Advice please - almost given up on my 245 after LPG install

Classicswede installed an LPG system for me in my Volvo 245 almost a couple of years ago now, and the car has maybe only driven a couple of hundred miles since then. It's been off the road for something like 99% of this time, and I'm close to giving up.

So what do I do? I'm based in Southern Ireland, and have had yet another mechanic telling me that the car isn't worth putting more money into.
Pre-install the car was running well (I'd spend £800 with ClassicSwede before paying him to install the LPG system). Now (when it'll even get going) it stalls, runs sluggishly, seems to (according to the last mechanic I took it to) have problems with the fuel injection system. Basically it's f****d.

I feel like I have 4 options here.

1 - sell the car for next to nothing and move on.

2 - replace the engine with a reconditioned one and forget about the LPG
3 - have a different LPG system installed over here
4 - Somehow get the car back to Anglesey and have Dai remove the LPG system, restoring the car to how it was before

I'm SICK of it at this point. The car has been ruined, and I want to keep it, but really need help in making the right decision from here.

Here's my past thread on this :
