Hey. We bought one more rallycar.
But this car is build for racing. but they have put in another engine wich is a tuned B23 with double weber 45.
The tought is to rebuild this car to a standard rallycar so I can drive with it in the same class as the white one.
And don´t worry I own the white 360 still

And my daddy is going to drive with that car next year And I´m with this new yellow one.
Here are som pics. and also a movie from the test run.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a 360 with the old dashboard that wasn't a mk1.
Very nice!
cheers

83 got the new dash, right? I thought 83 was the first year for the 360 (badged '360')...and we didn't get the 343/345 badged B19 models....so what was this one exactly?
cheers

Well I knew about the T5, but I assumed the 3500 was still about as a project/rally car?

LOL, cheeky git! Hate to say it but the SD1 wins every time over the 360, but that's not to say I won't be returning to 360 ownership at some point in the future when money, time and space permit!!
And yes, the SD1 is still the project but i's being locked away for the winter whilst I save up for a nice big carb to spice things up a bit
