Fiat 131: Test of Patience

Dante Dagostini spent ten years building his Fiat 131 by hand in a small Utah garage. What began as a rusted shell became a carefully crafted homage to the original Abarth homologation cars that defined rally in the late 1970s. Every weld, stitch, and turn of a wrench reflects his patience and respect for the analog era of motorsport. In a world of quick builds and instant gratification, his work stands as a quiet reminder that time and persistence can still shape something meaningful.
