Newbie 360 GLT

Post by Raod »

Hello.

I only want to present myself and my "new" car. A 360 GLT that I saw in ebay and tempted me... Next monday i'll go for it (900 km) and post some photos.

Thanks in advance, there´s so much info in this forum for this car. I´ve been two weeks surfing it almost exclusively.

PD. Sorry for my english. :?

Welcome! That car certainly looks clean and hopefully rust free, the most important thing with a 300! There is certainly a lot of information on V3M, and any problems you come across people will only be too willing to help! It looks like theres a bit of a dent in the rear bumper, similar to mine, it occurred before I got the car, and I've yet to see if the metal part inside the bumper is what is holding it in and can be pushed back out easily. Enjoy!

Mate! That car looks sexy as, why can't we have red 360's over here that look like that?? I've yet to se KevGLT's one, but I'd sell my left arm for a 89 GLT in that red, and not faded!

Hey mine is that red and not faded - sure it needs a polish but it's pretty much exactly like that one :wink: where do you want to start the bidding? left arm was it :lol: (and it an '89 model)

Raod that is a very nice looking red 360 - I hope you have as much fun with it as I am having with mine (propshaft aside) :D

My GLT could be as shiny as that. If I ever got round to cleaning the the moss off it and giving it a polish I reckon it would come up like that one!!

Good looking car BTW, good choice!!

Really looks so good but it has 118.000km and needs some components to be changed, timing belt, front bumper and clutch. The good things its that the seller is the first owner and as extras it has A/C, power windows and central locking. Is very difficult to add power steering? What's must change for do the upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Aaaargh! Damn you :lol:

To fit PAS you'll need the bracket from a 240 with AC and PAS (source from the USA), and a PAS kit from a scrapped 360.

cheers
