A few things...

[SteveP]

As I've just picked up my Mk2 360 GLS... I'm after a few new things, nothing really essential but just seeing what's out there!

- New headlights
- Hella Grille (Christ I forgot how bad 300 headlights are)
- Front passenger side mudflap
- Rear C post speakers
- Any ridiculous top of the range OEM stereo
- GLT Front Lip spoiler - the three pieces
- Possibly a spare Stromberg CD175 or maybe a rebuilt kit
- Smiths Econ & External Temp gauges

[340GLT]

I have most prob got a really good pair of headlights i need to check. I have a hella grill that is currently in Norway, i think i have a new mudflap.

Ahh nice one mate... let us know on the headlights/grille.

Also, if anyone has a pair of rust free front wings or even better new ones... long shot I know, do Hadrian do them and are they any good in terms of quality

- Any ridiculous top of the range OEM stereo

OMG, I'm not the only OEM stereo fan here The one you have in there is already quite good, or are you after something digital?

Just checked Hadrian, they seem to have all V300 wings again, including those for MkIIIs which is good news.

I'm after *that* digital one... can't find the pic at the mo but I'm sure you'll know what I mean

Anyone know which stereo's hook up to the 4 speaker external amp? I'm half tempted to wire the original one back up and flog the modern equipment that came with it.

I've just noticed the Hadrian catalogue, good news indeed... does anyone have any experience of the quality/fitting of these panels?

I guess you mean this one:

I bought the one in the first auction - which means I have have another one spare - although the thing is untested and has had its wires cut - but I have some spare plugs and wires (from Adam) too so you'd be welcome to give it a go ...

I can look into which OEM stereos have an external amp connection, the one you have in there now may well have one. AFAIK Chris still has a Volvo amp somewhere ...

Quality of the panels? They'll probably be from NOR / Klokkerholm - the repair panels I've had from them were fine, but I'd suspect Volvo wings would be better if you're able to get hold of one.

I have the original radio (digital) and amp from my white GLT if it of any interest..

[SteveP]

Sad as it sounds I think that one will be too new... potentially the amp might be good if its still the same in 1987? Got any pics?

[340GLT]

Wings for a mk3 are available from volvo still mate, the hoes can be added for the wing repeaters. Or just delete them??

TOM can you do that radio pic thing you do from the volvo brochure so I can point out which one I have

[J340GLT]

For a CR 603? The radio I've got is a CR 606 with AVI - (later replaced with RDS) but the facia panel from a 3/700 should still fit. A pretty useless radio actually, only 2x6W and the classic 80's Volvo amp doesn't fit it. But ... it was the last "official" addition to the V300 OEM radio range - I think that's why I've got one

Steve, most of the radios in that pic (except 3 & 4) can be used with a Volvo amp. Try doing an Ebay search for

HA-4120 (4x20W)
HA-4111 (4x18W or 4x20W)
HA-4020 (4x18W)
HA-6115 (2x18W)
HA-3121 (2x25W)
HA-3141 (2x40W)

Actually, if you want to take it a step further in "ridiculousness" - all the radios except the top-spec MTS in that pic are "too new" for 1984 That accessories brochure is from 1989/90

Thanks Tom... interesting stuff... well it has to be the MTS and associated amp really doesn't it

(but there are other pressing issues that I should probably sort out first...)
