Thanks Jeff, your a good sport.

looks like I may be using the GL as the base car then and turning it into a glt using the parts from that one, if I win. lol

Not worried about the engine, as it would have had to come out to be painted and rebuilt anyway, so any problems should be found then.

I would like to re-do the inside in white leather, so the broken seat does not matter either.

Anybody got a trailer and fancy a trip to Cardiff via Weston, or even the name of a good reccouvery company.

The paint-code is the most important thing to me then, as I will have my car that colour whatever happens. Either that or the metalic burgandy that I like as well.

I don't need to win for us to meet up. Please send me some pics of your cars and also if at all possible, the paintcodes from them, as I would love to get the paint made up. Is the blue one the one on your avatar?

Thanks to all, I won the auction. I paid a little bit more than I expected to, but I believe that I will still come out on top when you considor either the great sorce of parts that I now have, or the fact that I will end up with a nice 360glt. Now if anybody has a trailor and fancies a trip to Cardiff, please give me a shout before I contact a transport company to collect the car for me?

Regards,

Ian.

I have sent you a pm with my phone number.

If you want a 360 that badly, I will let you have my GL, its just an idea and if you do want it, it is a much better starting point for a project than the glt is. Ring me, all I want to do is help you find a car. I am not offended if you don't want my gl, as I am happy to keep it.

I was thinking that I may have paid a little to much when considoring the cost of getting it transported to Cardiff, but the chap that I bought it off phoned yesterday and said that as he was going to Neath today, he could deliver it for me. I am so greatfull and it means that £218 is now definately a real bargin. I am so happy, Christmas today and the celebrations realy start this afternoon when it arrives. Anybody fancy coming over to give it a good look over, no problem, as the kettle is allways on here and bacon butties can be arranged.
