I just bought a 1970 FastBack and I intend on restoring it. I was wondering if anyone can give me a source for fastback parts near San Diego California? I am going to need to buy a lot of stuff. The pan is rotted between the front passenger seat and the rear seat. So I will need a replacement pan. I am going to remove the seats and carpeting and see what else is completely rusted out. The exterior body has minimal rust, so that will be easy. I will want to reupholster the seats. The engine has some oil leaks and some electrical problems, but it ran well enough to get me home from where I bought it eight miles away. The clutch and tranny seem pretty tight. The dashboard is totally rotted, it needs to be replaced. My wife gasped and asked why I was parking a junk car in her driveway. All in all, I think I got a pretty good deal for $700.00. If anyone has any suggestions or knowledge about restoring a fastback, please don't hesitate to post.
