hello all,
This si my first posting here on this forum. I have been inlace with the Delorean since I was a child and now have the amazing opportunity to purchase a 1981 from a second owner. It has about 32000 miles on it, almost all of them put on by the first owner and over the last 10 years the second owner put on about 400 miles. It has been driven a few times a month for short distances. The deal is amazing and I am very lucky to have this opportunity to purchase my dream car.
My questions are:
1 what problems may I be getting into?
2 I hear about epoxy coated frames needing repair about now. Is this very expensive and can it be done by myself?
3 would I be better off buying the parts new and building it piece by piece?
4 how much would #3 cost?
i know I may have opened a can of worms here or that the answers may be scattered all over this forum, so please be a gentile as possible. And thank you for having me as part of the community
Robert
