Fret not, John, It's tough when you want something soooo bad. The ironic thing is, your 'bad news' will miraculously change over time into 'the best thing that could have happened' for you. It's hard to believe (right now), but life is funny that way. As badly as I wanted it, and as convenient as it was, I passed up my first D, then went home to sulk about it. What an emotional roller coaster ride purchasing a D can be. The doors were 'floppy' and he used a wooden stick to hold them up. "It just needs a torsion bar adjustment," he told me. "Anybody can do it- it's real easy." I knew even less than I know now about D's, but the wooden sticks made me wonder, if it's so easy. . . The engine sounded rough too, although when I took it for a test drive, I was in heaven! What a rush! But we walked away, biding our time until the EXACT right DeLorean for us came up. And it did. -And it was actually better than hoped for. Money, patience, time, and perseverance will pay off, and you'll someday be laughing at how emotional you were about that 'other' car. -Even when they offer to throw in the sticks for free! :) Oliver Holler vin 10694 Re: Restorable or Parts Car? > > Well I got some bad news this morning.
