Yeah porsche style rear axle (de dion) with leaf springs. 2 degrees -ve camber as standard Rear mounted box straight onto diff with some sort of torque tube or something.
Love the wheels like, hopefully getting 2 rubbered and fitted tomorrow now i've got them sprayed and nearly mirror polished
Cheers for the comments!
The switch is to turn the guages on and off as i can't wire it to any electrics inside the cabin, has to go straight onto the alternator as the inside voltage is regulated to 10v
Sun roof has gone on strike stuck in the up-at-one-side-down-at-the-other position lol
Will whack a few more pics up soon if people are still looking

new wheels, love them! only two at the moment, need slightly lower profile tyres 185/60 R14s as opposed to the 185/65s that are on at the moment and a 1 or 2 inch drop front and back. well when i have the money. Also looking at leather seats, uber rare volvo guage holder and rear speakers. still, parts are cheap for these

#37: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 3:13 am ---- Are the leos done for the front now?
#38: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 3:38 am ---- Yeah, got all 4 done and on 185/60 14s instead of 185/65s. The laquer over the polished part has peeled off in patches so they are looking a bit sorry for them selves, need re-sanding and polishing. Yellow fog lights were done last weekend. Got a badgeless grille thats nearly finished to go on soon. Sub has been put back in and guages removed.
Now i'm saving for my own welder so i can fix the rot and start making stuff.
Thanks for looking

Badgeless grille
Just got some fly-eye stuff to do lights too
#40: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 5:16 am ---- Nice work, the 3 doors look not bad at all. All the best on the self-taught welding front unless you already know how to??
#41: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 2:38 pm ---- cheers, the 3 door is a mark 2 and thy look better anyway, still mine's practical
I'm doing a part-time Mig welding course, i wouldn't dare set about welding up the holes if i had no idea. Only problem now is that a mig looks to be more expensive than the course :/ Hopefully i can find a 2nd hand one with a bottle, they cost 70 quid a year to rent before you get the gas
missed out on some leather seats for it, seen a porsche 944 in a scrappies so might look to get the front seats out that
Lowering is high on the want list too, looking to go down about 2"
Thanks for looking
#42: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 2:44 pm ---- Badgeless grille has made it look like a bit like a Talbot Solara/Alpine
Also resembles a Renault 18 strangely
#43: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 2:54 pm ----
ren 18
talbot
yup see where your coming from there, those wheels on the 18 are cool like still gotta put that volvo badge on it but run out of hot glue sticks
Fly-eye'd the back lights today
notice the broom handle holing the boot up
Doing the front lights tomorrow
#44: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 2:55 am ---- not posted on this thread for a while
Electric fan
The car is great in the snow! fun and sensible
Before fly-eye
After fly eye
Cant use it on the head lights, my wipers would take it off
Started to refurbish the leo's as the winter hadsn't done them any good so far:
So i sanded the 'dish' down and got some shocking paint:
Should look good, i think
Opinions more than welcome!
#45: Re: '88 Volvo 360 GLT Project Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:16 am ---- I bet you had some fun in the snow, RWD ftw!!!
