What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Do you have a power antenna installed or was there one there? This notches on your vent fins are usually hand filed into the vent to allow the power antenna to clear past the vents. If you have a power antenna and repair those notches or replace the vent, the antenna will not be able to fully extend and could either get damaged or damage the vent.

I am not talking about the clearancing that was done. It's hard to from the picture but it looked damaged. Like they got sloppy with the clearancing or something else happened at some point.

Almost got it out the other day with the crazy warm weather we'd been having up here in WI.

But then we got 10" of snow, so it's still in sleep mode along with the E46 wagon.

I replaced the door roof seals with the kit from DMCH that includes the correct sized pop rivets. It was a bit of a slow process with slowly drilling out the old pop rivets, cleaning up the brackets, and getting everything lined back up again, all while taking care of the torsion bar. I did this as a "while I'm in there" while I had the t-panel off to bolt down the roof box.

I opted to use original-sized pop rivets instead of going with screws. I'm happy to report that I avoided any damage to the stainless skin of the door, which was my main area of concern.

Fixed two problems. One, I couldn't turn the heat on, wouldn't budge past maybe 1 o clock on the dial. Also, my radio wasn't working.

Went in and removed the whole center console to get to everything. Radio turned out to just be a fuse. It was only a 2.5A fuse, feels a bit weak, so replaced it with a 5A. Placed the cables so I can reach it through the footwell in the future. When having everything apart, the heat dial finally freed up. Feeling the wire when operating it, I think the screw on the other end might have got stuck on the underside of the dash/glovebox area somewhere. Anyway, I got it all back together and now everything there works. Went ahead and installed a new head unit with a built in phone holder and bluetooth. Put the microphone behind the steering wheel, so now I can actually talk on the phone in the car.

Still left to figure out:
My lambda system is still not operating properly. I will have to measure that the grounds are ok. Nobody seems to be able to explain what would cause my issue. No FV buzz or signal in diag plug, except when pressing the wot switch. Then it buzzes away. Tried a second ECU, same issue.
