The Green Machine Ep.36 — Electronic Ignition, Firewall Insulation & Mirrors | Fiat X1/9 Restoration

Continuing the restoration of a classic Fiat X1/9, this episode focuses on installing firewall insulation and upgrading various engine bay components. The work involves removing the engine cover and grille, replacing the points ignition system with an electronic one, and carefully fitting new firewall insulation sourced from Italy—a task requiring custom modifications to accommodate the air ducting and existing brackets. The video also covers reassembling and installing reproduction mirror components that were sent out for chroming, plus reinstalling the engine lid and reconnecting all fuel and heater hoses before tackling wheel rebalancing at a service station.
