Morning all,
The PSO restoration and improvement work continues, and so
far, not as many shocks as I expected. Finally my door lights are
working!! It turns out that the RHD conversion process left most of the
electrical wiring in the wrong areas of the car. The worst example being
the front interior light, the cabling for which was placed up the right
hand A-pillar, then covered in a second sheet of vinyl, hence the
peeling vinyl problem which many other owner picked up on at meetings
etc. As it happens, my windscreen is being replaced, so this is going to
be addressed, and new vinyl applied to the right hand A-pillar. This
peeling A-pillar, along with my peeling glove-box compartment, have long
since been my biggest bug-bears, but both are being addressed now, so
PSO will be have lost its two major visual defects.
As my windscreen is being replaced, I am told that I have two choices for replacement. One with the green sunstrip tint, one with the bronze tint. I used to have a bronze tint, which I liked, but was this correct for an November 81 car? I've been told that I may have to wait a great deal longer for a bronze tint windscreen, but I'm still waiting on word from Martin on this one. What do others think? Bronze or Green, opinions on which suits the car best, and whether I am right to feel I should wait for the bronze tint version?
As a final point, what kind of bonnet should a November 81 car have? Mine is flat without grooves, and a bonnet Delorean badge. What should a November 81 bonnet be. The 81 sunstar model has a grooved bonnet, is that correct? My car has a two-tone interior, which is apparently an 83 characteristic, did they do that on any of the 81s? Finally should a November 81 have silver or grey wheels. I'm having mine repainted a resplendent silver whilst the car is with Martin. How silver can silver be? What is the most silver, silver available when repainting alloys? I don't want a chrome look, but I really want to highlight how detailed and beautiful the wheels are? Should I ask for a particular finish to achieve this? Martin will be sending the wheels to a particular company he knows, but wondered if others knew of the correct finish to ask for?
Regards to all,
Stephen.
