Dude!
Fifty bucks?!
Whats that?
Like 30 quid or something!?
Go and sit in the corner and write 'I must purchase bodykits when offered' 1000 times!

Same here, I delayed over a clean bodykit in a scrappy because he wanted £70 including fog lights. Felt like a right tool when I went back to get it and it'd been crushed.

Howdy, good to have another Aussie on board, where abouts in melbourne are you? i'm out east 9boronia/baywater), i've got a few spares and know a few places here in melbourne that carry stuff so let me know if you come up short again.
Worst thing i ever did was not buy my old wrecked 360 back off the insurance company, had lots of good bits left.

G'day i dont no if im righting this in the right place but i live
in australia myself not in victoria though was from new south whales
but now in tasmania! I have a volvo 360glt mk2 4door 2.0 injection ive had it for about three years now!
i havnt done to much to it yet due to working
but i have a sports exhaust on it just to give it a note and a boss stearing wheel kit
and gave the old am/fm radio a flick and put a cd player!
and im planing on lowering it around 2 inchs but over in australia its a bit harder to get parts
i got a quote from a suspension dealer for only the front springs and it was $280 im not sure
what that is in ponds! and thats not including blocks and U bolts but im sure there will be somthing else that will fit it
ford escort mabey??
And i would like to get some nice wheels to make it look nice any ideas? mabey minilites or somthing simmaliar
but only being 15 years old and working part time at woolworths it may take some time
ill put some pics on as i go through the build!!
and the classic australian bush shot
