            Lol, thanks fellas. The body is clean, no rust, everything seems to work. Just a leak in the spark plug tubes and a roughish idle. Seems like it has potential though! : )

                They are in the trunk, I think previous owner took them off when installing HID's. I am going to put them back on tomorrow : )

                    what exactly does a spark plug tube leak?

                    car looks a little beat up:) but if it works than thats good.

                      Car is not beat up at all. Not a single dent. Body is about perfect. Its the valve cover center pieces, oil seeps down in to the hole for the spark plug.

                          by beat up I just meant the front seems a little... beat up, the bumper and valance are kind of wavy looking.

                              I think the rattlecan job makes it look a lot worse than it actually is...
