I finally got the smile machine on a lift this past Sunday to detail the underside. Thought I'd show her off.

That looks amazing! Super clean. Give Stephen a run for his money. But, it definitely highlights why you don't use a bottle jack on the engine cradle.Originally Posted by C.Bennett

Haha. Yep. That was before my time. Sadly, there's no such thing as a perfect DeLorean.That looks amazing! Super clean. Give Stephen a run for his money. But, it definitely highlights why you don't use a bottle jack on the engine cradle.

There may not be such a thing as a perfect DeLorean but it makes me smile every time I see a "near-perfect" car like yours.

Thanks Dana. I try. I've got Ben (Soundkillr) to thank for taking such beautiful care of the car for the past 19 years before I bought it from him last year. Working to perfect every last detail while obsessively keeping it as original as possible. I've got a handful of things to do to it now before I say "it's as good as it's ever going to get". Very proud of her.Very ...very... nice Colin!

Finally wired in my Grand Cherokee chime module. I used a 4 pole relay to send a negative signal to the module for a headlights on chime.

What type of lift is that? It looks a lot like my Direct Lift 8S. Looking good!

I believe it's a Direct Lift "Four Post" lift. I'm not entirely sure which model it is, but knowing the garage owners, it'll probably be the best model.What type of lift is that? It looks a lot like my Direct Lift 8S. Looking good!
