BRAVO JAMES ESPEY!!!!! Your comments are well thought out, worded and well accepted by the DeLorean community who don't want to "mickey mouse" their car. Every day there is a note from someone pee'd because the previous owner didn't get the correct part from a recognized vendor or screwed up a repair and now, the new owner has a sour taste in his (her) mouth about our vehicle marque. Yes, some parts are expensive. Face facts. This is an unusual car. We owners are a little unusual to own a DeLorean instead of an easy fixer upper that looks like a "plain jane" car. I just laid out $300 and change (USA$$) for a radiator that I stupidly broke while changing a lower hose in preparing for Memphis. Add to that, the dollar exchange @ about 63% plus the $122.00 for courier charges, including 15% sales taxes------ that radiator cost me about $600.00 landed into Canada. ............BUT....I ordered it from Rob Grady on Monday, June 3 / 02, and got it Wed June 5 / 02 . My friend makes radiators and has for over 30 years. My cost from him to custom fabricate the unit would have been $500.00 to 600.00 Canadian dollars. He needed 2 weeks to make it. (Assume it would fit correctly the first time we try to install it) Is it cost effective to buy outside goods? I think not! My feelings anyway!
