Brandon,
Thanks, nice try ( autotrend.com/111.html) - but not what I'm
looking
for.
The poster " Blizzard of the 80's " is about 2'x3' and is a repo of
a
painting done by, I believe, a French artist. It shows a front view of
the
Delorean with its doors up in a snow storm.
I'm still looking for this item, if anyone has any info. Thanks,
Marty

I too replaced my original alternator with a Delco alternator but rather
than modify the Delorean mounting bracket, I modified the Delco
alternator.
That way if I ever want to put the original back on I can simply
reattach
it. The Delorean wiring also remains the same.

Subject: DML: Was the Delorean front suspension from a Ford ??????
While looking in a car repair manual for Ford Mustangs & Pintos and
Mercury
Bobcats & Carpi, I noticed that the drawing for the front lower control
arm
is amazingly similar to the Delorean lower control arm. For that matter,
the whole suspension looks very close to the Delorean. The upper control
arm looks a little different where it attaches the frame. The manual
indicates the years were 75 - 78 Mustang and 75 - 80 Bobcat & Pinto.
Since these are only drawings in a shop manual, they could be way off
from
the D's parts but I thought I'd throw it out to the crowd to see if there
are any other opinions. I'm thinking of heading out to the local junk
yard
to see what I can find out but with winter upon us here in MN it may need
to
wait a half year :-(
If anyone can take a closer look, let me know what you find.

I think the contoured headlamps are from a
Nissan Sentra ca 1985 or so. I recall reading
an article about the conversion somewhere. It
might even have been in DeLorean World.

I just wanted to pass this along - in case others haven't seen the closing
chapter on DeLorean's past. Forwarning it is a generally negative piece
on
the company - Peter
c The Associated Press
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - Nov 14 - The British government and
auditors
for the now-defunct DeLorean Motor Co. have finally closed the book one of
Northern Ireland's biggest-ever investment disasters.
``Both parties have agreed that it is time to bring this complex and
protracted litigation to an end,'' the government and Arthur Andersen &
Co.
said in a joint statement Friday - 12 years after the government sued
Andersen for negligence.
Neither side publicly disclosed the terms, but local estimates of the
payout
Andersen will make to the government ranged from $31 million to $37
million.
The government's legal bill, for cases pursued on both sides of the
Atlantic,
was estimated at $25 million. It had sought up to $300 million from
Andersen,
the accounting arm of Andersen Worldwide.
In 1976, the government wooed the maverick American carmaker John
DeLorean to
Northern Ireland, impressed by his promise to create a 2,000-worker plant
between deprived Protestant and Catholic sections of southwest Belfast.
DeLorean's solid-steel, gull-winged Americar won a cult following and an
ironic place in the ``Back to the Future'' films. But his dream of
building a
sports-car empire to rival the American big three automakers proved a
nightmare for the British taxpayer.
The Belfast plant closed after four years in 1982 with the loss of about
1,500 jobs. A year later, the government concluded it spent $130 million
to
prop up the venture, and that Northern Ireland had suffered incalculable
losses because the fiasco would deter other investors.
In 1985, it filed suit against DeLorean's accountants, alleging Andersen
should have done more to warn the government that DeLorean was on the
road to
nowhere.
DeLorean was acquitted on charges of cocaine trafficking in San Diego
after
the company's collapse and lives in New Jersey.
In August, an appeals court in Cincinnati ruled that DeLorean must sell
his
personal assets - including what's left of his 434-acre estate - to pay
millions of dollars in legal debts to one of his former lawyers.

The stock DMC headlights look suspiciously like the headlights on my VW
Scirocco (I like to pretend it's a D). Look at
http://ftn.net/~scirocco/submissions/smokinn.jpg
I wonder if the European Scirocco headlights would fit? They are the
separate reflector/H1 type, and are availible for about $300 US. Look at
http://ftn.net/~scirocco/submissions/warlord.jpg

If I move this lever towards the dash with the low beams on they go off =
and none of the head lights are burning. Is this what should turn them =
on and if so do you have a clue where the pronlem may be?
Thanks for any help you can give.
