Dr. Bob!
Your 6-step process sounds good, but I wonder what you do with the hollows in the frame. It seems impossible to me to get all of the old epoxy out of there, not speaking of getting the new coatings IN there!? What good is a bulletproof outside coating, if my frame rusts away from inside :-) ???

I missed the very beginning of the piece, so am not sure about the name of the company, but a Scottish leather trim firm were on cable TV recently and reference was made to their previous work for De Lorean. So the probable answer is yes
However, a company in Nottingham England, called ( I Think) Robin hood Cars , a kit car firm, still has a large qty of brand new seat covers( GREY) , ex De Lorean factory . We in the UK club have tried to buy just a few of them in the past, but he wanted to sell the lot for " a lot of money"!.
We have subsequently had seats re-trimmed locally a lot cheaper, and just as good, and the leather wasn't 18years old.

Hi everyone, this is my first post to the list, been a member for a while but never posted, I just became a proud delorean owner about 4 weeks ago, a 1982 vin # 10854, manual trans, grey interiour. Shes a a beauty mechanicaly, or so says DMC Joe who has the car right now giving it some love that only he can do :) (plug for dmcjoe- hes a great guy!!)
Im sure coming down the road i will have many questions for you guys, and firstly, my exteriour is in great shape but the interiour needs some serious work, it seems that the car has been outside most of its life and the sun has not been kind to the insides.
Im looking to do a complete interiour restoration and i would like to to use original parts for the restoration, but im not looking to make my car a contours quality D at the moment, so going to a leather upholestry shop would be just as good for me than original, my question is (finally) does anyone have interiour parts for sale in almost new condition, im looking for a dash, binacle, center console (whole peice) ash tray, change holder, cargo net, and side panels, (complete).
In addition, my hood has no visible dings or sratches, it is a late 1982 hood that has no grooves or gas flap, It seems to be showing (very minor) the X pattern in the stainless, Firstly is there anyway of removing this pattern or does anyone have a extra hood for sale (prefer grooves or grooves with gas flap) or would like to trade their hood for a 1982 style, i would be willing to negociate price and conditions as well.
I live in the Northern VA area and would really like to meet (in person or virtually) any other people in the area or state that own D's.
Anyways! Thanks everyone!

Why aren't there any posts about his photo? Someone has fitted a supercharger on the delorean engine!? Who was it, how much did it cost, how well does it work? It looks awesome!

Getting Inside the frame is always a tough issue. On old cars that I have restored, I have cut holes in to the frame to be able to get out the old rust chunks and insure proper ventilation of these spaces.
It has never hurt the value of these cars when selling them. You can sand blast into these holes to remove as much rust as possible. Usually, these need only be 1/2 inch in diameter. One at each end so that the air and sand flow out the other end.
Study the frame design and drill the appropriate holes. My experience with the delorean frame is that most rust starts at the laminate sections. I soak these repeatedly with phosphoric acid. for a few days. A garden sprayer can be used to spray this stuff inside the frame. After about a week, I air spray in the yellow death. And so on with the other paints.
Some purists will not agree at drill holes. However, if you have had to continuous treat a rust problem on a frame, you eventually will put the hole in one way or the other.
