Walt, You said, concerning door problems: >"So if you are shopping for a DeLorean that is to be put to any real use, I would steer clear of these early VINs."< I don't completely agree. The majority of early door problems are all related to the lack of door striker guides. Installation of the guides to the early vin's will eliminate most of the door latching and or jamming problems.
