As a "newbie" you will find it a lot easier to buy your parts from a Delorean vender. You can be sure that the parts you get will fit without modifacation. You also have the years of experience available to you at the cost of a phone call. It is hard enough to work on a "D" when you aren't familiar with it but then to get a part that fits but won't work correctly and you don't know any better only causes frustration. Many crossover parts aren't exactly correct and when you talk to a Delorean vender they may tell you you are replacing the wrong part to fix the problem! The may try to sell you more than you think you need but believe me when they tell you you need something YOU NEED IT! Your initial order should also include an oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, Workshop manual and Parts manual, and whatever else you can afford. Go over the relays and circuit breakers, fix all leaks, and bulletproof the cooling system. IMHO you should make it reliable before you go for the cosmetics. If it won't run it doesn't matter if it looks good! I hope your A/C conversion works out but past experience shows that there will be future problems. When changing the accumulater DON'T BEND OR KINK THE FUEL LINES!!!!!!!
