Was the suspension on the right front free to travel or was the shock frozen?

The frame/Car was Only Less than Two Years old ..that Pic was taken in 1982 or 
83..in a Nutshell(most likely) THE First Private(non-business) Disassembly of a 
Delorean. In other words This was revelatory NEW METAL...If DMC started to 
produce cars in March 1981..when this picture was taken that Frame at the Oldest 
was LESS that 24 Months old...OFF the factory floor.

So this frame WAS NOT aged in any way(at the time the picture was taken)
