This will damage the suspension bushings. If your tires are older, you may just want to leave the car on the ground and replace your tires when you reactivate the car. Don't forget to keep at least comprehensive insurance coverage on the car while it is in storage. That will protect your car if the building collapses around it.

I may buy a D that has a badly chipped front facia. The rest of the car looks great. Is this a project a novice can do or is this something a professional paint shop should do? Should they have Delorean experience or can any reputable body shop handle it. How about fixing slight eyebrows? Approx total cost?? . mike c [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 12:45:10 -0400 From: "Walter" <Whalt@xxxxxxx> Subject: Looking for Jessie, legendary DMC mechanic In the mid 1980s there was a full time DeLorean specialty mechanic in the East Lake area of Tampa, FL. He always had at least a half dozen DeLoreans parked at this shop when he was in business. If anyone knows anything about this guy (even his last name) let me know. I would like to find this guy. He is heavy set, over 6' tall with red hair and answers to the name Jessie.

I have sucessfully removed my body from the frame. The job took about 6 hours in total, and I am now somewhat happier than I was 6 hours ago. Iwould like to say a big thanks to all those who gave me advice on how to do it, Dave swingle, Nick (sorry don't know your full name) and Paul Winsor at Wingray Autos, There were many more and thanks to you to. I will load up some photo's in the file so you can see the process.

Hello everyone, Since replacing the inner door seals on my car I've noticed the Driversside door doesn't close the way it is supposed to. Now before anyone starts blaming the seal; if I remove it I still have the same problem, so the seal has nothing to do with it. I just didn't notice before because of the previous seals being worn and causing the door to require more closing force. My problem is that the door seems to be warped; the "roof" seems to be twisted (not visible), cuasing the "side" to come down too far rearward. When closing the door the rear doorguide hits the body around the strikerpin, unless I push the door forward while pulling it closed. If I don't do so the front latch doesn't engage fully, so I get alot of wind-noise AND I get a wet left knee when driving through rain: the door leaks. As you can see on www.vdwouw.demon.nl/strikerpin.jpg there are some white markings where the SS has scuffed the GRP (?). Does anyone have even the faintest idea on how to solve this??? Pleas let me know; this is not only annoying, but it can't be good for the car either... Thanks in advance, JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac... Living the Dream...

I had it lowered earlier this year (springs cut all around), but it was just too much for daily driving. So I took it down to have stock rear springs, PJ Grady lowering front springs, and the new PJ Grady shocks installed. There was a bit of a mixup as to when I needed the parts and when I needed to get back up to the Bay Area. To make a long story short, I showed up to take the car and the parts weren't put in yet. (That's a long story, but in the end it was simply a case of poor communication on everyone's part). Don and his amazing team were able to take out the springs and shocks and install the new springs and shocks and have me on the road in an hour and a half. The ride back was great. It wasn't really until today when I went back to work that I got to drive the roads that I drive every day. It's not really until you drive on familiar roads that you see the difference that the PJ Grady performance suspension setup makes. It's such an amazing ride. It's like a brand new car. I highly recommend the Grady parts. -Christian ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 11 Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 20:23:20 +0200 From: "Cameron Putsch" <putsch.1@xxxxxxx> Subject: people and air intake All people that want to see pics of the performance intake please send me an e-mail saying "please send pics of intake" and your name and E-mail address! :) Sorry to make you all do this again but I am having a hard time keeping track of you since some of you don't give me your return address.

I drove around Mountain View today looking for a place to get my car smogged. I stopped into the Arco gas and garage at the corner of Shoreline and Middlefield. The guy there asked if I had heard that they do work on DeLoreans. I was expecting that this was the prelude to "because we don't", but it turns out that they have worked on quite a few DeLoreans. The guy's name at the shop is Dale. He has the DeLorean manuals and knows Ed at DeLorean One (he gets parts from him). They had one DeLorean at the shop for over 2 years. Dale said that the owner didn't use it as a primary car and it just sort of sat around as a "whenever you have time" kind of project. If you're in the Bay Area and have been looking for a mechanic, you might want to call this guy. I'll be taking my car there the next time something comes up that I can't handle. Hopefully that won't be anytime soon. -Christian ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 13 Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 11:12:46 -0400 From: "DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Re: strange idle Robert, Here is the information I have for Volvo to DeLorean Idle Speed Motors (Regulator) compatibility Volvo 1979-1981 260 & 264 GLE Volvo 1982-1987 760 GLE The 740 is equipped with a non-PRV four cylinder engine, the 79-81 260 is a perfect match sharing the same Bosch CIS fuel injection with the DeLorean. I have first hand knowledge on this subject because I previously owned an 80 260 and now own a 89 760 in addition to my 260k mi. DeLorean.

The 760 uses a different type of motor. The 740 will not be easy to get to, as the ISM is located under the intake manifold. Don't even bother looking at the 260 for a match. It uses an entirely different type of regulator to control the idle with isn't compatable either. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, Delorean17@xxxx wrote: > Hi, > Ever since I have purchase my car it has had a small idle problem. > Sometimes it acts like the microswitch isn't engaging and will idle around > 1300 Rpm's or so [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Your use of Yahoo!
