Has anyone thought of contacting the company who made the leather for
the DMC?  Bridge of Weir.
Are they still in business?  It would be great if you could buy some
leather seat covers from them to cover the seats!
Just a thought.....

One of the most frequent goofs that printers make when printing pictures
in publications is printing them backwards.  This is such a common error
that I've even seen photo's in Star Trek actors own biography books with
the trek insignia on the shirts on the wrong side because some editor or
layout person didn't notice it.
I would imagine that this could be a logical explaination for the
seemingly reversed GRP bodies.  A picture doesn't always say a thousand
words, especially in our world of digital manipulation and simple goofs
like printing a photo backwards.  If anyone can clarity this please do.

That is what I thought of first,but if you magnify the picture you will see that the ceiling and lights match up with the black area of the picture,and besides why would the factory deliberty confuse a customer.

Dear Claud,
I cant find the picture to wich you refer, however, could it be one where
the photo/negative was printed backwards? The photo of my car in "Classic
Cars" March 99, page 82, was..this made my RHD look like a LHD!
All I can say is that I have seen 9 RHD cars at close quarters and none had
the position of the petrol filler area changed over, indeed both my Auto's,
have 2 brake servos fitted, one under the spare wheel and one in the engine
bay, the only difference is the "header tank" for the brakes in on long
pipes, on  one car under the spare wheel,and the other one right next to the
fuel filler.

I have not looked at the picture myself, but Calude claims that the gas
fill bump out is on what would be the passenger side of a RHD car..  If
it were that the negative were reversed, then the gas bump would be on
the driver side..
The point is, if the gas fill bump and steering cutout are on opposite
sides, then the picture is not of a "standard" delorean.
Right?

Mike,
I've removed the door panels, both sides, more than once.  I believe I used

One caution, the stainless steel interior is extremely sharp.  WEAR GLOVES!

I wonder if there is a better coil that can be used instead of the

Hey Mike,
   I've heard this problem a lot of times on the DML, I believe the "quick 
fix" solution to this is to switch the blue plug connected to the cold start 
valve with the black plug on the ....i forget the name of it that is right 
near it in the engine compartment this will force gas into the engine and 
make it start.  You are having a "hot start" problem.  And I remember hearing 
from DMC Joe that the "correct" solution to this is to replace the Fuel 
Accumulator, am I right?  DMCJoe?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Sounds like the fuel accumulator to me. They're not too expensive to buy,
but putting it in is time consuming. I got mine from P.J. Grady in one day.
The car has worked fine since.

    Well heres an interesting story. I am not going to side on the sellers
side or any prospective buyers, i am simply providing information.
Over the weekend my dad went down to Barstow, California where he was
getting a cell phone installed in his truck or something. When he was there
in the shop, the guy began telling my dad how he bought a car off some guy
that he knew and was interested in selling the thing cause he has no time
for it.  The car had been in a wreck but could easily salvageable if given
the proper attention.  My dad was kinda curious so the guy took my dad in
the back storage room where the car sat. to my pops suprise, he saw a
delorean! It had been in a accident so a new fiberglass peice would have to
be made for it and probably new panels in the front. Me personally, i have
no idea how much these parts would cost. The guy told my dad that he had
gotten a quote of 4 grad to fix the front. That dowsn't necessarly sound so
right to me though. i would have thought it would have been a little less. I
dont have the vin # on me (i left it in my delorean!) but suprisingly this
car is in pretty good condition other then that!
    My dad called me from the shop after telling the guy that his son had a
delorean. so of course i wanted to see it so i drove down there. So heres
the scoop.
-The car has only 4000 original miles on it.
-Except for the fact that the headliner would have to be re-glued, or
replaced
  the interior is in great condition.
-The rear sunshade would have to be replaced too.
-the car runs
-the rest of the car looks pretty much untouched.
- the car was hit in the front left.
-the wheel are perfect along with new centercaps and such as well as new
struts.
now heres the weird part. no one is really sure where he got the thing. he
told us that he bought it off someone else but from what i hear from my dad
is that the previous owner had bought it from a junk yard and that it had
been declared as totaled. so he say that if it was to be rebuilt, then it
would say SALVAGE in the insurance. Would this really be a problem? I know i
have seen other cars out there that had been wrecked and restored and those
persons were able to get there car insured.
another thing is that i am not sure of any upgrades that have been performed
on the car. i dont even know if it has any at all! it could still need more
work in just the upgrades! the shop guy had a hard time taking that in. He
think that buy replacing the front end and fixing back up will make it
totally original thus makeing it worth 20 K +! i told him not to hold his
breath. He said that he had talked to don and don said the car was only
worth a few grand the way it is, but the shop guy for some reason still
thinks he is going to get 9 grand for the car.  I told my dad that if the
car was accuired for the right price it might be worth fixing up. HE says
that if he doesn't get at least 9 hes going to fix it. from what i gather,
this guy doesn't know the first thing about a delorean.  hes kinda a weird,
salesman type of guy and i don't thing he really wants to keep it. I would
believe that if the right amount was offered some one might be able to score
a cheap, project delorean.
is there anybody out there even remotely interested in buying this thing? i
have more information at home and i could probably get pictures but for
serious inquirys only. If any, you can write me at home at
rubberneck1@home.com
thanx. pass the word if you will. this is just a letter to keep the delorean
comunity informed. there might be just the person out there looking for just
this kind of deal. the again. there might not.

Wasn't me!  I wrote the original "Rust Never Sleeps' article for DeLOREAN
WORLD. A couple of years later another fellow, his name escapes me, wrote
"Rust Never Sleeps, Part II" for the same magazine. He was the one who had
the frame galvanized.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I might have a solution,
quite low-cost and reliable (when done wel).
I installed this system in a Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit in the US) for a
friend
who wanted to convert his fogs into extra brakes (so he would have 4
brakes),
without losing the fogs...
This actually isn't that hard: all I did was install a couple of heavy
Diodes that could
easily work about 5 Amps (that's the current for a 21Watts bulb + a
safety-margin)
I simply put the diode between both plusses of Brake and Fog, with the
Cathode
connected to the Fog-side.
Since a Diode is comparable to an electronic "one-way-valve" it allows
current to
run to both brake-lights, when power is switched to the fog-light only
one bulb
(the inner- or the outer-one, that's your choice) gets current because
of the diode!
When I firts put this together I forgot ONE thing:
a Diode has a voltage-drop of about 0.7Volts; so the
"non-fog"-brake-light was a bit less bright... This was easily solved
by adding an extra Diode in the Brake-light-line, so both bulbs would
get the same voltage again.
I've made up a couple of scetches to explain what I mean,
I'll put them in the Vault for anyone who's interested.
If anyone has any questions,
please feel free to mail me privately at Jan@vdWouw.Demon.nl

Concerning my earlier post concerning some cusom wiring for
Rear-Fog-lights:
I've Just posted the explaining pictures in the Vault;
there's a folder called "Custom Rear-Foglight-wiring" in which I've put
them.
When I checked I saw one slight mistake:
I live in the Netherlands, we drive on the right,
so my drawing of the taillight-cluster is LHD-based.
If you decide to use my wiring in the UK (or Australia), 
all you have to do is switch the power-wire for the Fog-light 
to the right Taillight. When you want the configuration with
two Fog-lights -of which I don'y know if that's legal in the UK-
you don't hav to change anything, just add the blue wire...
Succes and regards,

Hello,
    I went out to start my 81 5 speed DeLorean today and the starter wouldnt 
budge.( it has sat for 5 months)  I put a brand new battery in it today but I 
just here a clicking sound coming from behind the pasenger seat when I turn 
the key.  no power is getting to the starter.  What could be the problem?  
The electronics behind the seat look a little corroded. I would like to get 
it started before it is put away for the winter.  I would feel bad the whole 
winter if I knew I had a non-running DMC.

I have no idea what you mean by the lights matching up with the black area
of the pic, but if you look at the picture next to that one, the one where
the workers are working on the underside of a D chassis which is on it's
side, you'll notice that BOTH workers have air tools in their LEFT hands.
Well, I know that it's possible that there could be two left-handers working
on a car, but it is unlikely. It looks like another printing error to me.
Not only that, but if you look closely, you can see that the spare tire
"bubble" is on the wrong side. So, if the pic is "correct", then you have a
factory RHD chassis of a DeLorean with two left-handed workers working on
it. But I would guess that that pic is reversed as well.

Subject: [DML] Re: door panel removal
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Basically, you just follow the instructions in the workshop manual. 
They are relatively good.  :-)
But, here's a rundown, as well as the one disagreement that I have with
the book:
	1.)  Pop loose the fir-tree clamps along the top of the upper trim
pad.  Simply get your finger, or a flat, sturdy object under the top
edge of the trim panel and pull up.  :-)  They should pop right out,
allowing for easy removal of the trim pad.
	2.)  Unscrew the lower trim bracket from the door.  I believe that
there are about 6 screws involved here, but do make sure to remember
what order they go in.  Nothing's worse than trying to put the wrong
screws in the wrong holes.  :(
	3.)  Carefully remove the molding from around the lock/release
latch/mirror.  I believe that the manual almost completely neglects to
mention this step, but... well it's important.  :)
	4.)  Break loose the fir tree clips at the bottom of the lower trim
panel.  Be careful not to damage the rubber seal between the lower door
carpet and the door itself.  If you do, this can easily be glued back on
(as I had to do:).
	5.)  Stare down at the handle used to pull the door down (you know, the
one with the pull-strap attached... yeah that one:).  From the top
inside you should be able to see TWO hex nuts that hold the handle in
place.  I believe that they are 13mm, but I may be remembering wrong. 
Remove those two bolts and remove the door pull handle.
	6.)  Now you should be able to remove the entire lower trim pad, and
get to work on re-forming that door guide.
Overall the process can be a bit time-consuming, but is relatively
painless.  And, AFAIK, the $5 fix will at least solve your problem for a
while, as it seems to be working well with my passenger side door at the
moment.
Have fun,
Jess

Could be lots of things, but the first thing I would check would be the
connection where the negative battery cable connects to the frame.
Clean that connection good, it's probably corroded and not allowing the
full power of the battery to reach the starter.

I had this problem when I wanted to dip my frame in hot zinc.  For me
there were three options:
1) The company that dips parts (bridge) into melted zinc can do so with
the epoxy on, the epoxy will burn off.  They were not allowed to do this
any more in my State (NY).
2) Dipping into paint remover (furniture refinishers and industrial
painting).
3) Furniture stripper to use Volcanic Ash to blast the Epoxy off the
frame.
The third method was the method I used.

Before entertaining any thoughts of changing out your Bosch ignition coil
consider the following. The factory installed coils have a "0" failure
rate. Your choice; do you want to trade off questionable performance for
100% reliability.

Erik,
Don't bother. First of all accessing those speakers requires a major
disassembly of the interior rear quarter panel. Secondly the speakers have
no; I repeat, NO BAFFLEING. That means that the speakers sit in mid air, an
audio traducer no! no!  Investigate having speakers installed in the rear
wall of your parcel shelf or If you don't want to do any cutting, there are
loads of "hatchback" type speakers that can fit on your parcel shelf that
sound pretty good.
BTW: if you don't care about "bass" than go ahead and replace the OEM
speakers.

chip,
You were right about the $4k estimate as being incorrect, but it's not too
high it is too low. If the front end is damaged and both front fenders
need replacement you should know the LF stainless panel is not readily
available. You will have to do a lot of searching and expect to pay as much
as $4K just for one panel.

In the state of New Hampshire a car over 10 years old does not need a Title, 
In fact one cannot even get a title for a car that old even if turning in a 
"Perfect" Title from NH of any other state, so fleet cars, police cars, 
salvage cars don't matter, as long as they can pass inspection when street 
ready.  One merely needs a bill of sale (not even notarized) and real VIN 
#'s.  For vehicles without VIN's, or European VIN's  the process is a bit 
more complex, but still do-able. As a bonus NH no longer tests emissions 
either.  Does that give a clue to our state motto  "Live Free or Die"  which 
is stamped on the number plate!!  Over the years this rule has allowed me to 
restore some real basket cases and get them on the road.

It could be a negative goof,or it could just be a right hand drive car,problem is unless you find the  people in the pic we will never know,just another mystery to add in the Delorean Saga.

Can someone scan this photo in?
When Claude says that the picture shows a Right hand drive car with the =
gas fill bump out on the passenger side, does he mean passenger side in =
the states (i.e Right Hand Side) or passenger side of what would be a =
Right hand drive car (i.e the left side, like all Deloreans). If it is on =
the left side then indeed this would not be a flipped photo neg. But one =
must see to determine. Nothing like a good mystery eh?

yikes! Don't leave that frame outside for the winter,after stripping or you won't find much left to it,on the serious side,what are you going to put on the frame after stripping it? Primer and Paint?Or are you going to try to re expoy the frame? I would suggest POR-15(Pour over Rust)to apply over the bare frame.

I have been restoring old cars for almost 40 years.  I follow the FAA
specification for steel and iron parts in airplanes. I have also done
aging studies over years with cars left out in the whether. Here is the
process
1. Remove rust to bare metal as much as possible.  high speed wire
brushing is the easiest for most people.  Sand blasting is best. 
2. Treat metal with phosphoric acid metal prep. let dry 24 hrs.
3. Paint metal with "yellow death" from Dupont.  (This is absolutely
critical.) Let dry /cure at least 48 hours.
4. Cover with epoxy chromate primer.
5. Cover with sandable primer 3 coats minimum. Let dry sand with 400
grit.
6. Paint with finish paint.

I installed the Bosch blue coil which is supposed to be higher energy. 
Accel, and other companies also make 40,000+ volt standard size coils.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

A new issue started today, my battery light seems to have a  dim red glow to
it.  I have never noticed this before.  Also. on my battery gauge the needle
seems to always stay right below 13 (mid-point).
Any advise on how to proceed is most appreciated.
