68 fastback complete overhaul
Hey everyone, I'm doing a complete resto job on my 68 fastback. Im done all the metal work, and now starting my TCI front suspension. I'm sure I'll have a ton of question in the future, and if anyone's got a question please feel free to drop in and drop me a line. Peace out dudes......

No there wasn't. Up here in Canada, these cars don't hold up well through the seasons and years. Super rare car to find up here too.
