Been recoating the bumper foam while I wait for a few more parts to arrive.

I'M BACK!

That said..finally replacing the radiator and AC. Yanked out the full cooling assembly today. Much easier if you take the bumper off (and your AC is evacuated so you can simply...

Thanks for all the feedback. I agree that the AC is likely fine and that it was just a bad hose due to age. This said...it's an old unit and I might as well convert to modern coolant. I believe...

Destroyed the A/C.

Ran the car for the first time in a few months...all was fine...then POW! Shut it off immediately and started hunting down the source in the engine bay. The (or a?) main A/C line exploded. Guess I...

OK I'll be honest I have not searched crap and am being lazy after years of not posting.

My poor thing is being weird.

Right now the cooling fans do not kick on at all. Even if I turn on the...

Unfortunately no. I've been using this poor thing as is since. Had other thing come up so never really addressed it.

This is a troll thread so...

The car is the most inefficient POS you can get...and there are no hemp interiors for this smogbucket. You can't use synthetic oil if you properly want to care for the...

Yea even with the bent fitting I think its fine as indicated. I finally got mine replaced (also original one in place) when I went through my transmission fiasco. I wish I had tried to cut open the...

$9100 financed through USAA 11 years ago. Paid off 2011. My DeLorean is the only car I have actually owned outright. As mentioned tho, seems some things have changed so I dunno how easy or generous...

Started recharging the battery again. Guess at some point in the last few weeks the battery refresher disconnected and I missed it out of habit. The car was dead as a door nail. I jumped it and got...

So a question...is it better for the car to keep the doors open or closed most of the time? Since I keep the car in the garage I can keep the doors open or closed...but I feel like keeping them open...

Anyone have any experience with dyes for the gray interior? My driver's seat could use replacement but to be honest just dying the worn parts that are now white might work well enough for my needs...

Refilled the coolant on my A/C, took it out to a car show at Vandenberg yesterday (wasn't in it, just needed to get the car out).

Glad to see this thread. I repainted my bumpers some years ago using a rustolium automotive spray paint that was actually a green shade per the label. It has held up in form fine...but since I...

All granted and true. For now tho...I'll stick with what I have as it works fine and if it becomes an issue again I'll consider the valve replacement. Besides with the added adapter I can use some...

It is fixed. Just needed more coolant. I also determined that the leak was actually from the low side valve. The cap also wasn't completely sealing it off possibly due to age. I installed an R134...

Ron...thanks for breaking this off.

That said and as recommended...turned on the system and it is dead as a doornail. 5psi. She's empty.

I looked at the related systems as Dave recommended and...

So I was taking a look at the A/C. I connected a pressure tester which was showing me about 38psi at ~83F (may have been in the upper 70s in the garage actually). Car was off so the compressor was...

Well fixed the high beams. It was a bad relay. Luckily I kept a spare in the glove box. Wish I had just did it when I first noticed it.

I drove it from Colorado to California last night into today. ~17 hours manhandling a DeLorean across the western US. It was generally fine except...

- Colorado decided to thunderstorm in Denver,...

I don't see my car as an investment. More like an obsession in a murder mobile I have an nostalgic connection to.

That said...these cars HAVE gone up in price over the years. My crappy painted car...

heh this reminds me of a couple decades ago when the radiator hose blew on my mom's car. It wasn't overheating. It just came off catastrophically. Water and noise everywhere.
