I bought back my old 87 360 Gl the other day. Same spec as before just got some more issues :o

A mate has owned it a year, I started studying did`t thought i could afford a car, turns out i could, so bought it back :P

Here it is:

Got some issues that needs fixed, like that broken headlamp..

I owned the car some summer months last time and in that time the car inherited some of the parts from my drift car, since that one got coilovers..

The suspension specs are:
Intrax front dampers, shorter than stock 360 dampers, and super stiff.
Shortened 3" Dai spec lowering springs. Currently almost riding on the bumpstops

It got Spax adjustable dampers at the rear.
The leaf springs are realigned to lower the car by 9 cm = 3,5"

The rear suspension is quite good, but the front need more lowering and needs sorting out the bump stop riding it is currently suffering from..

The rest of the car is mostly stock apart from a welded diff and a 2,5" exhaust from the manifold

Current wheels winter rims, some BBS i have borrowed from a mates BMW 2002
Summer wheels are powder-coated 13x8 Allycats

A pic from summer of 2009 8)

The plan is to get it back to the old standard, and sorting out the suspension, get it low and drivable, no more bumpstop banging
And I need to sort out some rust...
