Thanks! In Spain a 3 door it´s a rare car, so I try to do the best I can with period correct mods. The only things left are this side strip and if I can find one a snowcap. Also a 16v head and a LSD.
Thanks!

Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Time to update this from january to today
New sticker for the rear window
Double leaf spring to match Dai´s springs
One week later joining the highway the car stopped moving, time to remove the gearbox to see what happened
Fuck, here is the problem
Also time to do another jobs, old gearbox mounts
New poly ones
New gaskets for the gearbox, new fluilds and cleaned and painted body mount
Gearbox back in the car
Back on the road
NOS reverse light switch, mine decided to broke
Steel brake hoses
Soft poly mounts for the engine to match the rear ones
Umm i think this glycol mount lifted with a piece of steel wasn´t in their best moment
Original volvo spark plugs (the best ones)
Time to test the "upgrades"
Classic rally time
242.900 km (now it´s 248.000)
On action
Last stage of the day
Finish!
And we even won an award, second in our category
Ferodo ds2500
Track day in Madrid
One less thing bought, 1.6 diesel with the 3.82 diff
Uniball top mounts
Barn find, maybe in a future new 300... 343 gls with plates from my region (Asturias)
Photoshot
Also time to do my poor rwd skills
Time to fresh up the front end
Reinforment plates for the subframe and the arms (made by an australian guy)
All welded and painted with new poly bushes
All back in place with the uniball top mounts, new strut bearings and rewelded cup springs
New steering damper (citroen c15 one) and new 82º thermostat insted the original 92º
Photos!
A few weeks ago my ac decided to die, the cost of the repair 400€, I decided to remove it, it was an aftermarket climair unit instaled in the dealership without original volvo parts, even the controls where put in the center console. Also in Asturias the ac is useless. If somebody wants something for the ac pm me
New clean console in place
New 27mm swaybar
Show time with another volvos
And this is one year of use, fixes, upgrades and a lot of fun with my 360, next steps dvs strut bar (is in the way) 2 10" electric fans with a refresh radiator plus an oil cooler. Now with all the poly bushes, and basically all the suspension parts brand new the car is a pleasure to drive in backroads or simply use it, it´s my daily and I can´t be happier. I still searching a snowcap, if somebody have one and wanted to sell it...

Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Thanks! Yes, I love it the green gls, maybe I have to offer some money to the owner and put it back on road after several years of no use...
Thanks! Yes, we were quite a lot, even another 3 door GLT that isn´t in the pictures
Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Little update, refurbish radiator, had a little leaking in one side...
E-fans in place instead the viscous
New lightweight and underdrive pulleys
Time to test the new parts!
Little video of a pull in second gear, I think is time to put the 3.82 diff and maybe search a renix 405/408 and work the head to have 10:1 compression instead of 9,3:1
https://youtu.be/Y30JN2UQiw4
Finally get a snowcap, from Ukraine in very good shape
After cleaning it and a coat of trim paint time to put in on the car

Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Really Nice!! Love how to sits on those wheels!
Do 300 volvos easily appear on junkyards over there?
Im from Portugal and its not the first time i have to cross the border to find something i cant get over here...
By the way Astúrias, cool place. Went through the north of Spain last summer. You guys have some interesting mountain roads

Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
I think it´s time to update this a little bit. First of all a "new" diff, a 3.82 from a 340 1.6d
Also a short shifter
But still stock looking
Strut brace from DVS
New trim pieces
An idea to have extra gauges
Final result
Car now with -45mm springs and some spacers 25mm front 18mm rear
Old b200 out
Cleaned engine bay
B230fb ready to install
Final result, B230fb with the A cam, a 123ignition dizzy on stock LE-jet (using injectors and fpr from the B230)
And a local meet with a friend in his 85 GLT
Also a short shifter
