A lift off what? Hood? A steel one? I don't think so.

A lift off hood is really race/show only, numb nuts.

Matt is the engine still out of the car? The front springs look like they want to launch the car into orbit.
I have to admit, the clean and wax job makes it look better, but the color you chose doesn't really make the car "pop" if you know what I mean? I would also fix the dents ASAP so that rust doesn't form beneath the cracked paint (ie. fix dents, scrub away cracked paint and at least primer it to protect the metal).
Having said all that I think you're doing a good job of learning as you go.
Now lets work on spelling, grammar and all those rediculous threads you start.
EDIT: Since we're throwing around opinions already, I think you need to put the spoiler back on the car. A power bulge hood would look good for the 84, and be correct for a TA, but to finish off the back end and give it a racy look, you need the spoiler.

I like the no spoiler look, I got a free spoiler from paul, but I didnt think it would look good on my car and gave it to jewboy.
Yeah my car has a motor in it, no heads top end though.. and it does look like jewboys car, except i think my is higher or at least looked that way because the positions they where in my driveway.
o yeah it has a full enterior again, just not installed lol
