Hi all,
I’m brand new here, as I’m considering dipping my toes into X1/9 ownership.
I’ve been looking at classifieds of vehicles available locally, and one specific vehicle is currently drawing my attention. It’s clearly a bit of a Frankenstein, but it’s fairly cheap and seems to fit my usage requirements.
Apart from having the engine swopped for a 4A-GZE (Sacrilege?), it has the dashboard from a ‘90s Opel Astra. I’ve wondered why anyone would do such a thing, and I suspect it may have been a LHD to RHD conversion that necessitated a new dashboard.
What’s currently puzzling me is the rear end. I’ve looked at a lot of pictures online, and have never seen these lights on a X1/9, so I guess they may also have been transplanted. Can anyone identify what they might be?
