X1/9 2ND time around

Introduction

Greetings to all. 2nd time Xer here in New Hamburg, Ontario. Just bought my 2nd X after kicking myself in the behind for selling the first one(both 79's). The new one is rust free and everything works fine except for the brake master and rear calipers, but I already have the parts to repair it. Drove it 20 miles home and worked fine except for poor braking.(front brakes only) I should have it on the road in a couple of days. I'm lovin it!!
Cracking looking X Rusty! I have a soft spot for early Gold 1500's - My first one was the same year and colour :) And I love those steel 131 wheels on X1/9's ........ North America seemed to have alot of cars fitted with them but they were only ever available on Mirafiori's in the UK..... Love it
 
Thanx for the kind words !! I'm really stoked about playing with the X. I'm used to fiddling with american stuff, like the 51 ford in the last while(with a 440 in it, heh,heh). I'm looking forward to putting this one on the road again. It's been tucked away for about ten years. Cheers all.
