I agree 100 %. I rescued my Delorean from Maryland 2 and 1/2 years ago. It has given me great joy in rebuilding her little by little. I just felt it wasn't her time to go. the frame and engine were perfect. All stainless was good except for passenger front fender and passenger door. Don't let yours die. I am sure you can revive her. It might take some money but she is a piece of history. That is just my opinion. I guess first you have to assess her damage but my heart goes out to you.
