Stephen Wynne is the owner of DeLorean Motor Company (Houston). Stephen started working on DeLoreans in 1981 when he operated "Cars of Distinction" in Southern California. A few years later, together with Ed Bernstein, they opened "DeLorean One", also in Southern California.
In 1988, when DeLorean One opened a second location, Stephen and his family left Southern California to operate the Houston, Texas facility. In 1995, Stephen and Ed Bernstein dissolved their partnership and became two separate, independent entities with no affilation whatsoever.
Stephen renamed the Texas facility "De Lorean Motor Company" and in 1997 purchased the world's largest inventory of DeLorean parts from KAPAC, in Columbus, Ohio. The KAPAC inventory consists of a 40,000 square foot warehouse of new, original DeLorean parts that came from the Northern Ireland factory and the United States Parts Distribution Center in California. Literally millions of new DeLorean parts are available from De Lorean Motor Company from this inventory.
Stephen Wynne has made the DeLorean his life's work, and is universally considered one of the top technical experts regarding the DeLorean Sports Car.
And even though I get paid to say that, it's really true! :)

Hi guys, Let me add my comments to all this.....
>Hi Ed, heīs problem is easy to explain. > > [SNIP]You canīt imagine at this time there are standing thousands (we measured them in miles) of that cars at the german/poland border waiting for crossing it.[SNIP]
That is 100% true. And most of them WERE junks!

By now the >disasemble the cars her in germany, so the have only "spare parts", put them on a >truck cross the border and build them back together in Poland.
That was true, but not anymore!!! Because of those idiots importing junks to Poland they also made a new law about two years ago. Right now no one is allowed to register a car as a KIT or Rebuilt, or anything of that matter.
> >So the only chance for Tom to import his DeLorean to Poland is doing it the same >way. He only had to remove the body from the frame and ship to car in two sets of >"spare parts" to Poland.
I can bring it as "spare parts", but I will never be able to get it registered. No kit cars, no "Smithsmobiles", no cars that were put together by someone else than factory.
As you can see, it really sucks living in a country that was literally destroyed by 50 years of communism..... Thank got it's all changing now.
Take care, Tom Niemczewski tomcio(AT)gtemail.net vin 6298

Driving the car without a muffler heatshield will cause premature failure of the drive belts, pulley bearings, front engine crankshaft seal, camcover seals, and the wiring harness. The heatshield supplied by PJ Grady, and DMC Houston are factory spec. and will fit perfectly.

From what I've read on the DML: leave them off and toast your car parts... I'm guessing belts & hoses, possibly alternator. Ownership-wise I'm in the "looking" stage. Drove a D last Monday and when I got out and glanced back at the car following about 15 mins. of driving, the heat waves were just pouring out of the back of it!
I understand powerwashing them can damage them.
Somebody on the list mentioned, a month or two ago, that they had made their own, and made them a bit longer for better protection. Check the archives.
I'm sure dmc houston must have them. "www.de-lorean-steel-products.purespace.de" (in Germany) makes them out of stainless, I believe. - Wayne

The 8583 number could be correct and probably is. It's fairly common knowledge that all consecutive VIN numbers were not used. Many were skipped for reasons I'm not aware of. Perhaps someone else on the DML may know why some VIN numbers were skipped and what some of those numbers are. Ken? James?

On the top of my door along the T-panel roof line I have some old weatherstripping that needs replacement. I purchased the replacement part for it through PJ Grady and now I need to know how to remove the old stuff. It seems to be riveted right on to the door in between a metal plate. I cant take it anywhere so I have to do this myself. Any hints on how to get the plate and stripping off? And then how do I get the new stuff on?

How many heatshields are there on the DeLorean anyway??? Where are they located???
In an old DeLorean World ad for Bauerle Automotive in Ohio, you could also buy a non-delorean after-market heatshield to place in front of the car. This heatshield was meant to protect the fuelpump from the warm air coming from the radiator. This was supposed to help the fuelpump operation, so that the fuelpump wouldn't develop a high noise during operation. Is there any truth in this???
If this is true, is this particular heatshield still available?
From Bauerle? DMC Houston? PJ Grady? D1? Or is it not produced anymore?
Any help would be appreciated.

I repaired mine this way: I took it off. I bought some sheet metal to wrap around one side and the edges of the asbestos shield. I bought the sheet metal at Lowes in the form of a large stove sheet metal pipe, it cost about $3.00 The pipe had a seam running the full length and I just unrolled it and shaped it flat. I then marked it 1/2 bigger on all sides and cut it with a tin snip cutter. Then I used a rubber hammer to hammer 90% turns on the edges. I used a concrete porch step of my house to be the corner mold for the sheet metal. This was very easy. I then put the asbastos on the metal sheet and hammered it so that it folded over the asbastos on its ends. Then I drilled the holes and remounted it. I suggest that you do this so that the asbastos side is seen from the back of the car and the metal faces the engine.

Hello All....I had been meaning to replace the bulb on one of my license plate holders for a while..
Turns out it has been about three years, since the side that didn't light was missing part of the components to make it work (the little metal piece that the wire plugs into. If anyone has a license plate light "holder" for sale, please let me know.
P.S. I have only gotten 2 entries for my November contest so far....for the chance to win a FREE DeLorean poster. Check out info at www.babbtechnology.com/delorean
Thanks!

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I replaced my old torn up heat shield with a "home made" stainless pair. I made two pieces that have the same shape except one is about 1/2" to 3/4" longer on the bottom side. Using a sheet metal brake, I slightly bent the extra on the bottom of the long sheet. I then mounted the two sheets in the car with a washer in-between them to create an air gap. The way I have theorized this set up is that the rear sheet with the bend (closest to the muffler) will force air moving below the car up through the gap and out the engine cover. So, yes the sheet right next to the muffler will really heat up, but the second sheet on the other side of the air gap (and next to the belts) will remain cool.
I have been using this for just short of a year without any noticeable problems, but I am unsure that it works exactly as I have theorized. But when you look at the rear of the car, it looks really good hanging down like it does.

First, the Lang family has my deepest sympathy, and condolences. How old = was Mr. Lang?=20 Also, if I may tie this question into this "real life" event, was the = DeLorean crash-tested for a front-end collision with another vehicle? If = so, wouldn't it have been seen that it's "wedge" shape (low front end, = "high" rear end) could be rather dangerous?=20

Yes, apparently the heat shield for the fuel pump has value. I installed one about thirteen years ago and have had no problems or noise from the fuel pump. The heatshield in question is a piece of rubber (like an inner tube) that you attach with screws to direct the warm air flowing out of the radiator down away from the gas tank.

This is totally incorrect. Deloreans do, or are supposed to have, overflow containers. The original was plastic and was prone to cracking, probably the reason some Deloreans are sans container. The correct solution is to replace the original plastic container with after market containers fabricated from stainless steel.
