The first white saloon i bought was pretty bad too, so I bought another 360: a white 360 GL saloon. This car has hardly any rust, has a full Volvo dealer service history from when it was new. The previous owner traded in a 340 DLS from 1981 when he bought this car.
All it needs is a set of new shocks and a new timing belt. The Koni's of the HÖR will make a huge difference!
It's pretty stock right now, but I have a lot of goodies to make it better.
The evening I bought it:
View from my office:
Added fog lights, swapped the bumper hole covers for bumper vents, added rear seat belts and installed a new rear light cluster.
After an even closer inspection at home it still was an awesome find. A near perfect car with full service history is rare. It has only run 113.000 km so it is practically brand new!
I'm not fully enjoying it yet because of the worn shocks, but that special 360 feeling has returned!
The Koni's, the HÖR lowering springs and blocks together with the already installed rear coils will solve that soon!
This fall I will have a friend of mine, who has a bodyshop, get rid of the tiny bits of rust and the car will undergo a full Dinitrol preservation treatment. They will wash out all the hollow spaces, spray them with some kind of rust eliminating fluid and then spray the hollow spaces and the whole bottom of the car with a protective coating. It will NEVER rust again!
Mint interior (and a not so mint camera lense)
Crazy clean enginebay:
The aux coils:
The Koni's, lowering blocks and springs and the PAS will be fitted the 29th of june.
After the tiny bits of rust have been extinguished the bumpers will be swapped for some color coded examples and the work on the bodykit will start.
