I would like to know if anyone has a passenger side unit that they are about to trash and the elbow is still intact. If so, please contact me.

I bought a car with what I felt was a perfect interior and exterior (minus one tiny nick). In any case the car had 7500 miles. But was all original. I have updated just about every electrical component with Zilla units, a Delco alternator and so on. I also updated other components such as the fuel pump, window motors, and more. I paid 16,000 for my car which I thought was a great deal. It was recently appraised by a Classic Car appraiser at 25,000 for my insurance. Buying a car with a perfect interior and exterior for a good price, and then having to update it, is well worth the investment. I look at it this way. It would cost me far more to buy a car with a sun damaged interior or in need of body work. Those parts will far exceed any cost needed to mechanically update an "original" car. Gary Gore Activities Director DeLorean Mid Atlantic VIN 3360 << I have seen several "original" cars for sale. I am speaking with someone now who says that all he's replaced on the car has been the tires and he's the second owner. My question is what updates would definitely need to be done to an "original" car? Relays, hoses, alternator? What else? And approximately how much would it cost to do all these updates assuming I could do them myself? If I can get a car with a perfect exterior and interior, but no updates, how much should I pay? $12,000? $13,000?
