New owner of a 1980 FI 2000

Post by pda041376 »

Just popping in to announce myself.

2.5 weeks ago I became the new owner of a 1980 (January 80 by the build tag) fuel injected, lord blue, 2000.
I am planning on restoring it to its former glory and hope to gain insight from here along the way (and maybe even pass a bit on myself).

P.D. Allen

Will do. I do know of one on Craigslist that is right up the road from me, but definitely not a parts car. Scratch that a dealer bought it and is trying to flip it...

Did find an X1/9 a stone's throw away from me though. :D

Did see a few around Tenn/Alabama border areas ( if you consider Huntsville border :wink: )
Depending on what you need as far as parts. Various states of parting out from what I have seen, but 200 bucks for a (most of) body doesn't seem too bad. Think there was one for 400 that had the engine also...

Love me some Craigslist.

i try to scour Craigslist as often as possible but it wears me out. i wish you could do a nationwide search instead of region to region to region. it gives me carpal tunnel syndrome! :evil:
