Got me a Fiat X1/9 for £0 on the condition I get it back on the road! Plenty of tinworm/electrical faultfinding to keep me busy but would be nice to have an end result pic in my head to keep me going. Will post pics/retro rides ride thread when I get my camera back from that no good bro of mine.
In the meantime please help motivate me...

Great cars - I've owned 3. This was my most recent one.......

Currently driving a '68 Karmann Ghia as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Photos of mine on their way, promise!
I thought it was a great car to drive. It hadn't moved out the guys garage in 4 years yet it drove back perfectly....
apart from when the front badge flew off and cracked the windscreen...
or when the alternator began to lose interest giving me the choice between headlights or wipers!

Its got its own post in the readers ride section now!
1st Priority is to get the thing running well and MOT'd (You can see from the pics this isnt going to be a weekend job!)
Would love to do an engine swap but there is plenty to soak up my time and money before engine swappery, besides its mid engined so I want to get used to driving it before making it scary fast.

Down at a garage that I use to help out at had one of these come in. It needed to be rebuilt from the ground up but the owner had done a massive engine swap. Correct me if I'm wrong but they had a 1.5 engine well this guy wasn't satisfied, some how he managed to squeeze a 2.7 honda V6 from some Rover not sure which.
He had huge brembo brakes on it which were deffinatly needed. I only got to drive it around the car park of the industrial site but it could seriously shift even though it was running like a bag of nails.
Sadly I think he got behind with his payments and Id imagine that the body will of been scrapped and the good parts sold off.
don't see too many around here anymore. I look forward to seeing how yours turns out.
