The artical also list a Club For Fiat 8V in Cambria,CA with a tele (805)927-5802. Perohaps one of the experts in this Club may have came across some Fiat Ghia parts in the past.

Looking forward to your finished restoration...

Nice wheel! The other one is also pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the build begin on this car. I don't want to get your ire up, and I don't doubt your ability, but you're 7 pages into the build thread without any improvement to the car. Still, your parts hunting is impressive.

The rust on the Ghia is daunting, but the journey of a million miles begins with the first few steps. Even if it's just an hour with the wire wheel on the angle grinder, the journey has begun. Getting the car into the work space and putting it up on jack stands ain't nothin.

Such thoughts are easier to take from a good friend or family member while enjoying a beer, rather than from some dude from the Internet, but I hope you're more motivated than offended : ) I envy everyone who has a workspace and a spare couple of hours per week. Right now I have neither, but I'm keeping my 124 BC Coupe for when I do. I'm really looking forward to reviving its build thread in early summer.

Take pics and post often.

Well currently I am limited on space till the weather clears up enough to get the spider out than I can start working. I have been trying to acquire 90 % of the parts before I begin my journey. I think I have hit that point . this last week, but now I have a uncertain job future . so I need t limit how much I take on at a time. thank you for the encouraging words. believe me when I tell you I would love to have this car on the road.

Hi guys,

I spent 10 years to rebuild mine.
After 62000 kms driving this car, I still have the same joy of driving.
So do not loose!
