The latest aquisition.  A 1980 FIAT X1/9.  It has a 1.5 liter motor and 5 speed transaxle.

The gold paint is a bit faded in places and the car has a small bit of bubble rust on the passenger door.  But it's actually in pretty nice condition, for the most part.  I'm in the process of locating parts to get it operational again.  Principal among these is that the transmission is out of the car and apparently busted.  So, I'm looking at trying to rebuild or replace the transmission.  I'd rather do the latter if I can find a decent used 5 spd in working condition.

It also needs a side marker light and rear tail lamp.  Other than that, it mostly needs TLC and a good going through to sort everything out and get is roadworthy again.  The plan is to fix it and sell it.

The brick is just there for safety.  The handbrake actually works, but since there is no tranny in to help hold it in place and I park my MINI behind it, I figure it can't hurt to have a back-up.  Note the nice cromadora wheels.  The aluminium has surface oxidation.  The need to be cleaned and sealed.

Even the spare is a cromadora!

Interior shot.  Interior is Brown and white.  Believe it or not, the colors (interior and exterior) all appear to be original to this car.  The different material / color on the bolsters for the uppers is typical of the X1/9.
