That way not only do you not have to use the title, as there are some banks that shy away from cars that old, but you also can park it in your garage until you save up enough money for insurance.

The first production DeLoreans were built in December 1980. That would be quite a trick to build a car before it was designed. BTW, I am not a "guy".

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I would never take my Delorean to this place to get some major service done to it. But i figured fixing the parking brake isnt a major deal. I have decided never to go there. I talked with them about Deloreans and they would pretty much rather slam there head in a metal door then to touch a Delorean. The place is Alan Christian Motors in Holland Michigan.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit If you don't have a lot of money, but have a stady income and have extra money set aside for unexpected break downs, then see if someone will cosign on a loan with you. My dad co-signed on my auto loan for the Delorean. We got an $8000 with ease! Interest is a little more than a normal auto loan, but its definatley worth it!! Owning a Delorean is what I've always dreamed of.

I talked to James Espey at DMC about it and he said he had the exact same thing happen with his car, and the problem is that the brake pads are flopping around (I believe that's what it was), and that he installed brake pad springs and his car hasn't had the problem since. Can anyone please tell me the procedure for doing this? Is it something that can be done by the average guy (when it comes to knowledge of automotive mechanics), or does it require a professional? The brakes work fine, which is the most important thing, of course. However, it is very annoying to be squeaking as I drive down the street. A quick search of the archives revealed the same question asked in '97 (issue 293), but no response was given there or in the following issues. Thanks, Ryan McCaffrey VIN 10014 AZ lisc.

These two examples support James Espy's theory that many cars were shipped from the factory without ANY antenna and had the antenna installed later at a QAC or the dealer.

To introduce me: I`m 26, living in Germany, near Stuttgart. Two months ago, I bougt my baby, VIN 10284, grey, 5speed. Needs many repairs. My question: Does anyone have knowledge in repairing body parts (glass fiber reinforced plastic; is it called GRP?) The a-pillar is badly cracked and so is the bottom of the passengers side. Someone did some repairs before, but it does not look very well, so I want to redo it really good. My problem: glass fiber mats are easily available everywhere, but the two-compound-polyester "glue" which is intended for repairs on "normal" cars does not seem to stick very well on the black GRP (?) material. I tried it. - Does anyone know EXACTLY what sort of plastic was used for the body? - Does anyone know what kind of "glue" sticks best to that material? Funny: The VIN is 10284 but my frame has got the number 10281 written on. Last question for today: Does anyone know of a company called FRANK GATTO & ASSOCIATES in Miami, FL ? They were pre-pre-pre...owners of the car. I would like to know something about the history of my car... Greetings from sunny Germany...
