Hello Xweb!
Back in October my X1/9 was broken into and had it's ignition busted (they attempted to hotwire it) and they left it in the middle of a road. So I've been unable to start the car and see if transmission or anything else is messed up. Anyways, the car is now getting the repairs it needs and we're looking to do some other goodies to the car while it's under the knife.
One of those things being a Fiat Tempra digital dash swap. I picked up this part off eBay a couple years ago but havent done anything with it until now. The seller mentioned that folks have swapped these into X1/9's in the past but they never got around to it. They specified that it'll obviously take some electrical work and cutting of the dash but I think the digital 80's vibe would look super rad in the X1/9 once it's back on the roads. I've included a picture of the full dash but the part I've received is outlined in red since the other half of the dash is irrelevant to the X from my understanding.
Has anyone here done this swap or seen this in person? Any tips?
