Another Volvo 360

[leeds_182]

So, @craigyt couldnt handle how cool I was with my 360 so thought he’d join the party.

I was looking at this car myself when I was on the hunt but ended up buying the red one. This one is quite rare in black and has an awesome retro sound system in it that sounds pretty sweet!

Went down to next door to stanstead to collect and drove back sweet.

Few pictures on the drive home - the obligatory petrol station shot.

As Craig is slimming down his fleet somewhat I’m keeping it at mine for a bit. He fixes most my cars I like to return the favour by polishing his so had a go at bringing the shine back. Didn’t turn out too bad for a 30 plus year old bus!

First mod is also on - a set of 13 inch minilites. Not sure if they’ll be staying white but I think they look alright. Coilovers, blocks and front lip are also on order.

Look way better now than 20 odd (wow) years ago.

 

[Clio_fool]

Damn that looks clean. You're both absolutely nuts though ?.

Make that 30, but you’re right.

 

[imprezaworks]

My fond memories of when I was driving and seeing these about. Bloody awful.

But yeah.

Brilliant. Absolutely mad, but brilliant!

How much is something like that?

Can you get proper suspension for them?

(I know nothing about old Volvos....)

Love it! What happened to that clean looking 405 @craigyt ?

You can get 5 link rear suspension and coilovers etc.

Shame the gearbox's and props seem to be cheese, as these would be cool with a turbo in them!

340 props are pants but 360 ones are a lot better. Plenty of boosted 360s that get drifted.

He’s got an outside temperature gauge.

I remember when I had my Mk2 Fiesta ghia, it had a rev counter. Shut the front door!!!

Respect your passion. I have a C30 T5, 98 S40 T4 manual and an XC60 T6 but.........I still find these unlovable, sorry.

Yet you can love an s40! No need to apologise, we all have our crutch to bare.

Boosted ones used to be quite common but they’ve all crumbled and returned to the earth.

 

[P-Co]

where do you find these in such good condition, I'm after a 340 myself, so much retro cool about them (and will fit in my packed garage) been looking round but never find any like yours!

 

[leeds_182]

Few pics of Craig’s now on blocks and coilies.

And of course the mk1 golf splitter.
