Hi, just to introduce myself. I'm IC, a few of you have recommended that I register here! I've just bought myself a blue 360 GLT saloon with the 2 litre engine. I look forward to posting my experiences here! I met some of you at the Volvo United meets and at the Turbobrick's summer party!

Ahhha! Welcome. Nice looking 360 and excellent plate. I was at the Tbricks Summer BBQ, white 360 GLT hatch and the one who caught the fire on tape! Anyway, welcome along, you'll find LOADS of info here!

Hiya Iain and welcome. I've seen pics of your car on the VOC site and it looks in extremely good condition. When we get round to organizing a V3m/tbricks meet I'm sure you'll be most welcome

Ok, I havn't been over to the VOC for a while, I'm now going to have to look for pics! Welcome IC!
EDIT: Just seen it, looks very very clean! I might have a spare repeater for you bumper here mate, and I'm not far down the road! I'll have a look through the parts.

ooh, another Hampshire based 360 saloon owner! Welcome! Perhaps you can help me persuade Chris that saloons are indeed cool...

Hi, thanks for the welcome! I'm really pleased with the car. however I will need a new l/h front wing as there is a bit of rust. I'll be replacing the front bumper as well if I can find one! I'll definately be at the next meet as I've supported all the Volvo United meets and I was at the Turbobricks party in the summer.

What's up with the bumper? They can be pretty hard to find in colour coded form, nevermind the correct colour

I have one but it's black...

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I'll take up the offer of the repeater - how much do you want for it? I'm looking for a l/h wing and a front bumper as well!

Steve, the old gent who had it before me started to lose his eyesight so hit a few things - the bumper has had it, it's in a sorry state!

You can replace the centre 'black' section quite easily if that's the only bad part without replacing the whole bumper, but sod's law will probably mean that its damaged elsewhere

Steve it's the sides that are damaged , the whole bumper doesn't sit properly at both sides! I guess I'll have to look for a whole bumper replacement.
