Working on a Delorean

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxx>]

Over the weekend, I went and helped Walter Coe with one of his 
Deloreans. He said I should write up an email about my experience and I 
figure why not.

As a non owner who is saving up, I had a wonderful time helping Walter 
swap out the steering column brushing and replace the steering shaft 
with a newer one. One thing I enjoy about the Delorean community is how 
helpful it is. The ability for a non-owner to help rebuild and fix 
problems on a car so things can be learned before getting one is very 
useful in my opinion. I'd much rather work with someone and help them on 
their car and learn things before I get one and end up causing problems. 
Walter took pictures for documentation and a write up. I am unsure where 
he plans on putting the write up at though.

I did find it interesting that it doesnt take many tools to take the car 
apart. Couple of wrenches, a screwdriver, bit of spray for the rusty 
areas and you can take most of the car apart. Now I just have to try to 
keep myself from buying a project car but aim for my original $16k mark 
as I dont have any place to do a project car.
