Thanks Erik! >Tough choice. Both have their ups and both have their downs. I >guess it depends on how much work you were planning on doing before >you even saw these deloreans. Were you thinking you might want to do >a frame off? or more cosmetic and mechanical (not structural). Do >you plan on having a daily driver or a show car at some point? Actually I'm trying to avoid a full frame-off restauration. That's why a good frame is so important for me. The car won't be a daily driver nor a full show car. Of course, it has to look nice when finished but I want to drive the car regularly (at least from may->november).(On weekends etc..) >If you were planning on buying a delorean, working on it a bit and >driving it as much as possible, pass on both these cars and keep >looking. > its expensive to work on these cars in the states. i can't >imagine what it would be like to work on them in Germany unless you >have a great local source for parts. Actually you can get every part that you need here in Germany. For nearly the same price that you pay in the states. If there is any part not available I could get it easily from the states (if its not too big/heavy...) >I hope for the best in your decision. Please keep us updated. What do you think of the frame from 10792? Domyou think it's ok? Right now I'm seriously thinking about buying that car because the interior is not such a big problem for me...
