Recent X1/9s

Nick has been working with X1/9 projects for over two decades as there is the constant demand for X1/9s to be restored, modified and generally fettled. With over twenty years experience, P1X 2000 has proved to its customers that X1/9s can be reliable, comfortable and sensational to drive.  Here are some of the cars that have been completed in recent years:

A Modified 1500

The lower half of this car was taken back to bare metal and rust was cut out where necessary.  The bumpers were also removed and all the remaining holes were welded and filled too ready for a partial re-spray.  P1X installed the engine which had been rebuilt with modified components.  A modified air box was constructed to house the twin throttle bodies.

A Gran Finale Mini-Restoration

This car was in remarkably good condition for its ages and had covered very little mileage.  The owner wanted all of the rust removed which was starting to appear in the usual Gran Finale places.  A good wax-oil completed the job to aid many more years of rust free motoring.

A Full Gran Finale Restoration

Although a reliable car, the body of this Gran Finale was beginning to show it's age.  The rust was cut out and new steel welded in areas including the roll over bar, nose cone, front wings and rear wheel arches. Following on from this, hours of rubbing down the bodywork was the key to this beautiful mica blue paint job.

Lancia 2.0 Twin-Cam Conversion

This has been a long term project and major work has been carried out.  Along with the installation of a 2.0 engine from a Lancia Beta, this X1/9 has received a full body restoration, including the desirable P1X front end conversion.  A central tunnel has been constructed to strengthen the floor-pan, as well as reinforced sills, so the car is able to cope with the extra power.  The car is now back on the road being used by one happy owner!

A 1300 Bumper Conversion

This X1/9 was an early 1500 model in very good condition.  The owner wanted to achieve the 1300 look on it so we removed the 1500 bumpers and began modifying the bodywork.  We were able to obtain a fiberglass front spoiler to compliment the early design.  We can supply these items.

An Early 1500 Model

Following the request of the customer, the mechanical components of this car were worked right through to achieve a fun and reliable form of transport.  The tired engine and box were replaced with low mileage replacements, broken components were rectified, electrical faults were sorted and after minor welding, the car received a full MOT. A replacement interior, a set of spot lights and a sports exhaust were the final stages in complimenting the car.

A Near-Immaculate Early 1500 Model

A delight to work on, this car came to our workshop for servicing and a clutch master cylinder.  As requested, we checked the car right through and were pleased to inform the new owner that this X1/9 was one of the best we had ever worked on.  Following some routine brake work and general servicing / tuning, this car became a delight to drive.

A Modified 1500

This car was re-sprayed by Nick in Ferrari Red, over 10 years ago and the paint still looks brand new today.  The recent owner has opted for a P1X front end conversion, complete with 1300 bumpers.  As the vehicle had been standing for years, a total brake overhaul was required along with a re-con gear box and other items. Complete with a modified exhaust system, filter and coil-over suspension, this car is awesome on the road and attracts attention wherever it goes.  The pictures speak for themselves.
