The engine is pretty oldschool. Ugly but powerful
Body work is great

For now.
Just for the paint job.
Putting it back on though it does give more power and without it I would need an air intake

Thanks it looks much better in reality then on the pics, just because the rest of the car is still rusty and not restored yet.
