Nice collection of cars :)

What happened to the 360GLS Special? :( Are the blue cars both the same, it says its a 360GLi but then has a 340DL badge on the rear? I like the bumper mounted foglights and wide wheels :D

The blue cars are the same. It is a practical joke to fool GTI-drivers.. On the back it says 340 DL diesel, but it really is a 360 B200E. :360:

The 360 GLS special was in bad condition and it was used for spare parts. sm13

Shame about the 360GLS... looked like a nice car from the picture! I agree - the 3 guage mod is very nice!

One guy at this Finnish Volvo-forum is fitting a six cylinder engine from a 960/S90 to a 360. He has twinturbos from T6 in it also. http://www.pukema.com/kuvat/360t6pako.jpg I suggested him to put a 340 Diesel badge on the tailgate. :D I'm not sure if he has written anything here but if he has his nick is Performance.

Are the right hand badges wonky, or is it just the angle?

Yeah...it is a damn tight car....the git :-P Look after it indeed!

That's the problem with my car - it's quite nice because of all the toys, but strip that stuff off, and its a rusty POS! For now anyway...

cheers
