About DMC-81
- Biography:
- I have restored my DeLorean as a hobby, starting in January 2014, and finishing in March 2018. I had a great time and I learned a lot about the car. My restoration goal was a "mostly correct" car, but I addressed known flaws or weaknesses so that I ended up with a reliable show car.

Exterior: front and rear fascias and engine louvers repainted using the correct paint codes, side mirror glass, Interior: Craig cassette stereo repaired and modded, OEM door lock system repaired and modded
