Waitin' On Parts...
Observations
1. That's a lotta miles for an $8,800 car!
2. eBay pics are notorious for low quality, but that does look like a nice paint job
3. Interior re-do tries to stay faithful to the original lines and colors but there are subtle differences (stitching on the dashboard?) and not so subtle like the lack of cloth on the seat flanks
4. If Michealangelo had an X1/9, that's what his undercar/chassis would look like:eyepop:
5. Speaking of undercar, stainless steel replacement cooling pipes or aluminized muffler pipes? And where'd the rest of the splash guards go....they ain't on the car.
6. Back inside, hey somebody shove that stereo into its mount. And just the rear speakers, no fronts?
7. Where's the jack?
8. I don't know if I'd put window screening over the side pods like that....doesn't look like much thought was used before someone molested the car with a dozen new screwholes. Strip magnets and black nylon screening would be my first choice and could it have killed them to trim the screening?
9. This is the only later model X that I've seen where the "duckbilling" on the rear bumper filler strip is worse than the front. In fact you hardly ever see the duckbilling on the rear panel, right?
10. Wheels have a nice, acceptable finish but nowhere near the bling-level of the car's paintwork. And is that a camera distortion or does the right rear wheel have a huge flatspot at 2-3 o'clock?
11. Why is the right side wiper wiping the cowl?
12. The metal ledge under the scuttle grilles is supposed to be blacked out, they left it body color, kinde sticks out like a sore thumb. And they painted the hood latch red, really?
13. They oughta put the wiper electrical harness back into the frunk where it belongs, not good to leave it exposed to water in the scuttle!
14. Targa top gets no respect, lots of rusty hardware showing!
15. That's a lotta miles for an $8,800 car!
