Looks pretty good to me, especially given how the rust monster likes to attack in your part of the world!
300s getting to you now?
cheers

Hehe, they are crawling under my skin.
Bought a 300 parts car today

The parts car is rusty, but it is one of the few 360 "Spirit" left maybe there are some nice parts left on it

Hmm, those rims are a little weird on there. I don't think they were stock on this car, as these were delivered on early 343's...
Any exclusive parts on there?
Nice daily btw!

Yeah, those 13" rims were phased out as the Mk2 was introduced. Looks a bit odd on a Mk3 GLT.
Was a "spirit" a Volvo special edition or did someone just stick some random stickers on that car

?
