Stunning build - it's so good seeing a Volvo 300 stripped and restored like that. Even with the motorsport mods it looks showroom.

Howdy! Lovely car. It's a real shame you can't play with the engine - the B200K is held back so much by that tiny carb.

cheers

The 360 MKII GLT has injection.. At least, the homologation says.

As said, that looks fantastic, unfortunately it looks too good to drive :P

Look after it, and congratulations on the work :D

Thanks for all the good comments.
It´s a 360 GLS -85 from the start, so I have the B200K in it.
The reglement says that no adjustabel suspension is legal. but you can make the "legs" stronger like I have and the springs and dampers are free, so I have special springs from the company Lesjöfors in sweden. and I have R-sport dampers from a volvo 340. at front.
in the rear I have lowerd org. springs and modded Fiat 131 dampers as I said before. =)
The Engine is wheighted (spell?) and balanced and the whole engine is like new.
The brakes is new alround everything from disks to the headbrakecylinder.

I havent count what the projekt has cost, But I will. =)

Do you also have the homologation of the GLT? Because that homologation says you may use adjustabel ride heigt at the front. And vented discs at the front, and massive discs at the rear.

I thought you had a GLT, thats why I thought that. ;)

However, your car looks super! And i'm sure that driving rally's is really tha bomb :P

Do know where i could get some R-sport dampers?
I did`t thought l Lesjöfors produced any springs to the 360? How much did it cost to custom made them?

What does homologation stands for? Is it really what i´m thinking of?

I don´t really think you can buy this dampers in a shop. but you can have lucky and find them at any used car parts shop, or something.
I got the springs when I bought the yellow Volvo 340 Rally, that one who was smashed in the front. So it was´nt me who had bought them from lesjöfors.

Here's my go at a definition: Homologation is the process of approving uprated components for motorsport usage, primarily so no-one is using anything which gives them too much of an advantage.
