Question:
Fiat X19 is an early 80's model I think. Designed by Pinifarina. Mid engined 2 seater. The one I found has advanced body cancer and probably a seized engine. Has not been running for past 4 years. Where do I source for parts? What shold I look for when rebuilding this car?

What could i buy to make my car go faster?
my dad owns one and its in good running order, even though its frequently having problems with engine startup and gearbox..well, what i suggest is get a professional fiat mechanic which may help getting the engine running, but i see it pretty impossible to replace engine. as u know engine compartment is very small and compact and there is not much room. getting another engine might require using the luggage boot space as well, so u have to remove the divider between the engine bay and luggage boot space, not mentioning gearbox and everything else.
otherwise if ure lucky enough to get an x1\9 engine, that would be fine. as i said get a fiat mechanic.
regarding body work, parts arent so difficult to find. make sure the yr of your x1\9 as there are several minor changes (in body) between x1\9s of diferent yrs.

btw x19 where designed by bertone.
good luck with your project, i cannot say its an easy job. but its worth some effort as there arent heaps of x19s left in good condition, and its an eyecatching sporty drive.
good luck
