What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[dmc6960]

Finished the first heated and cooled seat. This seat is the passenger seat, so I'll be driving to DCS with the drivers and passenger seats swapped. The heater also is not hooked up yet, and the controller for the cooling is also not built yet. So for now it'll just have an on/off for the cooling fans at full speed. An update coming tonight at the seat thread...

Hell of a weekend. Removed the engine and transmission. Degreased and cleaned the entire frame and every plated part in sight, all of which came back to a really nice yellow shine. Tore off the manifold, valve covers, timing cover, oil pan and crankcase. New gaskets on all of the above. Resealed the brass plug on the passenger side of the timing cover. New rear main seals. New A/C idler pulleys and o-ring. New pilot bearing. New clutch master and backup hood release cable. Flushed the clutch system. Tied up all the new A/C lines to the frame under the cradle where they belonged, but we couldn't reach when doing the replacement initially. Replaced all the bushings in the shift linkage. Tapped two stripped bolt holes (one in my manifold, one in my throttle body) so they seal better. Finally replaced the passenger side TAB, which was very bent. Did the drivers side a few months back and it was fine.

Right now the motor is on a stand half full with oil on its side to leak-test the new gaskets. Tonight I clean up the garage and find all my tools again, tomorrow I will rotate the motor to the other side. This week Clint is rebuilding the transmission (all new seals, o-rings, gaskets, roll pins, end nuts, bellows, you name it) and next weekend we will reassemble everything, with a new slave cylinder, clutch, throw-out bearing, pressure plate and flywheel.

Time permitting we also hope to remove the rear quarter panels and replace the ball stud brackets, then bolt down the roof box and possibly re-cover and replace the headliners.

Couldn't have done any of it without David and Clint's help! More accomodating friends never existed.

June is an exciting month for 2100...

Had a great time helping out Jon, although Clint was definitely the expert calling the shots. I learned a ton. The more I learn about this car the more I realize how much I don't know. Looking forward to getting it all back together.

I'm so sore I could barely move this morning and my hands may never come clean. But it was the best weekend I've had in years!

Car is cleaned, packed and tire pressure, oil level and coolant level have been checked. I like packing a little early because I keep thinking of things I forgot while I'm still at home.

Acid application #15, removed first chunks of broken tap from hole. If I can get the tap out tomorrow I will be in line to get her to DCS.
