Stainless Parts and Fascia

[Turtlebarbeque]

Parts car is back. I apologize to anyone who tried to communicate with me earlier about parts and I did not get back to them. I sold some select pieces and had some trouble with shipping, finally resolved all issues and I now have remaining pieces to dispose of:

rear right fender
rear left fender
rear fascia
front fascia - sun and heat has warped part of front fascia
steering wheel
steering column (I don't how to remove it - so that could pose a problem)
right door (passenger side) this door has some dings in it (no torsion bars or hinges)
then ----- the dam frame. this is the frame, the fiber, and suspension for now - can be purchased by a lucky son of a %$#@@ that wants to transport it. (I am not separating wheels and suspension just yet in order to help move the frame) If you want this - first, do not insult me and offer $50.00 and make sure you can get it. Just west of Chicago, Il.

There are a couple of other misc stainless pieces and parts - front grill, the little metal strip in front of roof t-panel (who knows what the hell they call that), rocker panels - why, front spoiler, and license plate bezel.

I want to thank Mike at Delorean Motor Company Midwest in Crystal Lake - very helpful with some parts, extremely professional and easy to work with.

Sorry to those that were interested in T-Panel roof, have to ship that to Norway as a favor to someone - don't ask.

Once again, I apologize to anyone who tried to contact me before about parts, this has been a bigger project than I planned on and just could not get back in touch with all interested parties. Any of those individuals that are still interested, please contact me. (and I am saving the left door for that guy on DMC Talk in Oregon - some day I will drive out that way and we can make deal then - it make take several months or several years). email [email protected]

Thanks for keeping me in mind...

I have added some pictures. These pieces are almost too good to be put on a vehicle. In a perfect world they should be on display in someone's living room but, they are of course available for purchase and the buyer is free to use the pieces as they see fit. (that rear fender will make a great center piece or it can be put on a car I suppose)

It's a pity I live on the other side off the planet (Australia) that rear facia is so Mitch better than mine.

[Dangermouse]

Do you mind me asking the VIN of this car being parted out, so we know it's given its parts to help others live :)

[Turtlebarbeque]

A few more pics to entice would be buyers.
The spoiler is so nice, pondering attaching it to the Jeep Liberty in the driveway.

34431

And there is a nice grille. Unfortunately, the little DMC logo seems to have walked away.

34432

And these two yellow things, so cute.....

34433

There are a few more parts including a steering column but....Mike did not tell me how to take that off the car so you may have to buy the frame in order to get the steering column...If the sun shines today we'll take a look at it and see if my IQ is high enough to figure it out on my own (don't hold your breathe).

[Stainless]

Interested. Can you post prices and let us know where you're located? I assume in the NW based on the pics.

[Turtlebarbeque]

Sorry for not posting more pics and pricing earlier, just didn't know what parts are worth. I will post more pics and prices tonight. I have to take the kids into Chicago today for shopping and bonding time - sun is shining finally.

[Turtlebarbeque]

Here is a rough list of the prices for parts that are still available. (I am not sure what most items are worth so bare with me, finding reliable sales data is difficult, I mostly used eBay closed sales as a guide) I will not ignore any reasonable offer (reasonable).

Steering Wheel $165.00
Front Grill $150.00
Front Spoiler $110.00
Left Rear Fender $650.00
Right Rear Fender $650.00
Rear Fascia $825.00
Rocker Panels $72.50 Each (right one is still on car - it just doesn't want to let go)
Header Panel $205.00


I have a few more parts but I want to take them off the car and make them look pretty (technically, make sure they are in working order or damage free) before I sell them. (items left are stuff like the wheels and suspension parts, steering column and rack, the annoying washing fluid bottle, the master cylinder and attached servo-motor(maybe) unit thingy)

Mo pics are available if needed. Note - some items are on eBay now with slightly different prices (higher on eBay)
Sorry for sloppy post - some days I have lots-o-time and some days just too much work.

I have a Headlight Housing Assembly (I think that's what this is)

34476 34477

And these things (door sills) so cute - how can you resist buying one of these

34478 34479

And a front fascia (it is warped slightly above headlight assembly - some Delorean expert told me this is normal - but any reader of these posts knows by now just how little I know) The grill has been removed, sorry did not take new pics.

34480 34481 34482 34483

Front fascia for $550.00 sounds reasonable (to me)
Haven't got a dam clue what the sills or headlights are worth
impact absorbers for either bumper-fascia is available.

Note - heading to VA (that's Virginia) Monday (I guess late Sunday actually) from Chicago, If you are on this route and want any items listed - shipping is dirt cheap (maybe the cost of candy bar since I am going that way with parts already in the back and a few more shouldn't hurt my gas mileage)

I don't have wheel pics yet but I have 4 wheels. Leaving Sunday late - buy now for big items especially since shipping costs these days ^%$#s.

My recap (bad memory and all):
front and rear fascia
wheels
spoiler
grill
rear left and right fender
header panel
steering wheel (column and other crap are still on car - I do not have the technical proficiency to remove yet)
headlights
sills
rocker panels

[DMCMW Dave]

Rocker Panels $72.50 Each (right one is still on car - it just doesn't want to let go)



Drill the screws out. They never let go.

[DMCMW Dave]

There are a few more parts including a steering column but....Mike did not tell me how to take that off the car so you may have to buy the frame in order to get the steering column.).

Take out two bolts under the dash and it will drop. The hard part is getting the joints in the steering column that connect it to the rack to come apart.

[Turtlebarbeque]

Thanks for the help Dave but......I prefer to make someone buy the frame to get the steering column. My garden supplies are on the other side of the frame and I want to GET RID OF IT so....it will be one expensive steering column or .... I put the frame in the garden.

Truthfully, you guys really are very helpful - anytime I can return the favor, let me know. Thanks again.

[Turtlebarbeque]

Leaving for VA in morning - last chance for buyers who fall within the route to get the parts without shipping charges! (thats Chicago to Virginia)

They aren't posted, but I'll ask anyway....any interior parts?

Thanks!

[Turtlebarbeque]

Sorry, no interior parts on the car.

[Turtlebarbeque]

some pics of other pieces I have managed to disassemble from the parts car.
Power / Servo Unit (brake related - of course I don't know ^%$#!)
34741

Master Cylinder (they say it is also brake related)
34742

Hood Lift Thingy
34743

Still have the Darn Steering Wheel (and it is still attached to steering column - bit of mystery as how to get it off the column. Also have the column, u joint assy, and steering rack)
34744

Also still have:
Rocker Panel, Header Panel, Spoiler, Front Grill, Left Rear Fender, Right Rear Fender, Rear Fascia, Front Fascia, Door Sill, Right - Passenger Door (has a little ripple), Valances, and some misc brackets for the stainless parts
34745
34746
34747
34748
34749
34750
34751
34752

and these adorable little light things (worth at least a billion dollars)
34753

Looking for reasonable prices not outrageous with the exception of the little light things - those are costly. Once again, I apologize for my crappy communication skills, some weeks I have lots of time and some weeks time vaporizes. Some items are listed on eBay. Any questions please email [email protected]. Just west of Chicago. (However, I will not respond to one member, because the rear suspension is still intact since he would not help me remove it)

[Shep]

How much are you asking for the amber lenses (last item)? Interested in those.

Can't quite tell from the picture, but is the socket part (with the bulb, wires, plug, etc.) included? Do NOT need nor want those, so if they're still attached, you can remove them. Hold the lens with one hand, then push and twist the socket, and they'll come out quite easily. Leave them for someone else, since I have no use for them currently. :)

[Turtlebarbeque]

It appears the boys in Texas are selling one of these for ~ $33.00 but it includes the bulb and harness and all I have is the lens. So....$12.50 for one or $25.00 for both? Maybe thats too much, how about $11.50 for one and $20.00 for both. Very pretty piece worth at least 10 times that amount. Of course, you will have to pay shipping - they are light (ha..) and small so I am guessing shipping is around $3.00 - no mark up, whatever the post office charges me. (PS, if my number is too high just make me an offer - I hate getting rid of these things because they are so cute but...just let me know)

347563475734758

Frickin adorable!

[Shep]

I hate getting rid of these things because they are so cuteIf you want to keep 'em, keep 'em. Don't want to take something forcefully. :)

I can't tell of you're joking or serious there, but if you do want to sell, I'll take 'em both for $25 shipped. Send me a PM or shoot me an email (address on this page (http://vin559.com/contact)) and we can work out the details.

[Turtlebarbeque]

they are all yours

Do you mind me asking the VIN of this car being parted out, so we know it's given its parts to help others live :)


Truthfully, you guys really are very helpful - anytime I can return the favor, let me know. Thanks again.

cough, cough ;)

[Turtlebarbeque]

Ok
here's the explanation on why I have not responded to VIN request.
Someone is going to buy the frame and it will be their frame and VIN when that happens.
And am nervous that someone could use the VIN for other purposes.
Call me paranoid, crazy, lacking knowledge of car sales, out of my %$#@! mind if you want.
But, having the VIN floating around just didn't sit with me as being a wise decision.
And if I ignore the request, there is downside.
Some people have called and with questions and I gave them the VIN so they can verify whatever it is ... they verify?
If the vast majority of Delorean owners think I am nuts (well that wont mean anything because I am), I will post the VIN, otherwise I stil have some odd reservations about giving my VIN out to be posted. (I say again, maybe it is paranoia - but if you ask me for the VIN of my other 3 cars I wouldn't give them to you)

I feel uncomfortable submitting this post but you shamed in to this reply.

[Dangermouse]

No problem, if you don't want to do it. It's your car. No intention of shaming anyone; my post was just a reminder in case you have missed it.


You will note that all of the responders to this thread, bar one, have listed their vins in the side panel, and this is common across delorean forums worldwide.

Due to the rise of carfax et al, it is becoming increasingly common just to list the full vin, for any car, in the ad - just look at all the ebay ads for any make or model car. Keeps every one honest. In the D's case, the VIN is attached to the fiberglass tub, not the metal frame, and by posting it here, you may help a future owner from purchasing a "ringer" down the line, where some nefarious Dick Dastardly type person rebuilds the tub and claims it's "one careful lady owner".

But no-one will black-list you if you don't want to do it, so don't worry about that.

[Turtlebarbeque]

Took the wheels off. Had local auto guy separate tire from rim to review quality. Mostly look very good with one exception. 1 rim has exterior ... something...wearing....scuffing....deterioration. No dents on interior and other 3 have no exterior damage other than the paint or coating disintegrating.
For sale. Tires and rims. 2 go on the front and 2 go on the rear or you can really do what you want once you buy them. Sold rear fascia by the way. And....my associate stepped on the right rear fender....blind son of a &^%#$ just backed up and stepped on it. So I am knocking 8% off of price. Rims can be sold separately, as a set, with tires, without, Crocs in picture not included.

I apologize for not getting back about VIN. I will post VIN later tonight. It was a very good explanation and I appreciate the education.

[GR8SCOTT]

Rear Fascia $825.00

What overall condition is the paint?

[Shep]

they are all yours
email sent as requestedResponded to your email, but haven't heard back as of yet :)

[Turtlebarbeque]

Regarding rear fascia, as I stated in post about wheels. The rear fascia has been sold.

Re: gentleman on amber lights.
sorry for delay, I will throw those in a USPS priority box and take them to Naperville post office tomorrow. When I come back from post office I will send an email on where to send the dough.

[PlutonimicX]

Any chance you could post a picture of the passenger side door?

[Turtlebarbeque]

The passenger side door has a small but somewhat unpleasant ripple in it. It hardly seems noticeable in the pictures but it's there. (maybe I should down play it ....) I don't know if the local Delorean Boys can clean it up especially with the super star stainless European wizard flying into town. Of course, I know nothing about metal work. If you need more photos let me know, the sun was starting to set and my wife wanted me to clean up the garden. (oh, I didn't clean up the garden).
34800 34801 34802 34803 34804 34805 34806 34807

If you are interested, I may take some more pictures tomorrow. My vision sucks but you can hardly see the little ripple in these pictures and I am not interested in selling something without the buyer being completely confident about what they are getting.

[Rich_NYS]

The rear fascia has been sold.

...to someone else after agreeing with me on a price for both fascias and the steering wheel. I'm willing to believe mine is an isolated incident, but felt I should mention it anyway....heads-up.

[Turtlebarbeque]

Don't really want to get in a pissing match but ..... your last email was dated the 2nd and stated you would get back to me the next day. You did not. I did not take item off of eBay and a buyer made an offer and sent money on the morning of the 4th. I fail to see how that is my error. I'm sorry it did not work out but your dates were crystal clear, in fact, I was reluctant to sell to the new buyer but numerous people go back and forth with me and never consummate a deal. (I sold the part for less money to this new buyer after I waited for your follow up contact as instructed in the email dated June 2nd) Be clear - I sold it for less - it would hardly behoove me to blow you off to make less money.

Now - while I am a little angry (technically, very angry). I would be more than glad to make a deal with you on the other parts for a lower price. (squeezing the last dollar out of these parts is not my goal - I will be very happy to get a fair price so someone can use the parts)

[Rich_NYS]

Agreed....no need for a pissing match. Yes, on 6/2 I did say I'd get back to you the next day, but please include the remainder of that statement: "I'll get back with you tomorrow, I want to look over your other parts in case there's something else I want/need." I also asked how you'd prefer payment.

More importantly (on 6/2) was this: "Sounds good, consider it a deal.......etc." To me, it was a done deal, man. I assumed you're familiar with busy schedules and there wouldn't be an issue that I went to the following day, that part was my fault and I apologize.

I'm not looking to start a bunch of shit by posting this, and I'm willing to believe mine is an isolated incident, but I still feel it should be known here (that a parts transaction went awry.) And dude, not to beat a dead horse, but I'm baffled as to why you'd sell a part for a lower price when in my last two emails I asked how you'd prefer payment.


Bygones be bygones, I do appreciate the offer....that's admirable and I might take you up on it for the steering wheel. The rear fascia is all I really needed; I was only going to buy the front to ensure a no-hassle paint color match.

Thanks for the reply,

Rich

[delgato]

Is the frame still for sale?

I have tried to PM you a few times and have not got any response.

If it is still available I would to talk with you about it and check it out.

I do live in Chicago so I could get to wherever you are easy enough.

[Lwanmtr]

Where are you located?
