    Polish it, have the original stickers remade and installed and definately keep all those buttah smooth welds looking like the day they were made.

    Nah, the powervalved T3 with a lil porting and more compression is plenty trick. The Cal-Fab would bring a good dollar now but later in life it'll bring more.

    Keep it and run it if you have it. I don't like having parts sit on the shelf.

    I'd even skip the polishing job. Clean it, hit it with some mothers and install.

    So Tekawte, when you going to post up some pics of your 86 and it's new Cal-Fab?

    I really need to but i haven't even touched the 86 yet.. just spending time rounding up what parts i need or can find. I'm in the process of cleaning up the garage now so i can hit it hard over the winter.. Hopefully be done by trikefest 08'.. I haven't been to one yet but t3-lopes and tecat-z tell me it's a blast!! And i don't have the CAL-FAB yet, I just paid for it today.....

    I am one for selling it as well, especially at the price it pulled. But then I say that as I am holding on to a westcoast for a 200x I dont even own.

    Selling is not an option for me. I didn't buy it to try to make a killing on it by selling it. Maybe in the future i will but i'm keepin it and puttin it to use..
