Rescuing a 360

Going to rescue a 360! This car belonged to a fellow F-Chat member. I bought the car with the intention of restoring it back to a presentable condition. Trust me, I know what I’m in for. Already replaced the windshield, got a new clutch, need to find a new inner fender assembly for the drivers side. Also need to replace the airbags as well as the airbag sensor. Already picked up a pair of pretension seatbelts. Lastly, I’m going to redo most of the body work and paint work.

Good Luck!
The car looks in good shape.

 

Looks like a nice little project Dave!

Happy wrenching mate!

 

FChatter Riquede's old car. Sold to you by the Louisiana guy that "replaced the bumper", right?

Lol, looks like a lot more than a bumper was needed there.

 

Wish you the best luck, two thumbs up for saving a rare 6spd car. The 1st pic looks lowered. Is the car running spacers with stock wheels?

 

I have the same pictures. Trust me.......It needs more than a bumper.

 

Good eye.

 

little puddy, little paint ..... we can make it what it aint

good luck with resto!

 

The puddy is going. Sourced a new hood and fender. I know that it will always be a salvage car.

 

good luck with the project, looks good so far

 

Jealous!

 

Looks like a lot of work, best of luck, and can't wait to see the finished product!

 

It's a big project but you seem up for the task. Good luck.

 

Anyone know where I can get the airbag sensor reset? I’ve already sourced the airbags and have the ball rolling. Just need to get either a new airbag ecu or get it reset

I've always wanted to do this kindda project myself, but never pulled the trigger to even dare to engage.


Looks good so far, aren't you glad the engine is on the rear

 

Any more pic's from the start of the project?

 

I'll take some as we get along with the project. I'm in the process of sourcing parts. New airbags and ECU should be here within the next week. Got a new clutch. Not sure if I'm going to take that job on myself or job it out. I did the belts on my 348 without issue, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take on a 360. Body man had a look at the car and suggested a complete redo of all the previous body work. I agreed. Thanks for the interest.

 

Keep the account, please, as I am considering to do the same thing, but with an F430...
Will be an interesting project...

 

You are not going to save any money!
Started working on changing the clutch today. Put in a few hours and I'm pretty happy with the progress. The 360 is so much nicer to work on compared to my old 348. Here are a few pictures that I took along the way.

That's cool that you are working on it yourself. Good luck and I hope you get to put a lot of miles on it.

 

Hopefully u bought low enough where even as a salvage it's worth it.

 

You're kidding......When you're in love you never think rationally.

 

The mount that holds that transaxle up in middle check out good... its prone to drying/cracking & NOW is the time to change it... Ricambi has the part & the tool for R&R..
Good luck!
