What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[DMC5180]

Put some finishing touches on my SS replacement Upper Rear window screen. It's the one from DMCEU I purchased it from DMCMW at DCS10. While the part is nice looking in the main part (slotted areas) the Exposed lower lip flange has lots of wavy ripples from forming and a generally unfinished look. I fixed that today and cured the unsightliness of the three attaching screws. While I was at it, I hid the wires running from my twin third brake lights. The final result is a near factory look for a few bucks.

Greased my sway bar poly bushings, in hopes of getting rid of a mystery squeak my car has while turning.

Moved the car (under its own power!) to get some filming done for a student project. Idle is still pretty rough, but that will be the subject of some more troubleshooting later this week...

I changed both bearings in the A/C belt tensionner...

Renewed the tags for another two years.

Took the Craig out through the vents. What a horrible job. Complete nightmare removing the little screw.

Glued the a-pillar trim pieces to the fiberglass since most of the extra vinyl got cut off with the windshield.

Modified the rear view mirror power harness for the new auto-dimming + HomeLink unit. (I had previously installed just an auto-dimming mirror)

Removed both passenger door latches. Modified them to allow locking while the latches are open. Then reinstalled.

Cleaned all old goop from the vapor barrier off the passenger door stainless.

Drilled holes in passenger door and latch bellcrank for the finally-being-installed-2004-DPNW-door-launchers.

Headlights stopped working out of the blue the other day.

I was pretty sure it wasn't the fuses because low high beams were gone too but I checked anyway. Both were fine.

So it's probably the switch - great that's $90 and it functions differently than stock.

So i took off the climate control panel to remove the old switch on the off chance I could repair it. Reached behind the console to detach the wiring harness and low and behold, IT WAS ALREADY DISCONNECTED.

Re-connected the harness, Re-installed the climate control panel. Problem solved.

Lesson learned - Check the simplest thing first.

Cheers,
Steve

Dropped it off at DMC Midwest for some cosmetic work along with a little mechanical stuff. Received pictures back from Dave of the dent removal process. They perform magic in that shop.

when i bought the car 13 years ago it had a ding in the passenger door, and a quarter sized ding in the rear passenger quarter. its been a long time coming and I can't begin to express how excited I was when Dave sent these pictures over.

Also on the schedule is a new windshield, wheels, preventative 5th gear bolt tightening, full inspection and fluid flush. once back home, new dash, signal/wiper switches, weather stripping, and some other odds and ends.
