Hey, I'm Paul from Holland and this is the story about our Volvo 360.

We bought it a year ago second-hand, and it looked horrible. When all the dust, birdshit and grass was removed, we could see it was a blue car.

We said:"Aah what te hell, we'll buy it for 500 dollar." We exchanged our Opel record 2.0 for it.

First,we cleaned it up and washed it three times and then we could finnaly drive with it. Let's go to the freeway... Yeah, he couldn't do more then 130-KMPH and it wouldn't pull. "Look dad there goes a 2cv and it's gaining on us AAAAARGH!!!!" Back home, we let the Engine going a whole night. On the freeway, WOW 160-KMPH "push it,push it."

Finnaly it went from 0 to 100-KMPH in about 6-7 seconds and a topspeed of 198(not bad).

  1. We decided to paint some white strokes on it (look at the pic's).
  2. We put two nice bass-speakers in the back of the car (BoomBoomBoom).
  3. A nice coloured steeringwheel-cover (red-yellow-green-blue).
  4. We have bought a Sporty exhaust (double).
  5. I bought 4 claxons (an alarmbell (ringring), aT-Ford horn (wuheeeelp), an FBI alarm (wiewiewiewie) and a double toned airhorn (pweep)).
  6. For all the horns I have taken some doorbell switches between the two fronseats.
  7. We bought a second-hand mirror out of a Pontiac Trans-Am (covering the whole front windscreen).
  8. We placed some mistlights in the frondgrill (aaah my eyes).
Now,the only two things we want to do about it is new wheels(chrome) and a tuned engine.
