Subject: Re: Window kaput (me too)
John,
Cable repairs of the original window regulator, are for the most part, not
recommended.
Although I have seen some success, I don't recommend this procedure unless
you don't mind removing and replacing the regulator several times.
Although
the heavy duty replacements may seem pricey, they not only perform better
than the originals they also have an extremely low failure rate.

I'm looking for a DeLorean to restore. Low budget; lotsa time.
Doesn't matter what condition as long as the body's not badly damaged.
Send me a line.

Subject: Re: Concours discussion
James,
I know that you could probably spend an unbelievable amount of money, but
generally speaking, how much would it cost for one done for a concours as
opposed to a "refurbished" one at $29,500- same? more? way more?

My after market stereo only raises the antenna when the radio is on, It
could be how your stereo is connected. You might look at it to see if
there is an automatic antenna wire that wasn't connected

Subject: Delorean First time on TNN's "Car and Driver"
Last month I was fortunate enough to use my Delorean with the crew of the
RTM Productions for a shoot for "Car and Driver" for TNN.
Just been informed that the segment on the Delorean will be shown Saturday
November 11th @ 2:00 AM and again on Sunday November 12th @ 1:00 PM.
To all the list and Delorean owners everywhere, I sincerely hope I did not
embarrass the car nor all Delorean owners. You will be seeing it, as I
shall, for the first time and memory of what I said and did is a little
foggy until my mind is refreshed.
The Production crew seemed impressed and very elicited about the car and I
hope the 20th anniversary of the car will reflect what all of us Delorean
owners know... that it is a wonderful car that performs as it was meant to
do .....still doing well all this time (20 years and still going strong).

Subject: Looking for 5957 owner
I recently purchased an owner's manual in its pouch and in it was
included a new car invoice for someone's DeLorean purchased in
Hartford, Connecticut. The purchased car was vin #5957. If anyone
knows of this car's owner please let me know. It would be nice to
reunite this piece with the original car. By the way, the cash price
on April 26, 1982 was $24,772. Thanks, Fil.

Subject: James Espey
A few weeks ago my sister was able to make a side trip on her visit
to Houston to the DeLorean Motor Company. She was able to meet James
who recommended a great T-shirt and small resin DeLorean model for
me. She was quite impressed with the Houston operation and James
himself. I just wanted to thank him for his hospitality during my
sister's visit to his business! Without this list and people like
James I would never have taken the chance on buying my D over two
years ago. It's been a great ride!
Fil Vigil.

So the show will be televised this weekend, *during* the DOA Expo in
Vegas?
That is an amazing coincidence. As I recall, in the same week as last
year's
DOA Expo in Saint Louis, "The Car is the Star" premiered its edition
featuring
the DeLorean.
I hope everyone who is going to Vegas has a great time. Patti and I were
supposed to be boarding an airplane this afternoon, but sadly no one was
willing to teach my classes for me this weekend. I have heard a lot of
great
things about Las Vegas. Please post to the DML about how much fun you
have.

Subject: Mystery Noise...
Hi folks,
It is usual for some sounds to emerge from #10188--heck all these cars
are 18-19yrs old! My car is a daily driver with higher mileage(probably
100k+).
But I heard a noise last night I had never heard. I sounded like a thud
from the left front. I was turning into a parking lot at about 10mph, with
the wheels about 3/4 of the way. I did some experiments: only happen when
I
turn left, faster or slower--no noise, steering seems to behave normally.
I
am planning on looking at the steering box and under the front end.(It was
dark when this happened last night).Sound is definently coming from left
front part of car. Steering box maybe? Maybe left wheel assembly?
I know I need new front shocks, but it seems to happen only at this
speed.
Steering box seemed tight last time I looked(~2k miles ago). Can anyone
help? Can any one steer(pun) me in the right direction? THanks.
