For those of you who went to Cleveland and met me, you know that I didn't have my Delorean their :( Poor 4512 was minus an engine and transmission due to oil leakage and overall neglect by the previous owner. I posted pictures a while back to the vault with pics of my engine coming out and what it looked like. I just uploaded more pics of what my engine and tranny look like now. http://www.egroups.com/files/dmcnews/Engine+Removal/ Make sure you look at the old pictures first to jog your memory of what it looked like, then look at the new pics. All I have to say is: Thank you Micah Fryman and Marty Miers for the great work so far! I'm glad to hear that my car has become a Guinee Pig for you both :) (my dad told me the story about cadmium plating the throttle spring) Erik Geerdink 4512-still haven't driven my car this year :(
