Today is my DeLoreanniversary!
It's been 13 years since I told my brand new girlfriend I would be out of town for a weekend and drove #2613 home. What a long, strange trip it's been...
The weather is finally cooling down here in Equatorial Florida, and I've got my to-do list ready.

Getting ready to install Josh S's front brake upgrade
Most of the brake parts are here! The work will begin soon. :)

Not pictured here are a few odds and ends, shop supplies, &c. (Who wants to see a bottle of brake fluid? Nor do I.) I'll also treat #2613 to new lug nuts: the current ones are beginning to rust.
I'll document the work as fully as possible.

I have some rust remediation to do.
When I put the car in the air to do the brake work, I noticed some epoxy starting to separate beside the passenger-side tow hook.

I also noticed, as you will have from the above photo, that the tow hook is bent downward slightly. I tried to push it back up, but it is sturdier than it looks!
When I'm done with the brakes and a/c, I'll have to raise the car higher and start chipping away at some epoxy so that I can do some painting. I still have plenty of black Rustoleum (the oil-based, brush-on kind) from when I stripped and painted the headlight buckets. (Yes, the frame is mostly black underneath in the front. I don't know why.)
