I'm a recent lurker, and have enjoyed the posts and photos, and finally figured out how to post a thread and photos.
I bought a nice gold X in 2013 (from Thomas). It came with bumper blocks only; I like the look. The original bumpers were hauled home separately. Recently I built a better storage place for them, after adding 120V LED bulbs.
More on the X: After blowing the head gasket in December, restoration began in January. Midwest-124 performed head rebuild, carb rebuild with carb cooling restoration, timing belt and cover, custom exhaust, right front caliper, brake hoses, clutch hoses, misc. Great job by Jon and help. Photo by Midwest-124 Facebook in January. The performance improvement was startling.
Feb work by D&R in Columbus to replace front air dam, repair fender connectors and refinish them. Nice work by Matt and help.
March upholstery work by REX Upholstery in Lima (Since 1931, 3rd generation) Seats, rear deck, spare cover, and emergency brake cover. Nice soft leather. Beautiful work by Mike and help. Their first Fiat! Missy commented on stitching she had never seen before. She matched perfectly.

It's nice to be near MWB. They have been really great taking the time to answer questions, explain how things work and are put together. From them: front wheel bearings, a refinished black top, new badge, new spare tire with refinished wheel, misc. bolts screws, etc.
Looking forward to the next 4,000 miles. And upcoming car shows.
