The car is basically a 1988 Volvo 360 GLT saloon. It was first registered on 30/08/1988 and used as a demonstator car for the Tourist Trophy garage in Farnham, Kent. It was then sold to a Mr F. Wells on 14/01/1989.
It has now covered about 75000 miles, and is fairly mint. However it will now have to endure my "standard cars are rubbish" mentality and will end up with around 3 times as much power and be lots lots lower lol.
I got the car on then cracked on with removing the small amounts of rust that were present. Nothing too bad just surface rust in most places. However I started stripping the n/s front wing to find that theres a huge hole under where the front skirt fastens on. I think i'm gonna try and repair it tho there doesnt look like much good metal to weld to.
Anyway some photos of the car as it stands at the minute
The all important badges and cool mini lip spoiler
The interior is in mint condition
Massive boot
N/S rust removal - small bit of rust under wing mirror and on b pillar.
There were some scrapes in the bonnet which had rusted from what looks like where accessory spot lights were fitted
The only bit of damage to the o/s from where the keys have dug into the paint. Will be sanded down and looks like it'll need a bit of filler to smooth it.
This is the n/s front wing. As you can see its very rusty. I'm going to try to repair it but doesnt look like there'll be much to weld to. If I can't repair it will try to find one in a scrapyard and if that fails will buy a new one.
All the photos are taken on my phone so not the best quality.
