'Le Shitbox' 1985 Volvo 360 2.0 GLE

Post by Alexdepalex »

Hey I'm back!

I quit facebook a couple of weeks ago, which really grinds my gears, because information isn't really readily available and / or it's hard to find.
I actually missed the old forums!
One thing that does make facebook easy, is the fact that dropping pictures is easily done. Here on the other hand, I gotta check a topic about that. And probably refresh my old Photobucket account.

Well, let's talk about my old project. A 360 GLE '85. Which is a handful of work.
Rotten, not pretty, busted and tired.
But I will try to get it back on the road. Eventually.

It has an injection and I have zero to none understanding for that. I only use carburators, so far.

A lot of work, this is only a tiny piece.

Was wondering if people were able to fix the MAF of these cars, I have I thought; 0280202034.

Welcome back... the forums are great, a far better format for information but annoyingly Facebook has all the users...!

Doesn't look too bad, a Mk2 GLEi injection is quite a rare thing! I'm sure there are companies that would refurb the MAF... Peugeot 205/309 GTI and some BMW's also used the same style of flappy paddle meter so would have a search if there are any specialists.

Has been a while, but the 360GLE is shoved back in line. First gotta sell a couple of other cars to create funds and repair some of my dailies and maybe halfway this summer time for this car. It deserves to get back on the road. ;)

I was slow in starting facebook, the forums are better but everyone does seem to have switched to facebook and other social media platforms

Need to convince the masses the forums are where it is at
