Smedbergs 360 Rallycar UPDATE ONE MORE RALLYCAR :D

Post by **_Smedberg** » 07 Jun 2007 03:28 pm

Hello.
I am new here on this forum. And I would like to show some pictures on my new build Volvo 360 Rallycar.

So it took for around 400hours to build this car.
But to take 400hours and over 1000pics and make it into words and some few pictures are impossible. So this pics can´t show everything I have done.
but if someone are interested or have any question. just let me know.

Excuse me for my bad English

// Smedberg (Sweden)

Thank you.
I will drive in a class who is called Group E.
And i will drive with an original 200K because thats what the reglement says.
I have a lot things to do with the car before it is totally finish for competition.

But in a few years I will build a new rallycar in an other class.
and this will be a great thing.

I bought this car from Dick Larsson in Sweden who had started to build this. but I will continuing the building process, It´s just standing and waiting for me

What kind of dampers are that? Really cool to see this. Is this completely build to the FIA homologation? (sounds like it anyway)

Outstanding work! Welcome to V3M. That car looks better than new, I can really appreciate all the work that has gone into this car. It's a credit to you!

I have Volvo 340 R-sport dampers at front, and Fiat 131 dampers at rear.
It´s build after the swedish reglements. And I have build it like this so I can drive it on the roads and train very much. So it´s registerd for street.

I hope you understand my bad language.

Don't worry about your language, it's very good! Your car is very very nice, I do small navigational rally's in my 340, and am looking at entering some national B competitions soon.

Welcome to the site, that is a great car you have.

Very good build up !!

The 131 dampers are plug & play or they need modification ?!

Greetz from Spain !!

thanx.
No, In Volvo Original Cup you can only drive with 240,740 and 940.
I took it from another Volvo 340 Rallycar I had, wich I bought when it was like this.

But I tought I could fix it it the whole body was broken.
So I ripped it all down and took the rollbar to my Rallycar I have now.

I took also the engine, the suspension but i changed the suspensionparts and did this stronger.

I have also had some other 340/360 wich I have taken some spareparts from.

From this car I also saved the roof, the front and the back.

There are a few hours behind this, and a lot of work but now I have very much spareparts if something goes wrong

340 rally car??? Not 360? What were the spec's of that than?

Deepest respect for the beautifull rebuild. What was your budget for this car, do you think?

Edit: why is the rear-seat still in there?

Post by **Frits** » 08 Jun 2007 11:48 pm

Very very nice work!

Did you use a original GLT (on registration)?

Do you have planned to use big brakes and the adjustabel ride hight at the front, like the homologation says?

Grtz,
