyre.

All this is in addition to the standar 360 stuff. Its all got to go so rather then me price things just drop me a pm and we can haggle.

Regards Rich

Just a reminder to you all, all the standar 360 bitsw are also up for grabs, diff, gear box, clutch. Rear axle, brake splitters, brake servo etc etc

Your in kidderminster? Not too far from me, sound. In addition to my previous PM's is this a 3door or 5 door? If it's a 3door does it have the rear pop out windows? If so how much would you want for those and the gubbins to go with them?

PM'd regarding seats, front calipers, discs and pads.

I did the struts for Rcih so they are done properly.

Also knocking around needing to go

set of piston rings for b230 engine

2 x fan belts

QH standard shocks for front

The original springs (maybe ideal if some one wants a cheap cut down set)

Original manifold and carb off volvo 360, was in full working order when removed.

Plus all of the boring stuff needs to go like

Alternator,

Starter,

Dizzy cap and rotor arm (less then 4 months old with little use)


Im looking for £50 for the b230k engine, which will consist of bottom end, and ported and polished head. Delivery may be possible locally for the right money as i have my own engine crane, hell may even help fit it! Or lend you my crane.

There's a meet coming up soon near Milton Keynes:

http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... sc&start=0

Kidderminster isn't far away, so you could come along and join the fun, and bring bits if you have a van
Or since we'll be in the area(ish), we could all come round and descend upon your car like locusts...
Just a thought.

Cheers,
John.
