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.

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 :)
