[Moderator Note: The following is the opinion of author. It is possible to live comfortably without some of these updates, and I expect this list to generate a storm of comments about specific items. Thank you for posting it, David Teitelbaum.] Here is a list of some of the "known" things to do 3 recalls (if not already done) tankzilla,lockzilla,fanzilla trailing arm bolts ducey alternater (if equiped) any coolant leaks plastic header bottle loose connections in fuse block cooling fan and circ fan breakers origional radiater w/ plastic tanks hydraulic line for clutch old brake fluid-old anti-freeze angle drive for speedo and lube lowe cable old door struts deteriorated rubber fuel system parts muffler bracket on right rear if automatic-shift computer bead sealer for spare tire emergency release cables for hood and engine cover tail light circuit boards clean all ground connections Some items are just age related but most are specific to the Delorean. These are among the most common things that I would consider necessary to make the Delorean a RELIABLE and safe daily driver. Many of the items can be done by most owners so it is just the cost of the parts but others can be expensive if you have to get professional labor to do them. This is also assuming that the car is in "reasonable" running shape and doesn't need a lot of cosmetic work such as headliners, binnacle. seats, rugs, etc. Some owners may disagree with some items but these are all problem areas that have shown themselves over time. Sometimes the low mileage cars need the most work because the problems never came to light so it never received any upgrades! The Delorean is no more troublesome than any other 20+ year old car that you would want to turn into a daily driver, mileage is not everything, time also works against you.
