What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Took the hood off. Sheared all of the rock screen studs... sheared all of the front wing studs but one. Ill drill those and replace with stainless hardware anyways. Broke 2 rivets out of the fiberglass while trying to get the fenders off. No issues removing the rear fascia since I used stainless hardware these.

What dou you mean by the "front wing studs"? Do you meat the studs imbedded in the bumpers? If so, you can grind out the remaining rusty pieces and install replacements using polyurethane window adhesive. Been there, done that, it worked. If you are a belt and suspenders person you could reinforce with some window screen placed over the stud and glued to the inside of the bumper. But I don't think that is necessary. This avoids drilling through the bumpers.

If you are thinking of something else ... never mind

Hahaha my bad I meant front spoiler. I was tired while writing that. I plan on just drilling through and replacing it with stainless bolts. I don't trust gluing stuff.

Polyurethane is amazing stuff and works REALLY WELL for the plated studs in the bumpers/fascia. If the SS bolts are hidden then I agree. But if it doesn't work for you down the road (literally) then you can drill. I prefer to do the destructive steps as the last step. Not the first. Just my 2 cents worth.

My car took part in a short commercial video for an 80s T-shirt company.

Got the last bolt off of the front spoiler. Took the front fascia off. The YouTube video I watched was missing removing the nuts from 2 the sides of the fascia. I took the 2 front fenders off.

I tried walnut blasting but it wasnt strong enough with fine grit to be economically viable. I got a very small section of the hood done with about 20ish pounds. it didn't damage the stainless so it might have limited uses. I then proceeded to use citriplus on the fenders and drivers side.

Today I started the installation of my new speakers. My radio sounds worse than the car in "Christine", so I'm replacing the speakers and refurbing the Craig deck. First up was the passenger rear.

A heat gun on low setting and patience worked like a charm on the armrest trim panel glue:

The old Craig speaker. It was completely shot.

The old one next to the new Kicker KS410

I found that the Kicker speakers fit in the bracket well, and had the same connectors. Plug and play!
Installed

While I had the trim panel off, I cleaned and securely attached the connection to the rear window defogger.

I used the heat gun and contact cement to re glue the trim panel. One speaker down, 3 to go!
