Hello, all. I just bought a 81 delorean with auto trans. 10k miles that has been sitting in a garage for 11 years. Number 3394. It got parked because the fuel pump was acting up. It has the original tires still holding air on it. The original owner. In As good condition as you could expect.
Now the bad, 1/2" jelly in the fuel tank. Nothing was drained before it got covered up for an 11 year nap. All the fluid levels are where they should be just not the color or condition they should be. I know from reading posts here that the fuel system will need rebuilt. Here is a question. Has anyone ever been able to just run cleaners through the fuel system and get it running reliable again.
It looks like it can run 2k on the fuel system parts along.
It also looks like I will need to replace all the water line hoses. Brake flex hoses.
What are the chances of not replacing the radiator, water pump, master cylinder, calipers, heater core, etc.
What about the electric items, i have not put a battery in it yet. What can I expect?
The Out side mirrors are foggy looking. One door gasket has a tear in it, the head liner is sagging in one spot. Ill fix these. They are easy to spot and know they need fixed.
Any input or direction to other info sources would be appreciated. Thanks, joel
