Have you ever worked in a business that manufactures products?  Cause
people
that have never worked in manufacturing seem to expect something to work
100% directly off the line. If you look at how the company was just
starting
they put out a great product.  It takes time to get all the bugs worked
out
of a product, and a car is probably one of the worst.

It *IS* amazing that all of us keep these little piece of shit cars. I
mean
really, they're the most aweful little machines when it comes down to it.
No
matter how much people try to say DeLoreans are good cars... they were
lemons to start with. My parents bought a '02 Expedition in January, and
they're already selling it now because it has little electrical glitches
and
stuff. During the first couple years of DeLorean ownership it's a struggle
to even keep the cars RUNNING. I guess that's why I didn't shed alligator
tears when I lost mine... it was a sort of love/hate relationship when it
comes right down to it. Yet here I am... already pining after another
DeLorean before I've even gotten my insurance money for the first one lol.
I
guess all this means is that all of us are seriously delusional, yet very
dedicated people. :-)

Monday evening I'll be having my DeLorean towed to a shop to have the
crumple tube ass'y welded up.

We commence work Tuesday a.m. I'm guessing that removing the fuel
tank would be smart since welding is in the vicinity. Is there
anything else that should be removed? This is an attempt at repair,
not replacement.

I don't pretend to be a structural mechanic. To me, the damage is
severe. An experienced welder/fabricator may look at it and say "It's
not so bad". I hope that's what happens because if I'm right and it
is that bad, I'll be out of action for quite a while to save up for a
replacement.

I must really like this car. I get aggravated but I haven't thought
in depth about giving up. I would have unloaded any other car that
gave me this many problems a long time ago.
