Nice looking 86,very well kept.I want to ask? what is that cable next to the hood release?as far as for my opinion.
I would leave it exactly what it is,ORIGINAL.

the original owner had a security system put in when he bought it in 86. theres a key slot under my dash that when i put the key in it a pin pushes into a latch in the hood so noone can open the hood. theres also a big speaker up near the firewall and a motion sensor type thing behind the radiator that i think is all apart of the security
