What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Bob,

This might be helpful: Attachment 22958 I have not used it and credit all goes to the author but it looks well written with pictures. Good luck.

Put the door strut onto the new bracket. The doors now look like they open the same amount on both sides. The passenger side always looked lower than the drivers side. Both my doors do not open fully at 55 degree F today but do stay fully open if I help them. I also may play with those top seals. The seals do bind (I think they are too wide on the rubber). My drivers side also lifts the T-panel.

Installed the passenger side door gas strut bracket. This is the bracket from Heninger so it installs without removing the 1/4 panel. I bought both sides but wondering why the drivers side does not get bent like the passenger side. Every car I've seen has the passenger side that needs a new bracket.

Just received mine today, the list of winter jobs is getting longer....! (PX side also)

Installed half of the eyebrow minimizer kit from DeLorean Upgrade Parts:

The instructions are pretty terrible but this isn't really rocket surgery.

I would say they knocked the problem back about 75% but no more.

As my car is with Eddie, we (Jessica, the owner, and myself) helped VIN 10480 do this for the first time since 2008:

sounds pretty rough

Don't worry, it'll run great once Eddie is done with it. As he told me: "Jeremiah, just get it to where it can be started and driven on a transport. That's all I need."

He'll be doing a full on EFI conversion on it. For not being started in 4-5 years, I think it's pretty good . That video was taken just as the engine was able to idle on its own power.

The look on the owner's face when she saw her baby start up again was worth all 6.5 hours to me .

Her face...?

Single? How old?
