Fiat X1/9 K20 walk around

[@alastairwatson3201]

You’ve successfully trodden the fine line between a tasteful and innovative restomod, resulting in an amazing car. Sometimes the former suffers for the latter but, in this case, you’ve nailed it.

[@tonyantonuccio4748]

You did a GREAT job. I love the updating to more modern power as I recall my '75 X1/9 being woefully underpowered. Fiat should bring this beauty back with a slightly larger size and 250 HP.

[@johnhalek9664]

What a great job I had a 78 and a 81 and just loved them the 81 I still say was my most reliable car ever .

Looks like a clean swap

[@lancia037rally]

I loooove those wheels!! nice job!!

[@magnoooz]

Sweet ride!!

[@AlbertManiscalco]

nicely executed

[@hootowl6354]

I had a X1/9. Super fun car, if you were going downhill. 😂 "They light up the road super nicely." In other words, they are bright as hell, blind oncoming drivers, and should be illegal (if they aren't already). 😂

[@zurn41]

Very nice.

[@annhanntz275]

Bayless does a great job

[@johnholman8904]

I agree... But they did not build this car. It is an owner built, home built, car.

[@johncullotta304]

What size tires did you put on there?

[@johnholman8904]

185-60R 13

[@johncullotta304]

How far down did you lower the car?

[@johnholman8904]

I don't know exactly. It is on coilovers from Vicks, and i set them as low as they would go and i liked the stance. I think it is about 2" in the rear and 2.5" in the front.

[@sumpatrix]

Where did you get the bumper ?

[@johnholman8904]

The bumpers both front and back are from a '67 or '68 Camaro, narrowed to fit.

[@conorsmyth9963]

Are you selling it?

[@johnholman8904]

Yes, I put it up for auction on bringing a trailer. bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-fiat-x1-9-12/

[@TrashLefties]

Wind up windows?

[@jtterror2714]

if you put ferrari badging on it, at least make it look legit. other than that, good build.

[@johnholman8904]

Thanks for the compliment,
