box interior

Hi all, A few words to let you know that Wesco offers seatbelts that fit really well on our Xs. My car's original ones were sun-faded, the plastic parts covering the buckles were cracked and the reeling mechanisms weren't functionning properly anymore. The new ones do not have electrical...

just wondering how to tell if these will fit my seats. I got replacement seats from Matt a couple of years ago i’ve been using. My X is a ‘78 and I thought ‘79 on were different, but then recently I saw an ad saying ‘79 to’81 would fit my car as well, so I don’t truly know what year my seats...

I am thinking about attempting to build door cards for Gary’s ‘86. I will use the old cards as a template for the holes and cut outs. They look pretty straight forward. I am wanting to use a material like nylon or something that will not break at the door card clips. Something that will last...

The 83 is now in my garage and both seats (black leather) are majorly stuck. Has already had the PB blaster treatment to no effect. I'm all for a full destruct mode removal since I have no plans for the seats but Ed wants them if they can be safely removed. Is it possible to remove the bottom...

Thinking about raising my passenger seat height 1" or 2". My wife is about 5'2" and the seat belt comes across her neck. Could I just take the seat out, buy longer bolts and raise rails with washers or possibly with wood? My car is an 1988.

I just wanted to post an update about the X1/9 seat upholstery I bought from Vick's late last summer. I never get things done fast, but I get to it eventually. I did a test fit on a seat last summer, but set the project aside until I got the car painted this June. Here are some pictures of the...

I know you guys like pictures, so I have a lot of them. This is a long story - Back in November I blew the head gasket in my 84 X. The car was missing the shields that cover the accessory belts and back of the engine; as such I would never drive it in the rain. I decided to take the car to...

The seats in our 1976 X were a little beaten up so we had to choose between upgrading or refinishing. Ultimately we choose to look for Honda S2000 seats. Depending on the quality these seats can fetch a pretty penny so we tried to be as budget concious as possible and picked up a used pair for...

Hello my friends, I have lurked around this forum for a while soaking up all of the amazing and helpful knowledge you all have to offer, but I have finally found a problem that needed a forum post! I am new to the x1/9 universe, only recently learned how to drive stick (and only yesterday I...

Pedal box plumbing done, hoses attached, next step is to fill up the cylinders and persuade as much air that was in the hoses, tubing and cylinders out replacing air with fluid. Two 60cc syringes are use to fill the pedal box system with DOT 4 brake fluid and a test fitting with a brake fluid...

The new sunvisors from Henk are nice, but a little thick. While trying to install mine, I realized that they were so thick that they would not fold up tightly against the headliner like the old thin ones because the hinges are too short to allow them to compress against the windshield frame and...

I am not a stereophile...just looking to install a modestly priced system into the car without butchering the doors and door cards. I wanted to mount speakers in the kick panel areas of the car, but as you know, on the late model cars the frunk release handle lives in that space on the...

I promised some pictures yesterday of the recent install I had done. MCOR Automotive http://www.mcorautomotive.com/ did these, and did a superb job. So what was done? a Kenwood KVT-516 head unit was installed. This has a 7" touchscreen display that comes out with a Z-motorized...
