Thought I would say hello, picked up a 1500 X1/9 last week and have been enjoying it since.
My name is Tony I live down in Brentwood Essex and am a certified car nut!! Currently the Fiat has joined a
Triumph Spitfire
MGB GT
Jaguar XJ8
Defender 90
Lotus Elise
I have always worked in the car trade mainly with new cars, but I also buy maintain and sell my own cars, although I would love this to be my full time job, as most on here probably know, the cars you love and want are very really the ones to make money from!!!
I have a few jobs to do but not much, really nice red car.
Only problems I have had so far, is a cold start issue but replacing the very old battery seems to have rectified this, a faulty electric window switch that I am currently trying to find a replacment for and after refitting the door cards I am finding the internal door handles surround tricky to replace.
So any help with those would be appreciated.
And yes I will add some pictures just need to get some done tomorrow

Thanks Pete,
Yes I have always been into my cars, only downside is to keep up with my desire to try so many different ones I very rarely get to keep them very long.
I will be giving the Fiat a good clean today so will get some pictures taken.

Thanks Peter, I am really pleased with how its come out. The seats make a big difference it had the greeny grey seats and door cards originally and the drivers side had a massive rip so these are 100% better.
