Have that one on DVD, indeed great show, I can appreciate they "repect" the Delorean.
Only their trip to an DMC (carlifornia?) they buy parts of the shelf, incl a binnacle which is not available like that.
But for the rest I've seen it 7 or 8 times already.

And they didn't include the replacement carpet and shift boot in their parts list when tallying up everything at the end.

What about Edd ...
Okay, they go out and buy a car that needs some work then start buying parts to make repairs. At the end the costs are totaled but they never include Edd's time. What's up with that? The labor to make these repairs would probably be more than the parts. The Delorean episode is great!

I think the point they are trying to make is to consider the operation like house flipping. The cost of the car and the parts is all that matters as the labor is free by the owner. Can a person buy a car, fix it up being conscious of budget and using used parts if possible and still sell the car at profit. Don't think of Edd as a professional mechanic here but rather a knowledgeable weekend mechanic.

That was a fun episode to watch..... Yup, that's all I got out of that. Just gotta take it for what it is. My question: Is the person who bought the car a member on this site?

DMC California does have binnacles available, and has for quite a long time. They're leather, but since there's a core for your old binnacle, they undoubtedly have some good condition vinyl ones on hand. I have a leather one from them sitting next to my coffee table that I bought late last year.

do you remember what you paid and what core charge was?

Just checked my receipt: $375 with a $150 core charge as of October 26, 2012. I do not know if this price has changed now that Cameron has joined their staff, but that's what I paid for it.

Thanks, that's a fair price. I think I spent around that much to have mine recovered.
