  1. I have 2 for sale with relays from 960s in Tokoroa if you're keen on one @Flash
  2. Cant find how to edit my signature on this stupid mobile version so cant do anything there. I'm keeping the bodykit as its incredibly rare and putting it on my project 360. I have another one which i' going to cut which ever way i dont cut this one. I've also got a link on yet another one to cut up, so i'm thinking firewall camping trailer, B pillar tool box/storage and maybe a ute?
  3. But seriously though, the old girl is on 17's with a top tailgate spoiler. No engine in it yet. I have an 83 760 with a forged B23ET sitting at home ready to go in. Got a plug & play loom in from england so i can run a new OS. Next is to get the flywheel machined and re-drilled, then get the clutch kit in from england. Then progress can really begin. Next update next year lol
  4. So 3 yearly topic update. Thats it.
  5. So about a year ago i picked up this 360GLT for 1k no wof/reg. BUT. It has one special addition. A full genuine bodykit. Between me and my grandfather, who has been in the volvo game for over 50 years, its one of 3 known to us in NZ. The plan was for a full restoration, but upon wof inspection, its almost as much rust as metal and bent chassis rails from people jacking up off them. So now the bodykit is coming off, and the car is destined, to become, a trailer. The question is everyone, do i cut it at the B pillar or firewall? Whats everyones opinions?
  6. That's because these good old redblock volvos just don't die. Usually the car will rust around the drive train.
  7. She looks a very nice whale. Volvo wagons , except for the 2L 10 valve 850s, are amazing work horses, and the red blocks just won't die either. If your on Facebook look up Volvo Marketplace (nz). There's a few 240 people who would be quite interested in this little project.
  8. If your worried about swarf a magnet pen in there for a while moving around perhaps? Alternatively a new head isn't an overly big or expensive job.
  9. But she is a very tidy old girl she is.
  10. The oil leak is quite common from the back of the head, or the dipstick.
  11. Pics mate. If you need parts I can always help. I'm the finda guy when it comes to volvo parts worldwide it seems.
  12. So I was told I should update this thing, and judging by my last update was 11 months ago, it's probably not a stupid idea. So progress has been VERRRRYYÝYY slow, as I've 3 jobs and selling volvo parts too, all of which keeps my busy, and tired. So I've finally got an engine stand yesterday, and put my B234 block up on it. Today I shall start pulling it down to inspect it, make sure she's alright. Once it's reassembled best it can be, I'll do the same with the dohc head. So in short I'm building (at this stage) a 2.3L twin cam twin turbo 360, hopefully good for around 25-270 hp, that's my goal for now anyway. Just as long as it has more power than the 850R basically lol. 240 horse is fine on a fwd with lsd. Put the bitch in sport in second, put your foot in it and watch your tyres disintegrate, but that power in a small (ish) 50/50 weighted car?? Body wise nothings happened. Except it's got a mk 1 golf front lip and Is now on black 17s with a chrome lip, rather than the old 16s (I've 4 sets of wheels, so they change every now and then) I have decided on metallic white, heavy on the flake, which my uncle is gonna do. He also told me of a way to ditch the intercooler, so no lag, and have the intake air cooler than an intercooler would make it anyway, so that's my little secret ;P Anyway will update again once there's some more serious engine updates or I start the wiring. Should be fun PS. I don't know how to upload photos off my cell, so once I can figure away I'll do pictures
  13. If those aren't right there dam close bro.
  14. Omokoroa hire Centre. 120 for 24 hours 95 for a day hire.
  15. Wheels and suspension: Nolathane rear leaf bushes 1.5 inch blocks Falcon wagon rear shocks with springs over top (absolutely no movement, perfect for track) Standard up the front, except 3" spacers 17x7 multi 4 stud wheels all round Plans: For cert I will need to go to Sierra disc brakes on the rear Will be going MR2 front springs Perhaps do something about more lock Engine and drivetrain: Will have a 2.3L Twin cam twin turbo (CT12s) Transaxle can handle up to 300hp so if I tune and upgrade I will need to go to Porsche 928 transaxle Interior: Fold out DVD player Playstation 8x 4" speakers Kenwood 7x10s Soundstream T4-12 sub Soundstream EGA900D amp 2x other 4 channel amps Rare volvo 360 tunnel console gauges with boost and another undecided gauge Will look at getting a glass panel sunroof Exterior: Golf mk1 front lip Pearl white respray BMW E30 mirrors perhaps 360 GLT and 360 GL rear spoilers My plan is to have a tidy little rocket that looks sleeper, but also with a hint of rice, like most civics, but not as stupid..
  16. So. I have had for a while now my baby, 1986 Volvo 360GLT. A while ago I had plans of +T ing the old girl, then one day she developed a knock so out came the motor, and my build began. At first I was just gonna drop in a B200FT high pressure 2L turbo,figured if I'm gonna do it, might as well go to a 2.3 turbo, so started scavenging parts for that. A while later I came across a B234 dohc head. So now I was going to build a 2.3 dohc turbo. As I started doing the wiring a mate of mine, came across a 1jz for his supra, and thus had a total of 4 spare sets of supra turbos off all his 1g motors. So I got to thinking..... 2.3L twin cam twin turbo 360.
  17. From what I've seen she seems to be going good, but I really only deal with his mate Louis, as he still has a 360 I may be buying.
  18. So it's been ages since I've updated this. In short the rust repair turned out shit, needs to be done again, but the turbo 360 is well underway. I've sourced me a block and head and correct sump, turbo, manifold, full wiring loom and computers, so yes, I brought a 940 turbo. Still hot to import some things like flywheel over the ditch, engine mounts in England, and then get it all bolted together and in. Wiring is half installed. Pics when I can!!
