Some more stories for you regarding sitting Deloreans and the surprises they 
bring.

Mine was all the usual stuff.. sat for a long time, very beautiful looking 
car, all original.
The most odd thing I found was that both fuel lines at collected 
condensation around two rubber spacers that sit in front of and behind the 
gear shift.. When I started the car after replacing all the fuel system.. 
the car was leaking gas out the bottom.. I found out the condensation had 
corroded through the gas line at the rubber spacer.. fixed the front one, 
started it again, and after a short bit it started leaking again.. the back 
one had also corroded through.. That's the kind of thing that happens when a 
car sits.. always a new surprise.. everyone kept telling me NO WAY, when I 
told them where it was leaking they had me checking my connections.. I 
suggest everybody watch closely where the two rubber guides sit.  I can say 
that I had every thing on this list and then some. Still... the car is 
becoming a very NICe car at this point with LOW  miles on it. so..... buy 
one, and get prepared to spend a little (or a lot) of money and enjoy it.  
They're well worth it. Once you get them out on the road you're hooked.
