Isn't that about 30 doors?

Looking for something else on the shelf this morning... I came across the brochure that the picture top right of the forum was taken from (I thought it was what this car was, but sounds more like your F plate is the GLE SE that the brochure is from). I'll try and get a copy up if you are interested?

That was easier than planned... not great quality, but it was quick

Yeah that's the one! Actually got a brochure with the car, a £250 buy from eBay in June 2003, 56K from new - it's mainly been stored since then, is it worth a full paint job to mint it do you reckon???

Yeah, there are a few doors across all my 300s

I'll only be looking to re-skin the ones on the 360 and 343 for now.

cheers

I think as well as the same colour GLT tailgate I may fit the GLT bumpers too, a subtle improvement??

Post by **foggyjames** » 23 Nov 2007 08:17 pm

Yes - a very worthwhile upgrade.

cheers

The five cars in the line-up are SteveP's old 360 GLT (5dr), Chris' "Kar", MJ's showroom condition 340 saloon, Pettaw's 360 GLEi SE, and my 360 GLE. The picture was taken at a traction/steam rally at the West Somerset Railway during the Taunton weekend meet in 2005.

cheers

Steam and Volvo's all in one day

That was an awesome day, just looked for the thread with pics and can't find it, I've some on my computer somewhere! And the video is somewhere too...

Post by MJ » 26 Nov 2007 08:23 pm

Yeah, was a good day

I'm after a mint set of non-GLT bumpers with the chrome strip in them to replace those on my GLi which are pretty knackered.

You're a fair bit away from me though
