Ha ha yes me again! Guess what i has????

(Betteg photo's tomorrow) this thing is an immaculate example of a loved 360. Previous owner literally drove thing the length of the country when they moved from Christchurch 4 years ago. It roll's amazingly no issues with bearings, steering is remarkably light, its just stunningly beautiful. Got a box of spares. Its a shame i have to pull anything apart to fix the cambelt. Will keep updating as i go. I think the sunroof still works too!

Anyway, keep watching.

lets me know just how far away my old girl really is

I would agree with the title, isn't this number 7? But I know you will look after it and keep it in great condition, now you can have a day at replacing two cambelts

So here's the new girl

https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...45042463_o.jpg

Still very tidy and original inside

And finally the :P moment

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...42561825_o.jpg

The sunroof still works!

So upon closer inspection its not perfect. Paint isn't the best, need to replace rear hatch strut's and some door seals and sew up the front drivers bolster but otherwise its beautiful. I'll be slowly doing all those things and getting it legal again.

Right so today i took the old girl for her wof. I got a call saying i could pick it up at 11 so went and picked it up. IT PASSED! The inspector used to work on volvo's over in England and i said its one of the tidiest he's seen. so my tidy ol girl has now cost me only $470 (around £250) I'm very happy with the money spent.
