Great write-up, Ozzie - thanks for sharing it with the community. One thing that's "Not Illustrated" on the parts manual page, and missing from lots of early cars is the "Noise Isolator", which fits under the console and kind of "snaps" into the cutout in the underbody to prevent ingress of noise and heat/cold. It's in the part listing as #42 - http://store.delorean.com/p-8649-noise-isolator-mt.aspx Did your car, #2109, have one of these?
