    Excel file of every DeLorean part

    Long shot here but,...I am wondering if anyone here has ever made an excel spreadsheet listing all of the parts for a DeLorean with part numbers, options for replacement, and rough costs?
    I did this for my last resto project. It worked great and I was able to share it with the BMW airhead community in the end but as you can guess it is very time consuming so I am just checking before I do it for the DeLorean.20220123_194036.jpg

    Well, there's this thread on the topic of crossover or cross referenced parts started in 2011; last posting as of 2 yrs ago.

    No, it's not in Excel (it was begun in google docs) but it wouldn't take much to convert that and then import the various inputs from some of the 100+ postings in that thread.

    No, I'm not volunteering.

    Thanks Rich. I'll check it out. I did a search but never found this.
    What you don't need another job to do? Haha

    I can build a cross-reference tool that community could use.

    But instead of putting it directly in Excel, I would put it in an online database that could be searched via the web, and via the DeLorean Mobile App, or exported to Excel. It could store the internet links and pictures (if available). It could also store information about aftermarket items, such as Dave McKeen's stuff, and others.

    Before I do such a thing, what does everyone think the usage might be?

    I've been looking hard at this problem. Certainly the aftermarket/crossover is a big part of this. If you know about database, let's talk.
