[DML] Two Frames for sale ( Was Rusted Frame)

["erikgeerdink" <erikgeerdink@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have two manual frames for sale.  One is still on my car, the other 
is in my garage from my parts car.

The parts car was in an accident in the front passenger side.  This 
bent the shock tower back a bit and caused damaged to the passenger 
side of the crumple tube.  The rest of the frame is very solid with 
no rust.  I believe a frame shop would be able to align the front.  
If anyone is interested, please contact me.  I will sell for a great 
price.

The other frame is currently on my car, 04512.  The reason it is for 
sale is because I'm going to be doing a frame swap this March with 
Josh (Thanks Josh!).  Back in 2000 i had a lot of work done on my car 
by to very experience Delorean guys.  While they were replacing and 
fixing everything else on my car, they cleaned up the frame as good 
as they could with having the body still on the car.  The frame is 
straight, but would need to be restored due to rust.  I will also let 
this frame go ver a very good price.  

If anyone is interested, please contact me off the list.  I have a 
flat bed trailer that I could deliver with depending on the distance.

All funds go right back into the restore of 04512. 

Thanks,
Erik Geerdink
