RE: [DML] Should I or Shouldn't I??

["Marc A. Levy" <malevy@xxxx>]

This seems to be a popular subject lately.. I wish some of the big aftermarket auto part companies were on the list to see how much money they are loosing by not making "junk" for our cars. :)

There is a lot of information in the back issues on different modificationsfor safety, reliability, performance, and looks. There is of course a infinite number of things that can be done (with more time and money) in addition to all that has been discussed already.

However, if your looking for opinions there will be no shortage of them here! So- My opinion is that if your current delorean is as "mint" as you say, leave it alone. If you want to do heavy modifications on a DeLorean (especially paint it!) please find another car that is in need of work anyway,possibly one that is already painted. While I personally do not own a "stock" DeLorean, it is something to be appreciated and not destroyed (painted) when there are alternatives.... and there are plenty of DeLoreans out there waiting to be "rescued".

Hi All, 
I am new to this group, but i am an avid(rabid??) Delorean fan. I 
purchased an 81 #2801 in August 2001. After some work at PJ Gradys, 
shes now a daily driver and a great compliment to my SLK 320. I have 
some questions regarding modifications. I love the way the car looks, 
but i saw a pic of one in Black that looks wild.
