yeah the body is a lil rough but it is all fixable. coil packs are from a Grand national. keeps them from roasting on top of the motor

I'm not so sure that moving the coil packs next to the turbo is going to keep them any cooler than they would have been on the passenger side of the engine bay. Might want to rethink that. Other than that, it looks like you have a good start on a cool project car

EDIT: LOL oops clicked on the wrong button boostfab I meant to hit the reply button

the coilpacks are much better off where they are then on top of the spark plugs...the guy i bought the car off of had problems with the coil packs cracking so he relocated them to where they currently are.

just remove the center valve cover bezel, let it cool by the air.
