I have to ask, what is your level of experience in working on cars? I do all my own work, but will it really cost $7,000.00 for a water pump and hoses, a fuel pump kit, brake rotors, replace tie rod ends, and repair speedometer? I am still learning the De Lorean so I really don't know. I did a ground-up restoration on an old Trans Am and spent about that much but it needed a lot more work than what you describe. How did you come up with the dollar figure you have?

My concern everyone is the amount of money I have available for repairs. I would be looking at spending about $6000-$7000. I want him to give me an realistic estimate and then just fix what is essential to have a car that can be driven about 2 days a week. I have another driver, having this car completely perfected is not my goal. I wanted to ask him to install a new water pump with all the clamps and hoses (1WPCKIT), a new fuel pump kit (111085G), 2 new brake rotors (111095G) , fix my tie rods on my steering, fix my spedometer, and install/"tighten up" my cooling system (111417G). My transmission has been completely rebuilt, my engine seems to be in good running and working order, the body is great, the interior is fine, my doors work just fine, wheels are fine, tires only have 400 miles. I do NOT need a complete restoration; I just want to fix the areas that I'm sure need some work. I don't even know to be honest if I need ALL that I've listed earlier, but hey, while the car is apart might as well hit as much as possible. Would Houston be a better alternative for that much work? I can only afford about $7000 for repairs; does anyone have any experience with Houston? Could they do THAT much work for $7000? I know what most of you want to say "Well, call them up yourself and ask!"..I am going to do that, but while I wait this weekend thought I might as well ask. Is it realistic to have all of those compnents replaced for around $7000, or am I just dreaming? To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: DMCForum-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _____ Yahoo!
