What did you do to your X1/9 today ?

MBW used to have the front lid in fiberglass but not now. They are available in Europe but shipping of such a bulky item is prohibitive. I fabricated a rear one-piece lid in aluminium, replacing both engine cover and rear trunk cover. 4.5 kg (10 lb) instead of 16 kg (35 lb) for both lids. Can I do the same in front?

Looks real good.

This actually happened yesterday, but I decided to fix it ASAP. Just to prove putting a K20 in an X doesn't make it less of a Fiat.

The heater hose tore and popped off the pipe heading into the center tunnel. All better now.
