Hi Mick Yes, you should have side marker lights, front and back. The front ones can double as indicators with a simple bit of wiring (must write up for the website....) Although it's arguably less stress on the torsion bars to store them with the doors up ir's kind of like saying that you should take the weight off the wheels to save stressing the springs. A torsion bar is just a strait spring (kind of). It does lose its torsion very very very slowly. My doors had almost certainly never been adjusted since the factory and required 2 splines each to get them perfect. BTW the vapour container cannister is commonly called the charcoal cannister.

It does have the red and orange lenses on the out side though. Should it have lights fitted ? Also just a thought should the delorean be stored with the doors up to stop the tortion bars being permenantly under stress?
