Should I keep it, or sell it?

I bought a 85 GSL-SE the other day, it runs great (but the 5th and 6th ports need cleaning). i like the car but, i think i'd rather have the 12a better. (well to be honest, I have more good running 12a engines and lots of extra parts, I dont have much of anything for the 13b)
It's in fair condition. I need to put a front fender, and a nose piece on the front and need to be painted. (it's brown). Insides look pretty good,(seats have small tears, but needs cleaning. It also needs tires, power steering pump, and some other little odds n ends. do you all think its worth fixing or should i sell it or maybe part it out??? I really bought it to put the engine in my 87 se thats in great shape. so let me know what you think I should do!

thanxs...

fix it there aren't many left out there... many prefer the 12a for racing purposes. I don't personally know anyone that runs an se in races.

I'm building my se up right now, would love to have another but not many up here in upstate ny.

If you do decide to sell keep me in mind, I'm interested.

You gotta fallow your gut. If you keep it and are not happy with it you are gonna hate it, but if you keep it and bring it back to good, then you may develop a great bond with a wonderful car.

Becides FBs are way cool any way

Good luck with waht ever you decide
