Hello! I am a new member and future 360 Van owner. I am currently on the look out for a good condition 360 Van. My friend introduced me to the 360 Van and I immediately fell in love with the car and told myself I have to have one. Just got done with my current build out (see below). Looking to go r...

Awesome, and welcome to the club. Looks like you got a great start of a van there. Just buy two 13" or 14" refill wiper blades and cut them down to 11" or close to what you want, I leave them a tad long. Cut the opposite end of the retaining clip . Slip them in the blade holder , bing...

well I don't remember if I mentioned to the group that I have been stuck in the bahamas for the last few months, anyway I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!Tomorrow "sat" I am bringing the boat back to Fl. and then the new engineer takes over for me. That said, I fly to Co. on t...

Hmm, 400lbs is going to be awfully stiff on the front of a 360. I used a spring and a 1/3rd on top of each other to get 400lbs in the rear. Yes, I had the unique problem with this car of finding 2.5" ID springs with a rate LOW enough. Stance makes lower rated springs, but they are low by being...

http://www.subaru360club.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3898 Any idea on front shock / spring rate ID you used? I see you picked thru a box of returns. I'm stuck on mine. 75lb coil over Baja shocks are not going to cut it for me. I need something but not sure what. 400 lbs on front axle estima...

Greetings, My name is Brian. Some of you may have bought parts from me. I have a battered 69' sedan that was supposed to run in the 24 Hours Of Lemons series. Only the body shell is original. It's powered by a CBR954RR sportbike engine (150hp/75 ftlbs), and has 2 transmissions. Suspension is Geo Me...

Welcome Ron, Not sure if being connected to Oldone is good or not, but we're happy to have you.

Welcome to the club. You snuck under the radar ! < military term there

Your van is HOT-HOT-HOT .....in high demand ! being nice and straight and (cheap). You did right, and came to the right place.

Don't feel bad. I was at Cars and Coffee Portland last weekend, someone came up to me and asked if I owned a "Stanley"?

Took me a minute....

No. I actually have 3 KR200's, red, green and silver. Here is a photo of the red one. I have 21 cars !! There is a writeup on me in MicroCar News 2 issues back. http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o664/SEEaDDS/newschmitt_zps88d5aadc.jpg What I find even more impressive, is that you store them in yo...

Joe, tutorial for posting pictures is in introduction section.

I almost forgot, you gave me the quartz clock for my Messerschmitt back during my visit as well.

Here it is from way back when:

Thanks!

2stroketurbo

Welcome Joe, we've actually met. You gave me a reproduction Messerschmitt emblem you made with dental impression tools. Jim of the Microcar News Magazine and I visited your home collection way back in 2006 or 2007. We both bought out Schmitts from the same lot of 1st 10 Bruce let go of. My Grandmoth...

Dune buggy? Suction air intake in wheel well?

Gives new meaning to "pack sand" !

Seriously, you must know how much cooling air a Subaru 360 draws in @ 5000 rpm?

Another thing that's interesting is that all of her fiberglass panels are blended into the original body work and not simply overlaid like the deluxe trimmed ones. We would never be able to know if that was a change made by a previous owner or from the mod shop itself but that and the addition of a...

The brake cylinder pistons are steel Mr. Sigmaz, I hope one of the front cylinders did not get warped, rear cylinders are more common. Welcome to the club bub!

Just be sure to scrape up all those parts as you pack up. You never know what you'll need! Take pictures and post them here as you go through this process. Folks here can garner a lot of info from them. Hear hear Steve! I second that. When I picked my car up in 1980, it was missing many parts, whic...

Seems like many members are out west - any Northeast cars here? There's a cluster of 360s here in northern NJ / western PA. At least six or so within 60 miles or less. And one of mine is a "cluster" all by itself :roll: (but that's another topic) Welcome to the club! Steve ahahahaha!

Brand new member. I got the 1969 360 sedan from gregw. It's on its way up from MS. Fingers crossed that it will arrive sometime next week. We recently went to a car show in Snohomish, and there was a couple there with a van that was in incredible shape, and we instantly knew we had to find a 360. W...

I'm so glad this van finally went to a good home, it seemed so un appreciated...for so long. Congrats! Insurance is easy, although much cheaper thru Hagerty, American Modern, or other classic car ins. companies. I have an extra cargo door if you need it. I forgot what side it is... though
