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.
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! 👍🏻
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.

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!

Great idea! That's a 1500 engine lid, do the same to a lower 1300 one?

I was lucky to find one with very little rust!
Looks great! Definitely on my long list of things still to do
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! 👊
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.
welk kenteken had je? toevallig een x1/9 uit 1980
@@romanvanderweerd1824 Helaas weet ik niet meer het kenteken van mijn X 1/9. Ik denk in 1979. Een mooie blauwe auto.
A labour of love, no doubt. So much work! Thanks
Wizard work there! Those fly screen doors sure are handy, eh!
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.

Clever guy. Nice car
Brilliant mod!
Brilliant
Trop top moi je vais faire pareil sur la mienne😍😍j adore
I would have just purchased a high efficiency aluminium radiator from Vick Auto and called it a day!
Cooling problem solved 😉
It's got that too! This video was more of a fun project
@@RevTek Totally understand!
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 👌
