Re: [DMCForum] Re: a project De Lorean...



Oh my God.

This reaffirms my suspicion that you are all crazy bastards.  Looking at
the pics of this car made me want to crawl into a corner and die. 
Brought back a lot of memories of the early days of 1537.  Ya know, I
wonder who lets the cars get into such horrible condition.  It's
interesting how some D's are cared for and, even with high miles, still
looks relatively good.

The parts that I worry about on this car is the "customized" things, like
the headlight switch, shifter boot.  It makes me think there are other
"things" that you will find later (and be horrified about).  Also, the
broken gauges are going to suck to fix/replace.  The oil leaking engine
is a mess.

The paint!  what a horrible job!  but this is GOOD for the poerson that
wants to take it off.  It looks like it wasn't put on right, so it should
come off without too much trouble... It's even flaking off to the
stainless in places.

Also on the upshot, the frame does not look like it is in that bad
condition.. I've seen much worse.

good luck greg!
