    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.

    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?

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

    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 :)

    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.

    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!
