Modded callys don't seem to be selling at the moment, and you would get more by breaking it.

Me i would keep it and store it some place nice and dry :)

How would you feel if you sold it, then saw someone else driving around every few days, then months later they haven't taken care of it and it ends up looking a right mess?

All the time, effort, money that we put into 'modding' our cars, we'll never get back. We know that right from when we start doing it. We do it because we want something different, something to stand out from everything else. It also can gain respect and a reputation from our peers for what we do.

As Robbie says modded Cally's aren't selling that well, so you'd be selling at a loss from the start, and if you break it, you have to find what parts people will want, take them off etc. Then what do you do with an immobile shell?? :violence-chainsaw:

If it were me, I'd lay it up for this year, then hopefully things will improve for next.

You have one of the best Calibra's in the club Steve, don't let someone else come along and take credit for it.

Cheers MarkV6 that means a lot to me thanks,

iv toyed with the idear of trailering it to Billing this year but i built it to drive and as most of you know iv never been scared to drive it the way it should be driven lol, its just very hard looking at it and not getting it out to play, a good friend has told me i can store it with him but it will be out side at the mo its in a nice warm dry garage, but i see it every day,

Well steve my car is at least 2 years behind yours and is under a sheet untill i get some money to spend on her so even longer, its not costing me anything and and id get nothing much if i sold it. To be honest my car is not in the same league as yours but the idea of parting with her has never entered my head its MY CALIBRA so DONT DO IT its too good to loose!
