Hi all

Going to take the close-out plate that holds the fuel tank off the car tomorrow to get all the rust off it and paint it.

I have only about 5 bolts holding it on and was wondering if I take it off will the fuel tank fall on my head???

I have about half a tank of fuel left.

ey up.

While I'm currently awaiting parts to get my engine sorted, I've briefly turned my attention to other areas of the car that need to be looked at.


Power Window Regulators:

The driver's side motor runs (back and forth - so I know there's current on both circuits), but it's not moving the arm. I think the arm (slidey thing) is bust.

The passenger's side motor doesn't run at all. I've tested the wires from the switch to the two motor connectors and I'm getting continuity. I tested each of the two connectors against ground, but found no continuity, so I think the motor's bust.

There have been several improvements made to the Delorean window regulators over the years and many of the main vendors stock 'improved' versions of them.

My question to you guys is:

Are all of these new and improved window regulators on sale today the same thing? And which vendor should I go with?

Hervey's is the least expensive (that i can find) if you exclude delivery and potential import duty.

thanks for your help once again

I have a used SS front license plate holder for sale... if interested, please PM me.

Many Thanks,

Hi.
Is there a gasket fitted between the sandwich plate and block? I know there is one between the sandwich plate and sump but not sure about the other. If so would any one have the part number please?
Thanks in advance.

PJ Grady (Europe) are please to announce the purchase of 'Pilot 20' - from Sascha Skucek in the US.

The car is one of the earliest known DeLoreans still in the community - and has specific historical value, being one of the few handbuilt DeLoreans assembled by Lotus for US testing purposes.

More details to follow....

I found my engine servo (on the left side of the engine) disconnected at the throttle spool, why would someone disconnect it or could it have dislodged itself? And what will it being disconnected cause?

Managed to fix all the cracks, which im pretty pleased about, just need filler and gelcoat (i think) what kinds should i use and does anyone know where i can get them??

All,

I'm doing a bit of a study...and I'm keen to hear your thoughts.
I've met a lot of DeLorean owners and enthusiasts - and I'm trying to gauge exactly what it is that first attracted peoples interest to the car.

For many, it seems that the BTTF films were a BIG influence - and lots of owners have wanted a Delorean ever since they first saw the movies.

For others (myself included), it's about the history and the idea of building something from a dream - and managing to develop such a stylish car with a limitted budget and a short timescale.

Others discard all of this and just like the look of the car and 'the doors that go up'!

For most people - you could probably tick all options - but please pick the one that is most appropriate for you.

Thanks!

Darren
