Paul,
You have only had your car "5 minutes" you like Martin, have got stuck in and got the job finished ( well nearly) in record time, however, some folk ,due to lack of time or finances, or both, find their jobs dragging on for years.....then there is a real danger of getting completely "Brassed off" with the project.
This is not just a DeLorean thing. In my long experience of class cars, I've
seen many owners / restorers "fall by the wayside".
This is the main reason why I try and point potential new owners towards
"Running MOT'd" cars, alright you may be paying a bit more "up front" but at
least you've got a running car you can play with and improve as you go
along. Rather than a full blown restoration project.
Just my view......I hate to see nice lads like Daniel dispirited.

Did I hear some one mention FRAME ISSIUE????? I had a small one....well medium... ok it was fairly big, HOWEVER It can be sorted and if you want help/advise/someone to do the work, or just a chat to get out of the dumps give me a call.
NOTHING is impossible, and the words CAN'T BE DONE don't exist, and thats straight from my Grandfather :-)
