It's too bad that you had the motivation to go this far with your project, put in all that hard work and not want to drive it. I think that the next owner will be very fortunate with all that has so far been accomplished. I hope your Fiat will eventually feel the love to be driven.

Thank you. Me too. We'll see what the future holds for her.

Don't give up the ship. We probably have all gone through a tough spot or two with our cars. As long as it's not your daily driver and can be a hobby of sorts, then enjoy the tinkering, repairing and so forth. They really are remarkably reliable once sorted out. Remember when/where you started an look at how far you have come. IMO they are never really complete, there is always one more thing to do. Heck I know I have rust in my sills, the rear pinion leaks, I could use a complete front suspension rebuild, and I don't even want to think about the paint.....but I peck away at the things I have time and funds for and otherwise drive the car. Keep the faith
