How or where can i find body parts?
Hello all, the news is that I MAY have found a 360 GLT to restore and from what I can gather so far, the work mainly comprises of a body restoration. If I am lucky enough to get hold of this car, it is my intention to restore it to its orriginal specification and keep it as a standard 360 GLT, as I am becoming increasingly aware of how rare a car this particular model is. I hope to go and see the car soon, but I allready understand that it would probably require a new front pannel and some replacement wings. Please could you advise me as to where I may be able to get hold of the body parts that this car may need. I allways think its best to ask the people that have owned, used and cared for the type of car that I am working on, as they are the people best qualified to help in instances such as this.
Thanks for your time, Ian. |

I took a call from a Hadrian agent on Monday.
86+ wings are unavailable, but ~77-81 and 82-85 wings are. 82-85 ones simply need the indicator repeater holes filling to be suitable for a 86+ car. The front valance panel (a favourite for rotting out) is unavailable, but I am going to look into having these custom made. Anything else you need? cheers James

Thanks James, I am going to look at the car this weekend hopefully with a view to getting it brought home to Cardiff on Monday. When I have had chance to give it a good look over, I will get back to you regarding other parts.
I do know that the car is a 5-door GLT in light metalic blue. It has covered over 100,000 miles so far. It has bellonged to a chap that used to work for a volvo main agent in both Cardiff and Newport. He also owns a few more 300 series volvos. He contacted me after having read my post on this site, to offer me the car. I am still hopefully going to buy the burgandy one from Bristol as well though. The bug has bitten and bitten me harder than I realised. Ian. |

Hehe...it does that! I have 5...
I think I know exactly the car you're referring to. I've been trying to convince the owner to let me have the rear spoiler if the car was to be broken... cheers James

Nicks been waiting months for Ian to pick it up now so i guess no more interest, so open to other offers before it has regrettably to be scrapped .. ....

I may know of a man vaguely in the area who might be interested. If it's going for scrap, there are likely to be some bits I'd like, too...
Keep us posted...and Happy Christmas to everyone! cheers James
