ALEXAKOS, Dale E Funk had posted on the 'DeLorean Fanatics' Facebook page that he was doing work on a few cars and mentioned that he was removing the engine from VIN 941, He later showed this picture to remind everyone why he had to remove the engine in the first place. This car with the fire isn't new.

Wow, I've always thought the stainless panels on the DeLorean were fairly thick (never really felt them in real life), but the pictures in this thread make them look like tinfoil. How thick are the panels, exactly?

Razor sharp certainly, but I would say that they are thicker than modern-day cars.
The above car was hit by the "bumper of a Budget truck", so I am thinking the fabricated checkerplate square rear bumper that you see on tehse rental trucks, which would certainly explain the panel damage and the rear wheel knocked out of alignment

According to the internet the panels are 22 gauge, or .030". I just put a set of calipers on my fender and hood and it seems correct. It's tough to find a spot where there wouldn't be any stretching or change in material thickness from when the parts were pressed.

So aside from the body damage do we know why the rear wheel and rear quarter are no longer where they belong in relation to each other? And in the upper photo we see the left wheel is toed out a lot.
A guess is that this car lost its left TAB at medium/high speed starting a chain of events that resulted in this.
Any info on what really happened here?
Hopefully this is no-one on here
