Wow, nice to know that there are places were shops still work on Fiats.

I really miss that. There are sometimes when it is nice to be able to have someone else do these sorts of things.

Looks like you got some goodies, too.
 
Another day down, three to go.

Really nice car. Saw it at FFO and was very envious. My wife would love to have one that color.

You've done some really great work on it and made good choices. Thanks for bringing it.
