G'day from Melbourne

[360BLT]

Hey guys(girls?) just got this one recently (i'm a 240GLE convert) did about 3000+ k's of nice twisty-road driving over xmas.. totally into this car now \m/

need lowering pretty badly though





and the classic australian bush shot

[pistonpen paultje]

Nice car!!! Offcourse all the options available? (AC, PAS, etc)

[volvosneverdie]

Welcome to the forum mate
Car looks like a blinder.
Well found.

[360BLT]

Definitely no power steering, i have a feeling none of the Oz 360GLT's had it. Maybe somebody can help me out on that one? hope i didn't get ripped off in that department

and the AC needs regassing, ive got the sweat stains to prove it.



as a drivers car, definitely kicks ass though, and sounds beautiful.... but you all know that already

[volvosneverdie]

Too right.
North east england is a cold cold place, and my 340 can still make me sweat.

Awesome looking car, Mk2 GLT's look great - has anyone ever seen a white Mk2 GLT in the UK!?

[trabitom99]

Great car! Australia is rust-free A/C -equipped MkII GLT heaven But PAS never officially made it down under AFAIK.

The current Aussie trend is to raise, not lower

Pahah raise that sh*t and just cruise over the top of all those pot holes/roadkill. It is tricky finding a nice smooth twisty road here

This was a coast car and had small amount of surface rust under the drivers and passenger doors, nothing too serious though, you can see the primer in the pic.

Generally its pretty straight though. It's just the front, underneath the bumper, that is a little wrinkly. I'd love to get hold of the factory body kit to replace that. Don't fancy my chances all the way down here though..

Hard enough in europe mate!

[360BLT]

It's a stone cold shame really. Such brilliant cars, so few parts.

My mechanic was really unhappy with me after spending two weeks looking for good second hand parts - i don't think i can go back there now

[volvosneverdie]

well some far away forum members tend to stockpile parts with someone over here, then ship a big load over together to save costs.
If you dont want a lot of gear, it doesnt relly help though eh?

Something to consider though.

Most stuffs available in the right way up world.

[360BLT]

Very much something to consider. I'm just glad we have this great online resource/community for all of us people with the correct taste in autos to congregate

Peace out up-side. The down-side is about to go get loaded

[volvosneverdie]

party on dude.
Double stoked for ya.
Or something.

[SteveP]

Tell ya what, we'll provide you with some parts if you ship some rust free 360's over

Hard enough in europe mate!

And to think I gave away that opportunity over 2 years ago!!!!
