First, here are some photos of a remanufucatured car in progress here at DMC (Texas). These photos were taken a couple weeks ago, but show the frame being assembled. Note that this started as a bare frame and was built to this point. Attendees to the DMC (Texas) Open House event will be able to see this completed car, as well as the next one to be assembled. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/files/DMCH%20Refurbished%20Cars/ or http://tinyurl.com/cocrd There is a difference between a restored car and a remanufactured car here at DMC (Texas) as far as terminolgy goes and the distinction is important to note. A "restored" car, as we use the term, is a client's car that has been brought in for service work. The extent of the restoration is limited only by the client's budget :-) and be as deep as a frame-up or simply a mechanical restoration or a cosmetic restoration. When looking to purchase a "restored" car FROM ANYONE, ask to see the receipts for the work that was completed, they should be obtainable either from the seller or the company that completed the work (for cars done here, that requires the seller's authorization). A "remanufactured" car (we formerly referred to them as refurbished cars) are DeLoreans that we have purchased, stripped to a bare frame, (sandblasted, powdercoated and chemically treated the cavities) and thn rebuilt using new parts (NOS, replacement and reproduction) from the inventory here. Each car varies slightly in what is replaced (we won't replace a quarter panel that has no damage for the sake of replacing it, for example) but as the photos show in the link above, and as open house attendees will see, the work peformed and parts replaced is extensive.
