After seeing the photos I remember now the front wheels were on that car, it had no steering rack and one of the rear wheels (or the rear suspension, I don't remember exactly now) was missing so we had to steer each front wheel and put a dolly under the rear. The frame was nice but it looked like it was recently painted with a trowel. From the pictures you can see how dirty everything was and how disassembled things were. The motor (which was removed) was "supposed" to have been from that car and was also supposed to be very low mileage (and running when removed). One has to wonder why it was removed if it worked and the frame was so nice. These pictures are not when we removed all these parts but must be from an earlier time. No one took pictures. I wish we had. No one will believe how bad the conditions were. We moved a mountain of parts (not Delorean) to get much of the Delorean parts and cars out of Claude's "indoor storage". I do remember especially that we had a lot of difficulty moving the cars with all the parts missing and the panels just laying on the car so there was nowhere to push them without pushing the panels off the cars! We had to use a floor jack and dollys to move the cars around, if any of the cars did have tires then they were flat! Some had Vega?( I think) rims and junk tires. Parts were strewn everywhere. We found things in drawers, shelves, boxes, etc. On the loft we were removing tires for maybe 2 hours there were so many. To get to the point, these pictures do appear to be of 570 but from them you cannot get a sense of how bad it really looked. When we really got them uncovered and Rob got a good look at them he confided that if he had been able to get a good look at all of it beforehand he probably wouldn't have touched this pile of cr-p. The mint doors were damaged by being removed without removing the torsion bars first (as mentioned by Claude) and of all the new parts that were supposed to be there we did find a new windshield and a new sunshade in a box. Mostly we found used parts, like 6 exhaust systems, 20 tires and rims, old fuel pumps, etc. It did not make sense the amount of used parts we found in no way matched the cars we found or that Claude claimed to have fixed.
