Welcome! Looks like a good start.

So an early Bertone car based on the engine cover and passenger side mirror and the chrome trim or a late Fiat car (1982)? Or was the side mirror an add on to a 1980 Fiat branded one? The ‘iron cross’ wheels were sold on some special edition X’s near the end of the Fiat run, I have always liked them on the X.

There is are a couple of good threads in the Best of XWeb folder in the Workshop Forum, it may seem overwhelming but you eat an elephant a bite at a time.

We have all started with little knowledge at some point and most everyone here can offer good suggestions to help you resolve a problem so please ask, we do not mind answering the same question we have answered a hundred times here. We will do our best as a community to help you so always ask before jumping in as we have seen just about every possible problem these cars have over the years this forum and its members have been gathered.


Is the fan disconnected on the radiator or the thermostatic switch as I see a wire hanging down in front or is that something else? Scratch that, it looks like a chain up to the towing eye. I see some customized seating materials with the dark piping around the outside edges of the seams.

So welcome and it would be great to get some more pics as we love pics, they are easy to upload.

Also could you add some details about the car in your signature? It helps us to know the year, fuel injected, five speed and any major modifications which have been done so we can do a better job of helping you without first asking twenty questions.

Thanks and all the best in your quest to bring this car back onto the road!

It’s a fuel injected 83 Bertone although the previous owner replaced all of the bertone badges with fiat ones. As far as the front goes it was a chain from the trailer so nothing hanging down there. To my knowledge it’s a mostly stock car with the modifications being an aftermarket stereo and steering wheel along with the bumpers being removed. As I have time I will definitely add more pictures! For now a few quick interior shots.

Nice mines a 85, still working on it since last year. Waiting for the weather to warm so I can start again. The interior looks in good shape.
 
Looks like a good interior. Just needs a good cleaning. Odd about changing the badges out that is what made the later X19 unique

You know, I kind of get that badge changing. I always knew the car as a FIAT and am seriously thinking of changing the front hood to FIAT. I have a badge from an old 72 spyder, made of metal. It much nicer than the plastic Bertone badges.

I agree. The badges on my 1974 were much better made and I kept them when I sold the car. They are now on my 1980 car. They were in metal with a painted center.
