<> >So what I want to know is that if my car is a June 1981 build like it says on the VIN plate, how could the car have been built on April 29, if it wasn't supposed to be built until 2 months later? < <Mike wrote> The car wasn't built in April, the door was built in April. With a new assembly line, it is not difficult to fathom that a door could be assembled and then left sitting around for 8 weeks waiting for a car to hang it on >> Mike, I don't think you understand what I am trying to explain here....What I am trying to understand here is that the door could have possibly been made on April 29, 1981 i honestly don't know all I know about the door is that they door itself has a magic marker date which was May 31, 1981, but how could they adjust the door locks when the door wasn't installed on the car yet? How would they possibly know what the setting would be until it is actually on the car to test out the rod adjustments? The paper I found in the door has a pen marking in blue on the photocopy showing that they did the door lock adjustment for my car on April 29, 1981, which doesn't make sense because the car wasn't built until June 1981. Could this be another DeLorean Motor Company mystery to go along with the rest? Any ideas? Thanks, Nick VIN#1852
