Drove it to work. Almost got run down by a giant Brinks cash truck whose driver was taking pictures of me. I thought those guys were supposed to be unflappable?
Took a few minutes when I got home to install something I've been wanting for years....
Thanks, David!

Ordered a set of the side sill letters from the Eurotec forum. Great price!

Just ordered on of these things. 1258s about to become a daily driver...I moved over the summer to a small studio apartment (location, location, location) without a garage, so the car has been outside all the time since then. On Monday I finally picked up a car cover for it.
I like this cover, it's definitely quality, and it fits the Delorean perfectly.
It was $73 at NAPA, after tax and AAA discount. Size B.

I had got one also, amazon had them for 53.
Mines a daily driver also, be extremely careful with hot tail pipes.
They go through this cover like butter.
I grazed them while installing the cover after a drive once.
The holes are in places that don't matter and I can patch them, but still it was brand new only had used it 3 times.

$53?!?! Doh!
Oh well. Too late now. Thanks for the info about the tailpipes, I'll make sure to be careful.

Good advice. I always leave my cover folded up halfway up the louvres until the engine cools off.I had got one also, amazon had them for 53.

When I bought my D, driver side window didn't work. It wouldn't open. I just hear the clicking noises. So today I took the door apart and found a broken plastic part between tube and motor. I added a metal brace (took me about 2 hours of trial and error) and now it works perfect. Saved $300.
