look at the wiring, to see if the harness was cut and spliced at all, check the mounts make sure they are not cracked, and check the comp to see if that was spliced with the wiring as well

Also, how does it drive? Vibrations? Shakes? Wierd noises?

does it drive?
does it smoke?
do the gears grind?
does the car shake when it drives?
does it shake standing still?
are the axle boots intact?
is the wiring harness modified neatly or is it a hacked up mess?
is the oil black or brown?
does the engine overheat?
what color is the coolant?
does it throw any check engine lights?
does it bog or stutter at any rpm while driving?
does it start right up?
does it have even compression numbers across the board?
does it leak oil or any other fluids?
these are all good things to check before buying any car...
