RE: [DML] Bodywork

["Josh Haldeman" <jhaldeman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Tony,

 

Have no fear!  As Dave Bauerle once reassured me, any DeLorean can be
brought back from the dead and look brand new, because they are so well
made.  

 

Ask that the insurance carrier allow Rob to do the work on your car, and you
should be fine.  Despite rumors that the left front fender isn't available
anymore, and if you find one it'll cost you $5000, I've personally never
been able to sell even one for anywhere near that price.  Not sure about the
other vendors but that's my experience.

 

Good luck with the repairs and hang in there!  Check out this site for what
can be done to a DeLorean that has been wrecked:

I just got into an accident with my DeLorean!
Nobody was hurt. The other driver turned left into me while I was only going
like 25mph.. Its all cosmetic but it caused damage to the whole freakin'
side of the car. Drivers side front fascia & fender, door and rear fender.
Unbelievable. She got a ticket for failure to yield so its clearly her
fault.
I bought the car from Rob Grady like 8 years ago and its been perfect ever
since. I'm dying inside.

Any advice as to how to go about repairing/replacing would be greatly
appreciated.
