	cheers, I haven't really thought about what i'm going to do with it. Slammed on sprint wheels is one option, unless any one else has any suggestions PS:- any idea if that 340 is for sale sorry the 360's gone to my mates other half to replace a rust metro, how ever i have salvaged the trim rings ;D

	Looks very cool, needs lowering, polishing, and some nice rims.

	That's well cool mate, I say do something creative with it, I reckon you could keep the looks reasonably stock, just slam it a little, stick some nice dished retro alloys or steels on there, dished as it's a RWD, and attack the paint with T Cut to get it looking like new, then look into an interesting engine transplant, a Zetec or Ecotec or similar might make for a good, usable juicy motor with good performance and economy, rigged up to the ol' favourite Ford Type 9 manual from a Sierra, then you've got a great, usable little sleeper!

	I'd be careful when choosing rims...definitely a 'try-before-you-buy' situation. Those originals are pretty flat faced, a set of Sprint wheels might stick out a lot further than you'd think. Don't rule out some later rims...a set of 15" Montego/Maestro crosswires* might be worth a try, or something from some more recent (smaller - 100, 200) Rovers or Hondas. * cgi.ebay.co.uk/MG-Maestro-montego-turbo-wheels-6X15_W0QQitemZ4567176690 cgi.ebay.co.uk/Montego-Maestro-5-White-alloy-wheels_W0QQitemZ7993080164

	I hadent realy thought about more modern wheels, the problem i am having is finding pcd info for it. Moded Dollys and toledos always see to be rolling on spring wheels or minilites does any one have a pic of on one on different wheels? As for the performance side if got a few spitfire tuning goodys which can go on for now like twin su's ;D

	PCD is 3.75", as found on Marinas, Spitfires, TR7s, Heralds, Dolomites, early Lotus(s). For later rims go for Maestro/Montego, MGF, small Rovers/MGs and their Honda relatives.

	MGF rims would look the absolute schizznack on that. Get it sorted!

	Tidy Toledo and excelent pics! Didn't realise your 360GLS had a rear spoiler... gold with chrome trim, rear spoiler - pimptastic! Try out 300 mania if your friend needs any advice with it! Sorry for the blatant plug... but if it helps keep a fairly damn rare car on the road... ;D
