Maybe June...
Just brought the engine back to life last week after a long slumber in my dad's barn. Swapped out the clapped out mismatched struts for newish KYBs and euro springs the week before. New 175/60-13 on my CD-16 OE on the '83 I bought new in '85. Spiffed up the brake hangers, new rotors pads clips etc... Taking a step back and rebuilding all four calipers off my '86 donor located outside Charleston ,SC sometime next week. Will try to rebuild both axles this weekend. All but one piece of pipe is on it's way for new exhaust... Will post photos when I sort out the fabrication. My dad has a stash of Xs we have accumulated over the years so I got a passenger seat that looks like I plucked it out of a car while shopping for my first in May of '81! Was able to put a drivers seat together from three others. Stripped bumpers and making new nurf style replacements modifying the grill to go with new covers. If all goes as planned I will be driving these awesome roads here in WNC where I now call home some time early June. Body not that great, the cars that is, mines OK... can't complain! :grin: Mike, my daughter is a rising Jr at Winthrop so I would not be too surprised if my X1/9 made an appearance or more around Rock Hill! Sorry so long and probably belongs in what did you do thread but I would rather inform about another X jumping back on the road.
