Dan, Please have a "DeLorean free" happy Christmas.....I hope you soon start to feel a bit better. Whilst I don't wish to lecture, but no-body should under-estimate the volume and cost of work involved in restoring any "classic car". The last thing I want to see is a disillusioned, broke ex-DeLorean fan. Did anyone see the recent "Car Reborn" on Cable telly where they restored an E Type Jag? Total cost at the end of the day £85K!!

I don't have the patience or the technical know-how to do *that* much work. I won't sell the car but I doubt it'll ever be drivable now (a long story for the website over crimbo methinks). Instead of being tooooo negative about it all I may just buy another one (on finance of course) after I've been through the rigour of re-mortgaging and sorting my finances... but we'll see. At the moment I just want nothing to do with Delorean's or anything related to them... Depressing times!
