I agree with Marc -- people buy things at flea markets and sell them on 
eBay. Does that make them crooks? What about my buddy who bought a set 
of speakers off of a guy because they sounded like crap, had them 
rebuilt for $75, and then sold them for $2000 the pair? I don't think he 
was a crook.

If you bought a LH fender NOS you could end up paying a lot anyhow; I'm 
not sure what Houston charges for them but I'm sure it's plenty. 
Scarcity and demand drive prices up -- one of the basics of economics.

All things considered, $3500 for a complete set of SS panels and 
undamaged fibreglass, plus other parts that could be restored, might be 
a good deal for you if you had a totalled car that needed a lot of such 
things replaced. I know that if I had any such thing terrible happen to 
my D I'd be SOL for a long time trying to get SS panel for what they 
tend to cost. For someone in dire straits, it could be a bargain. Water 
doesn't kill EVERYthing. Hell, I've even resurrected old tube radios 
that have been immersed in water.

(Personally, though, it looks to me as if the car has not only been 
immersed in water, but gutted. I wouldn't be surprised to find parts 
missing.)

Of course, it all depends on how much money you have available to you. 
It sucks not to have money to burn, but the good thing is there are 
resources out there and people willing to help. One bad apple, 
fortunately, doesn't spoil the whole bunch, in the DeLorean community.

End of rant. Coffee time. :)
