[DMCForum] Re: old member new owner

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd start off with a custom box enclosure, 4 pro series JBL speakers 
to replace the stock, get a gps/MP3/DVD player for the stock unit, 
and add midrange tweeters near the headliners. And also make sure to 
install a wired line to run it off the wall, cause for 6k and the 
problems listed, you won't be moving it for some time.


Seriously, with just the issues you mentioned, put the stereo out of 
your mind for like 2 years minimum, think fuel system, drivetrain, 
brake & clutch hydraulics, interior, bodywork, frame, cooling 
system, etc. just to start.

Unless you have some money to invest, you may want to hold off 
unless you are mechanically savvy, and don't mind a bit of work. For 
the condition you mentioned, 3k might be a stretch. I sold a dead on 
mint 81 with a blown head gasket last year for just under 14k with 
less than 3,000 miles on the car.

Don't sour the taste of the Delorean by letting this be your first 
taste.

Just a FYI.
