Hello, I'm new! I have a volvo... Last Sunday I went to Cardiff and bought a pretty tidy Volvo 360 glt. For those that dint drink tea and listen to radio 4. Its a 2.0l electronic fuel injection straight 4, the glts apparently sit lower than the standards by an inch Heres some pictures It needs a few things doing. The neared front sits abut lower than the offside so hits the arch, its either a bent spring pan, sagging springs or, as people have said, none glt struts are shorter. Also needs front nearside wheel bearing, new idle control, and new ARB vertical link. My plan is to lower it 50mm I think and get some Volvo 440 alloys on it, however I am keeping the glt alloys. Chris

Hi and welcome to RR Chris. That looks a very tidy example indeed. I like the sound of a 50mm drop and some bigger Volvo alloys, should look ace. Keep us posted mate.

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

these are ace, allways fancied one. often chase down old biddies driving them to see if they want to sell but no luck so far. the pension convention seem to hang on to them forever. yours looks bloody clean.
