[ MODERATOR"S NOTE: I'm probably stepping on toes as well but I think the hurt car has received enough attention and the posts are begining to sound repetative so I'm killing the thread.] I know I'll probably step on few toes here, but give me a chance. The purpose of the "At what point does a DeLorean become Salvage" thread wasn't just about when is it more profitable to destroy a car by parting it out rather then spending time & more money on the car to turn a profit by resoring it. This car in particular is another example of a car that is a good canidate for a restoration. Although I would place this car at the level of MUCH more advanced level of repair work. Quick run thru: Anywhere from light to heavy chassis repair, moderate to heavy fibreglass repair, and heavy repair to complete replacement of the rear quarter panel, plus a replacement of the passenger side tail lens to make the car road worthy again. Of course on top of this you would need cosmetic items such as a new facia, louvers, engine cover, etc... But I'm just pointing out the basics to get the car going. This care requires more love then it does money to fix. Remember, you can earn and obtain cash, but you can't earn or obtain love. On a more personal note that may upset some, although I meant no offence by it; STOP TRYING TO JUNK EVERY DELOREAN THAT NEEDS MAJOR WORK!!!! The whole point was not about money, but which car is right for a person, not just their wallet alone. If your opinion is that a particular car should be parted out (especially one in this good a condition), then more then likely this is not a car for you. The car has not sold. This is not because no one wants the car, it's just that someone who does hasn't come to take the car home yet. If you see a car that you don't want or can't use, why not just pass it along to someone who does? -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, Dad <dsontos@xxxx> wrote: > This car was posted here last summer I believe, unless someone wants a > parts car its worthless. > > Dave Sontos > VIN 02573
