Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In an effort to provide better cooling to the engine bay, whilst also having the option to protect it from rain when required, I came up with this nifty little modification

Looks like a lot of work but well worth it. No more over heating problems. Nice job! I have a 1982 X1/9. I may have a go at it on my engine lid!
Looks great! Definitely on my long list of things still to do
I also had an X1/9 for years. A fantastic car. Lovely with an open roof. Too bad I no longer have a car because of my age, 87. Greetings from Holland.
I was about to ask where on earth you found such a nice example of an X1/9, but then I started to watch the whole series... Now I know the answer... Nicely done! 👍🏻

I was lucky to find one with very little rust!
A labour of love, no doubt. So much work! Thanks
Wizard work there! Those fly screen doors sure are handy, eh!
Clever guy. Nice car
Brilliant mod!

Clever design. I wonder if a central locking solenoid would have the power to operate the slider ? Potentially controlled by the fan thermostat with an override and delay for when parking for let the hot air escape.
Great idea! That's a 1500 engine lid, do the same to a lower 1300 one?
Trop top moi je vais faire pareil sur la mienne😍😍j adore
Very Nice Work!! How much do you charge to do one for me?

This would be a fun DIY project, go on, give it a go! 👊
What are those wheels omg!
Hmm. Now you need to motorise the vent mechanism in the lid. How hard could that be? Is that a 1300 with a 1500 lid btw? Kinda works.

Motorized with a rain sensor would be a fun project, but more weight and complexity. For the Australian market there were quite a few 1979/1980 X1/9's, such as this example, that delivered with the Series 2 body and the 1300 engine.
I would have just purchased a high efficiency aluminium radiator from Vick Auto and called it a day! Cooling problem solved 😉

Threadlocker was enough with the bolts

It likely would have been, however I wanted the option to remove the tray if needed so threadlocked studs with nuts seems to work well
My x1- 9 is the only one I ever see on the rode or anywhere where I live. Classic fiat period for that matter. Sad.

If that's your x1/9 in your profile picture at least you got a great example to show off 👌
