Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Hello, I present myself from Asturias (Spain) with my volvo 360 glt of 1986, my name is Miguel I am 19 years old and this is my first car for 6 months and also my first experience with a volvo of the 300 series. The story of how I get to my hands is a mixture of curiosity and freak, my first car was going to be a beetle of 66, which came out very bad, and after solving it with the seller I bought one from 1959 in the absence of finishing which It is a long-term project. Well, as time went by and the beetle we saw that he was not going to be ready when he finally had a license, and that happened, came the practical test and its approval and had no car, needing it yes or yes, so one day at night after looking at the typical (205, 106, ax ...) I remembered these volvo and I got to look for them out of curiosity, and it was when I found this 1986 unit, in white, three doors and with a red block b200 under the hood, so I said it at home, that I had found the car I wanted while little by little the VW was left as it should be and it was historic, on Sunday May 12 a trip to Ourense to see the car . After an inspection and a test the decision was made, this car was coming to Asturias, so with the license approved on May 7 I was expected a 4 hours travel with my father in another car in front.
A few months after having these packages arrived, ronal turbo in 15x7 et28 and springs and rear blocks -25mm of classicswede
Some photos of tests and assembly
After mounting all had the opportunity to drive it at the Jarama circuit in Madrid
More or less this is my story with my car, which I use daily and does nothing more than give me joys

Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
That's a great find! Assume it must be originally fitted to an RSX2 360? They're not red normally

Re: Volvo 360 GLT from Spain
Many things changed in this time in the 360, the first of all one day the car appeared without the front bumper inserts, so I bought the grilles of a cvt version that I like more
Also decided to repair the driver seat and bought the missing plastic parts
At some point decided to upgrade the suspension, gaz shocks were chosen (the best thing I made to the car)
I see a 340 plus in a local junkyard
So i bought some parts
Missing plastic parts of the interior
With the junkyard tray I repair mine, because the sides were destroyed by the pass of the years
I fitted the correct cluster, my car was a Gl one, yes, came from the the one that was in the junkyard (to preserve the km of muy 360 I simple change the spedometer clocks)
And the final thing, the car was repainted to look like new
And some changes in the interior, cassette holder and a semi dish sparco steering wheel, very similar to the momo from volvo r back in the 80´s

Epic work. Keep it up.
Sorry to hear some basket-weaver nicked your bumper inserts.
