[DML] Rust under T Panel

["jmlaux83" <jmlaux83@xxxxxxxxx>]

Over the past few months I have been going over my delorean and 
checking everything since it has been sitting since 1997. Today I 
removed my T-panel to find that the weatherprood tape over the wire 
harness has rotted, however the seal was still intact so I figured 
that no moisture got in. I decided to check under the seal anyways 
just in case. When I opened it up the entire lid on the inside had 
rust on it. I reached inside the hole and felt that both the top and 
the bottom had rust on the inside as well. I will eventually have to 
replace this which looks like an involved job. The facility in Texas 
would probably be able to do this, right?


This picture shows the wiring harness. I was in the middle of 
scraping away the residue the old tape had left. To the left is the 
lid covering the hole. I don't think that it is the right lid thats 
probably why water got in there to begin with. And to the right is a 
bit of a Delorean joke ;)

Here you can see a blurry picture of inside the wiring harness hole. 
There is a lot of rust!

If I put on the pics wrong sorry, it is the first time putting on 
pics.
