Greg,
When you replace the alternator you should also replace the battery. If the
battery has had several complete discharges it will not perform well when
under stress.
To test if the door lights are causing your current leak pull fuse # 12 and
see if the problem goes away.

Your door and body problems could become much more complex if not handled
properly. Be absolutely sure that whoever works on your doors knows exactly
what they are doing.

The following short list of problems has arisen
Alternator completely failed and the battery has depleted several times. 
It doesn't look that old and is being worled on as I type
There is a current leak - I think the door lights on the left door are not
going off when the door closes.
The alignment of the doors and their closing is not good. This will take
some work and I expect difficulty finding a local body shop who can deal
with this problem
There has been warping around the front windshield which will require some
form of rebuild

All in all, these are only minor problems which I am sure can be solved
with suitable application of MONEY.

I am delighted to have joined the Delorean Fraternity. I plan to attend
the Delorean Owners Assoc Octoberfest In St Loius in combination with a
trip to my Alumini (The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio) where I trained
in 1995-1996. I look forward to meeting some of you in October in St
Louis.

I looki forward to talking with some of you soon and gas-bagging about
Delorean stories and tricks-of-the-trade.

Regards

Greg #4162
