Epic work. 3-door, too! Wouldn't mind some of that weather sm99
Thanks! In Spain a 3 door it´s a rare car, so I try to do the best I can with period correct mods. The only things left are this side strip and if I can find one a snowcap. Also a 16v head and a LSD.

Double leaf spring to match Dai´s springs

Back on the road
Image
NOS reverse light switch, mine decided to broke
Image
Steel brake hoses
Image
Image
Soft poly mounts for the engine to match the rear ones
Image
Umm i think this glycol mount lifted with a piece of steel wasn´t in their best moment
Image
Original volvo spark plugs (the best ones)
Image
Time to test the "upgrades" :lol: :lol: :lol:
Image
Image
Image
Classic rally time
Image
242.900 km (now it´s 248.000)
Image
On action
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Last stage of the day
Image
Finish!
Image
And we even won an award, second in our category
Image

Image
Image

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
One less thing bought, 1.6 diesel with the 3.82 diff
Image
Image
Uniball top mounts
Image
Barn find, maybe in a future new 300... 343 gls with plates from my region (Asturias)
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Photoshot
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Also time to do my poor rwd skills :P :P
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Time to fresh up the front end
Image
Reinforment plates for the subframe and the arms (made by an australian guy)
Image
Image
All welded and painted with new poly bushes
Image
All back in place with the uniball top mounts, new strut bearings and rewelded cup springs
Image
New steering damper (citroen c15 one) and new 82º thermostat insted the original 92º
Image
Photos!
Image
Image
A few weeks ago my ac decided to die, the cost of the repair 400€, I decided to remove it, it was an aftermarket climair unit instaled in the dealership without original volvo parts, even the controls where put in the center console. Also in Asturias the ac is useless. If somebody wants something for the ac pm me
Image
Image
New clean console in place
Image
New 27mm swaybar
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Show time with another volvos
Image
Image
And this is one year of use, fixes, upgrades and a lot of fun with my 360, next steps dvs strut bar (is in the way) 2 10" electric fans with a refresh radiator plus an oil cooler. Now with all the poly bushes, and basically all the suspension parts brand new the car is a pleasure to drive in backroads or simply use it, it´s my daily and I can´t be happier. I still searching a snowcap, if somebody have one and wanted to sell it...

Thanks! Yes, I love it the green gls, maybe I have to offer some money to the owner and put it back on road after several years of no use...

Little update, refurbish radiator, had a little leaking in one side...
Image
E-fans in place instead the viscous
Image
New lightweight and underdrive pulleys
Image
Time to test the new parts!
Image
Little video of a pull in second gear, I think is time to put the 3.82 diff and maybe search a renix 405/408 and work the head to have 10:1 compression instead of 9,3:1
https://youtu.be/Y30JN2UQiw4
Finally get a snowcap, from Ukraine in very good shape
Image
After cleaning it and a coat of trim paint time to put in on the car

I think it´s time to update this a little bit. First of all a "new" diff, a 3.82 from a 340 1.6d
Image
Also a short shifter
Image
But still stock looking
Image
Strut brace from DVS
Image
New trim pieces
Image
Image
An idea to have extra gauges
Image
Final result
Image
Car now with -45mm springs and some spacers 25mm front 18mm rear
Image
Old b200 out
Image
Cleaned engine bay
Image
B230fb ready to install
Image
Final result, B230fb with the A cam, a 123ignition dizzy on stock LE-jet (using injectors and fpr from the B230)
Image
And a local meet with a friend in his 85 GLT
