hi!!! tell me what you want, maybe i put for sale the other 360, i have some spares and more things.

after 2 weeks being very busy with other things, this weekend i return to the ovlov, fitted the boot floor, weld the jack-stand fitments to the car, panhard suport, rear arms,... clean the welds and spray them to prevent the rust, lots of work and happy with the result, not big result but finising the chasis work, i want to start fitting everything!! jejeje

awesome progress!
could you tell me a little more about the HSD coilover? as in how did you fit it to the volvo hub? i've just built a set for mine using ebay coilovers but all i did was replace the volvo damper housing with the coilover tube (over simplified description). my friend is going to be buying a set of HSDs for his 360 soon and we'll be bbuilding them to fit - did you just bore out the hub to be big enough to fit the hsd mount in? or did you just cut the "loop" part off and welded on a new mount to the casting? from what i see you've utilized the old (im guessing s13?) mounts then welded that to the hub to allow height adjustment from the spring platform and damper housing itself, like the original design? or is there a bit more to it? i hope that makes some sense - thanks in advance :)
