1988 360 GLT
Posted: 20 Mar 2008 01:57 pm
It's time for me to get rid of Fioner once and for all. I've been putting it off for ages now, but I've finally sorted out the registration transfer so it's time to say goodbye.
Most of you should know the car by now, but just in case you dont it's a 1988 360 GLT 5 door. Previously owner by Pete Farrell, and I bought it off him in Nov 05 (I think). Since then I've done very little mileage as it's never really been used as a daily driver, but I've a bit of work to keep her running sweet. So off the top of my head he's the notable work done:
New battery
KYB gas-a-just dampers fitted to rear (along with new bushes)
New timing belt and water pump fitted last year
K&N replacement air filter fitted
Fair bit of welding also done last year for MoT
New poly tie bar and ARB bushes fitted (from Dai)
New diff cover gasket, bolts and fresh oil done last month
Gearbox oil also changed last month (now much smoother, esp when warm)
Rear brakes also stripped down, freed off, cleaned up and adjusted last month (along with new brake drums)
Also had a couple of oil/filter changes, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm etc.
Mileage is about 116000, but I fitted a new speedo at some point which had about 7 or 8k extra miles on it, so it's only really about 108000. So I reckon I've done about 5000 miles since I bought it.
I'm also selling her with the desriable mk2 GLT alloys, ambient temp gauge and economter all fitted and working properly. These have got to be worth over £100.
She drives great, but there's a couple of niggles I'll highlight:
PAS can be a bit inefficient when cold. It really needs a complete flush through with new PAS fluid which I will do if I have time.
She was broken into last year and the o/s doors were bent out. They've been bent back into shape, but they're not quite right. Not really noticeable if you dont know it's there though.
Paintwork needs regular polishing to keep it looking pretty, but that's just a red 360 for you.
There are a few bits of rust bubbling through, but nothing too serious. I've got a spare front wing to fit at some point which will get rid of one of the worst bits.
Heated front seats dont seem to work.
On the plus side she's got MoT until the end of September, but only tax until the end of this month. Not a problem to re-tax if necessary though.
That's all I'm going to say for now, if you want any more info give me a shout. Here's a couple of pics for you:
Note the Hella grille and CVT bumper vents will be replaced with standard items. And the reg plate will be different (and not cracked).
As for the price, not really sure TBH. Let's say £500 and we'll see how we go. Feel free to make me an offer though.
