New 360 van owner Seattle

#1 Post by fiveoneohray »

Hello!

I am a fresh 360 van owner as of last night!

I need a bunch of parts as this van was picked over here and there for whatever reason and it has had a very hard life!

Hopefully with all your help I can find what I need and get it back on the road then onto restoration!


Thanks, Ray

Ray - Welcome to The Club.

I have quite a lot of van parts, if you e-mail me I can e-mail you
the lists.

Been driving my 360 van 38 years this month, still drive it every day.

Hey Jamie...

Thanks for helping me get on here!


I have only had this thing at my shop a few hours and your name has come up probably ten times...sheesh.

Its at my shop in Woodinville so feel free to swing by and take a look.

I would like to see what an assembled one looks like as you never pay attention to details until everything is apart!

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"? :lol: Took me a minute....

Welcome to the club. I'm from Sumner and own a sedan. Get your van running by this summer and you can join Jamie, me and hopefully a bunch of other 360 owners on a ferry ride.

Hey, Ed, what are you doing for your 38th anniversary? :wink:

Hi Ray, and welcome to the Club from downunder!

First step.... stop calling her "this thing" and give the poor liddle girl a name! <which reminds me, I haven't named my old gal yet!!> :oops: :shock: :cry:
