You say you gave him 5000K and your Delorean,and he just parks it outside all these years,without even starting it once in a while,well i hope you got a reciept,from him for the work to be done,as right now,if the car has been sitting untouched for three years,its gonna NEED,the fuel system totally redone,not to mention the master cylinder,and possible interior work(cracked dash/barnicle/bleached faded interior ect)tires might have dry rotted/cracked, brake rotors are solidly rusted(need to be turned)just pray your frame did not rustout while sitting,if it was parked in a dirt yard,chances are you GOT some frame rust in those three years of being parked.Your battery is of course SHOT by now,just hope no windows were left open/or your car had a leak problem,as the mold and mildew,would be like a mini jungle in there,in effect what you own now(assuming all the above)is a parts car or a total Delorean restoration project car.Usually in the fine print,they state they are not responsible,for your car while it is waiting for the repairs,that is if you signed a repair order,your best bet is to see a lawyer,as NO repair shop,expecially one that claims to be the"best" DMC shop around should treat a customer,as badly as you have been treated,there is no excuse,that they can come up with,to counterclaim,the misuse of your money and your Delorean.In fact I think he should keep your Delorean,and in turn just GIVE you a PJ grady "rebuilt" Delorean,and just pay him for the orignal repairs,that were supposed to have been done.Let us know of the end results. dmclassicar Bruno To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
