I took few new photos today from my car.

http://www.janiervast.com/gallery/main.php Go to Volvo pictures and then page 3 and 4 contains new images. There is 3 old images in top page 3. Also from main page you can see Sekalaisia kuvia, that one with scenery, there is other photos from same place where I took car pics.

I still need to practise to use my vidcam as some shots were not as good as I tought.

Oh yes, sorry about dirty car, 2 weeks without washing, bad me :(

Hi!

It's been a long time since I posted something here. Sure feels good to be back ;)

Anyway, here's a pic from my -87 360GL and my friend's -86 360GLE (w/PWR Windows!).

Damn the factory kit looks good on the right coloured car!

What's that on your bonnet (yeah I know its a vent / scoop...but what is it?! It looks kinda wierd!), and have you totally removed the indicators?

With some work that will be a very very tight looking GLT! From the back its one of the nicest I've seen actually.

cheers

Ah, fair enough. I saw the repeaters had gone, and thought the same might have happened to the fronts...my eyes were tired ;)

The rear view of that car is now my desktop wallpaper...that's how tight it is.

cheers

yeah im not really sure what the scoop thing is since it doesn't vent or scoop anything.
Put it on for a laugh a few months ago and its been there since. It is odd and doesn't really suit the car at all.
oh well

The colour is sweet too. Where did you get the kit?

I ought to start a poll - scrap yard / with the car / new from dealer!

cheers
