A few may vaguely remember me, I've sort of lurked on the old forums a while back, making a few posts. Probably most notably trying to figure out what to do when my old 1300 engine died.
Well I'm pleased to say that the 1300 was resurrected, rebuilt and running as of a few years back, but unfortunately I started suffering from major chronic fatigue not long after. After much complaining and feeling like a hypochondriac for a couple years it eventually turned out to be a type of blood cancer (multiple myeloma), which was only picked up after the cancer was in a very advanced state. Fortunately after much chemo and a stem cell transplant, I'm in remission. Here's hoping it holds, cause at thirty I'm not ready to give in yet.
Anyhow, the poor little X1/9 has been sitting garaged since then, battery is well and truly dead and it needs some serious TLC, I'm hoping to get back into tinkering with it soon and get it back on the road now that I'm getting my energy back.
Unfortunately I've long forgotten my old Xweb login, couldn't see a way to retrieve it via my email address, maybe I missed something I don't know.
It's good to be back, the X1/9 bug is biting hard and with a little luck I'll have her back on the road in a month or three. Just need to fix the ignition system, and kill and oil leak from the gear box.

Paul Goddard.
