Fair enough, times are hard. Anything worth salvaging on the 360 or is it just being weighed in?

nothing worth salvaging tbh, most of the interiour has already been taken out, im obv going to remove the alloys and sell them, the gearbox and battery are both dead, and im sure that there is a fuel leak somewhere..i recently replaced that rubber connection from filler to tank too and it didnt solve the smell and feeling of a fuel leak, one of the diff to wheel shafts is bent, making the back end shake at high speeds, (i think)
it's definatly a non-runner and i would probably be looking at about £110 if i scrap it

I'm sure you have parts worth something to other members, its just they don't need them all that often. These cars should be broken and not (completely) weighted in.

Most items are NLA from Volvo or anyone else these days. A few examples of parts that are often requested or will be soon;

Gearbox mounts and bushes and cross beam
Front strut top spring plate, swivel bearing, top bush
Driver Door handle
Inner wings
front valence
Rear, rear leaf spring mounts
Doors
Elect window motors
Elect window switches
Some rare gauges

Obviously depends if they are in good condition.

And if they are like anywhere within a 50mile radius of here they'll be rubbing their hands together as it's a Volvo, and therefore at least a ton and a halfs worth of steel :(

No where here realises they weigh nothing and cubes them instantly, poor GLT. Didn't even get offered :(

Nice one, epic spank and tidy repair, OUCH on the rear arch but again lovely recovery. I'm doing the Sam with a 1.4 l.e, was gonna smash the half a tonne of filler out of the arches but today went south, when more funds are available I'll crack on and get some pic's up, Burt no access is not helping. Anyway point if it all is is what shocks did you use? I've looked for landy shocks but I'm not sure if "40's" or "4's" are the same? Not done a whole lot of non bodjit work yet lol. Also epic on the welder, wasn't too sure tig would be ideal, I'm a bit rusty and need to do some (by which I mean SHITLOADS) on mine. Ah if only I had my own welder lol

You just need a set of Land Rover 90 FRONT shocks, like these :)
