Volvo 360 GLT from Spain

Post by miguisr20 » 04 Nov 2019 08:06 pm

Hello, I present myself from Asturias (Spain) with my volvo 360 glt of 1986, my name is Miguel I am 19 years old and this is my first car for 6 months and also my first experience with a volvo of the 300 series. The story of how I get to my hands is a mixture of curiosity and freak, my first car was going to be a beetle of 66, which came out very bad, and after solving it with the seller I bought one from 1959 in the absence of finishing which It is a long-term project. Well, as time went by and the beetle we saw that he was not going to be ready when he finally had a license, and that happened, came the practical test and its approval and had no car, needing it yes or yes, so one day at night after looking at the typical (205, 106, ax ...) I remembered these volvo and I got to look for them out of curiosity, and it was when I found this 1986 unit, in white, three doors and with a red block b200 under the hood, so I said it at home, that I had found the car I wanted while little by little the VW was left as it should be and it was historic, on Sunday May 12 a trip to Ourense to see the car . After an inspection and a test the decision was made, this car was coming to Asturias, so with the license approved on May 7 I was expected a 4 hours travel with my father in another car in front.

That's a great find! Assume it must be originally fitted to an RSX2 360? They're not red normally :D

Yes, It was in an RSX2, the owner simply didn´t like it and removed it, and after a few messages it was mine at a very good price

Many things changed in this time in the 360, the first of all one day the car appeared without the front bumper inserts, so I bought the grilles of a cvt version that I like more
Image
Image
Also decided to repair the driver seat and bought the missing plastic parts
Image
Image
Image
Image
At some point decided to upgrade the suspension, gaz shocks were chosen (the best thing I made to the car)
Image
Image
Image
Image
I see a 340 plus in a local junkyard
Image
So i bought some parts
Image
Missing plastic parts of the interior
Image
Image
With the junkyard tray I repair mine, because the sides were destroyed by the pass of the years
Image
Image
I fitted the correct cluster, my car was a Gl one, yes, came from the the one that was in the junkyard (to preserve the km of muy 360 I simple change the spedometer clocks)
Image
Image
Image
And the final thing, the car was repainted to look like new
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
And some changes in the interior, cassette holder and a semi dish sparco steering wheel, very similar to the momo from volvo r back in the 80´s

Thanks! Bad people are in all places, I will never know if they were stolen from me or if they fell while driving, I think the first
