WantAnX1/9
Stuck in gear, leaking fluids, fire in progress...
Much easier to get a later X with the 1500 and convert to early style bumpers than to convert an early car to 5-speed and 1500. A popular bumper mod is to modify the 75-78 bumpers to single rail. Very easy to do with simple hand tools

I think you are right, but the angle iron look isn't doing anything for me.
The factory bumperettes just look so "right" to me.
I may have to just bite the bullet and get a Series 1 1300cc car w/ the 4 speed...but those are very rare cars.
