What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Not too hard, I hope...

I was able to walk away.

New gauge from https://perfecttuning.net/ installed:

Replaces a Prosport vac/boost gauge that was difficult to read during the day. Connects to MegaSquirt by CAN bus, configurable by web browser, can set multiple alarms, all kinds of features. It can even monitor 3 sensors on its own and report the values back to Megasquirt over CAN. Eventually I'll remove the AFR gauge as it's now redundant but I have larger plans for that spot and need to build a new auxiliary cluster first.

Drove 588 miles from Pittsburgh to Kentucky without a hitch. Great car.

Thanks!

Total trip for the weekend was 1,216 miles through PA/OH/KY/WV (Pittsburgh to Bowling Green and back, different routes each way). The car was fantastic; had three different drivers over the weekend and did everything from back country Amish roads to the interstate. DMCMW did a great job with the Stage II and Josh at Delorean Industries put together one hell of an AC system. It was between 95F and 100F the whole trip and we kept cool the whole time.

My buddy and I posing our cars at the museum; we traded keys and looked for some twisty roads to have some fun on:

Murdered a good bit of the bug population in KY:

Next big trip is DCS.

roofbox rehab this past week and today.

noticed my roofbox was lifting in the rear.
pulled the t panel and access cover on the box.
sprayed a bunch of rust converter into the box, let it cure, then re-sealed the roof box access plate
took the louvers off and took the torsion bars out
drilled and installed bolts to the rear of the roofbox to secure it back down onto the body.
put everything back together and so far am very pleased with the results!

Fitted replacement horn and reversing sensor. Nice cheap mod which will be sure to come in handy.

Found out the engine cradle is rusting from the inside out!😫

Ouch...how'd you find that out?

Was peeking around taking measurements for a VR6 5 speed auto swap. Anyways, I looked inside the small drain hole that sits right above the rear lower control arm pivot point. The epoxy has failed due to stress, and is now peeling off of a rusty base...
