Random accessories

Post by Chris_C » 21 May 2010 12:01 pm

Just because we havn't had a thread with random accessories for a looooong time and I'm sure we havn't had enough pictures on the forum of late.

What random accessories has your car/shelf of interesting things got?

I'll start with (and it'll have to be an old picture as it doesn't fit on any of my 300's atm):

That is a whole huge amount of awesome, I won't be upset to have to look at the pics again ;) I never got round to compiling that Volvo Zemco post again after my computer ate it the first time... We might get some of the fitted trip computers show up here!

The plan is to.... eventually.

I've got a Zemco ZT4 that I had running in a Maxi. I need to see Volvo branded version though, just for inspiration.

At the moment, I even borrow money to get food, how poor is that?

In my 360 GLT.

Well it's actually 200-series R-Sport gauge.

Sunroof wind deflector. I also have the side skirts for the OEM bodykit, but those are in the storage for now.. Front and rear valances are in place.
Image

I also have side window wind deflectors and rear window wiper I'll post some pics later.. I would've installed the rear window wiper a long time ago but I'm missing a template for drilling the hole for the wiper shaft!


If all goes well I'll soon have the rear louvre and AUX gauge panel also.

I once had a -86 360 GL with dealer installed turbo kit also but the body rotted away and back then I didn't have resources to keep it so I had to sell it. This one had full Koni suspension+springs also..
