RE: [doc] Painted Deloreans from the Factory!!!!!

["Chris Parnham" <secretary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the best of my knowledge there was no paint shop at the DeLorean
factory. Certainly ex employee, Joe Murray was adamant when he was asked
about painted cars, I believe he said "I did all the painting at the
factory, if I didn't paint it then it wasn't painted" or words to that
effect. 

You'd be amazed how people recollections differ.  I was approached at
the NEC by a man who swore blind that his firm made the "inner wings" He
did not believe that they were part of the under-body.

Hi everyone,  

 

I was out on Saturday to the shops in #2493 and was approached by a guy
who
used to work in the factory.

 

After a bit of general chat he got to talking about painted cars and was
very adamant that there WERE painted cars that lefty the factory and
that he
worked in the paint shop.  He reckons that about 27 left painted one of
which was a red one owned by Noel Orr.

 

According to an article I have, the red car was painted in Dundonald
(posted
the article in the photos section).

 

He also has a couple of new stock radios and Delorean lettering from the
factory that was in the offices.  But before anyone may ask, he is not
interested in selling them.

 

Anyway, just thought it was an interesting conversation to have when
round
at the shop but Im not going to go out hunting for a factory painted car
-
Im happy with stainless.  Have a nice week everyone.

 

Ps:

 

Ive posted on the DML but in case anyone does not follow it:

            

Hi everyone,

 

I have noticed a squealing noise from the engine bay during driving.  At
first I thought it was the belts slipping when water had got on them
from
rain but yesterday I noticed it happened the odd time when I would have
thought the belts were dry.

 

My belt to the alternator is slightly looser than I would think it
should be
(does anyone know how tight it should be ie- approx amount of movement
if
you push it from top to bottom) so I had initially blamed that.

 

Does anyone else have an idea what it sound like as Im hoping its not
the
water pump.

 

Cheers

 

Paul.
