Hello guys ! I just 've bought a '89 360 GLT to mess with... After some years in VW world I need new emotions in sideways form
I pick a real bargain for the car, only 350 EUR, and that let some cash to improve it... Plans are refresh all the worn bits, lower it and drift it ! Maybe a swap to B230 turbo in a future too...
Some pics here with a friend's sierra that bought at the same time

Very nice! I've got almost identical.

Red fits very well with 3dr MKIII, though it's pain in the ass to keep shiny at winters because it's not metallic color.

Thanks for the welcome !! Mine is a bit in the pink side too

Nothing is wrong with VW less they've the traction in the wrong side, hehe, I have 3 VW now and I'm a bit bored. This is one of them, hope the volvo looks so good some day

There are pink ones ???
no way..... I've seen some multicolor ( parts with different color ) but never pink ones.....
Man i can't understand people who like "eyesore pink" and "can't miss in the dark" pink....
oh well...can't live without them, can't live with them.
BTW that VW looks very good...and beside it's GTI model...WOW

Yeah, there are lots of pink ones... They used to be red, a short time ago, but someone forgot to get the polish out every weekend!!!

Well 300's never originally came in pink, but a red one left in the sun too long ends up a nasty pink
EDIT: Your just too quick Chris

This man got so affected by pinky-itis, he swapped his car. He really didn't take it well, became irritable everytime someone mentioned the P work, as you can see, he still has symptoms!
