4984 hits the road at last

["funkstuf" <funkstuf@xxxx>]

Vin 4984 was placed back on the highway today!!
It has been off the road for several years.
I purchased this auto in April and have been working on it or having 
it worked on for 7 months. I won't even enumerate everything that 
was done, but.. Nearly everything. Mechanically everything was 
placed back as original, except the anti-freeze over flow tank. We 
built a custom tank from an exhaust pipe.
Today, I drove it about 70 miles on the highway and freeway and in 
city. The engine ran flawlessly. 
Handled nice, but with 24,000 miles and 22 years on them, I still 
plan on replacing the NCTs. In addition, I plan on lowering the 
front end.
I've selected Cooper Cobras from various advice for my tire 
replacement. 
It has been suggested to me that I have my rims sandblasted and 
powder coated.. How does the powder coating compare to re-machining 
and polishing?

Thanks to all of you who gave me various pieces of advice over the 
last seven months. You were all right.
Finally, I can say that I love my Delorean...... Yes, I do!
