'85 and '83
I've finally gotten around to writing a detailed history of the two year long restoration/rebuild of a 1983 X1/9 I recently finished.
I offer this as small repayment to the many Xwebforums members who were always willing to share their expertise, wisdom and encouragement without which, I doubt I would have completed this daunting project.
Special thanks to Karl Mead for his assistance in getting this post organized. The post contains many pictures - too many for me to want to go through the process of trying to upload one at a time. Instead, here is a PDF version that you can download and read at your convenience:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3359580/Ed Taylor X1:9/Ed Taylor How I came to buy an X1-9 s.pdf
Lastly, as a "teaser", below are some photos of the completed car.
Thanks again to all who helped. I hope you enjoy the story!
