Interesting Delorean to be auctioned off.

Your correct. If the parts were electro-plated, the door edges would also be plated unless they put a cover over those areas to save money. I bet the original 2 or 3 cars the inside of the fenders are not gold plated.

Yes. According to Nick Sutton's book, the inside of the panels were painted with lacquer so that the gold would not adhere to them during the electro plating process. However, due to time constraints, one door was not lacquered inside, and thus is completely coated in gold. All the DeLorean books paint a pretty entertaining picture of pulling off the gold cars. The panels were snuck into the factory in a refrigerated truck, etc.
