Default HELP - Shes eating batteries

Just picked up a '88 gt - Ate the last battery and I wasn't sure if it was new or not so I Threw a new battery in her and she ate this one too.

Starter=New - Battery=New - Alternator=New- Relay tested and correct

Where do I go from here? itwas semi intermittent, but today she just died and wouldn't start even with a jump? Acts like a normal dead battery when the lights are left on - trys to roll over but just not enough oomph to crank the motor.

Any Ideas what to check next? Coil Maybe?

Welcome to MFs.. from everything you've changed, my only next clue would be to start tracing wires, you're grounded outsomewhere... (bare wire rubbing the frame) good luck!
