    Looks good! Your carpet is covering your floor vents on the drivers side (tuck it under), and make sure that's just surface rust on your LCAs before you go driving it too hard Really nice car, congrats!

    Yeah, that lower control arm has me a bit concerned, but I won't know the condition until it's delivered on my doorstep. I can't see where the floor vents are in any of the pictures... where is it supposed to be? Just want to make sure I can get at it quickly.

    Just on the top of the center tunnel behind the HVAC control stack. The little flap of carpet sticking up above the fiberglass tunnel is supposed to tuck underneath the vent, it's a 2 second tool-free job and you'll see/feel it as soon as you look.

    Um... where's that? Is it on the left side by the exterior, or the right side by the center console, or on the front somewhere?

    Well I'll be, I can attach a lot more than I originally thought. I might have the wheels reversed, but I'm guessing those are horns I'm looking at on the front.
    What a cool early Delorean you have there! That suspension looks like it needs some attention. WOW is that inside clean!!

    Just thought I'd post a little update: earlier today, VIN 559 was loaded on the truck and is making its way here! There were a few problems getting it on the truck, but no damage as far as I'm aware. New damage, at least; there's some wear and tear that I knew about prior to purchase. We'll see what it's like when it gets here. Estimates are Saturday the 12th. Can't wait!

    EMDF, sorry if this has been asked already, but what documentation is coming with the car? Have you been told of any unique history? There is bound to be some with that VIN.
