1) Install rear side light blinkers.
2) Design and build my prototype LED board for the AC center console.
3) Install my new LCAs with new lower and upper ball joints.

Several months ago I bought a NOS right fender with no antenna hole. The one on my car has the hole welded and grained but its still visible under certain lights. So the only thing I have to do this year is swap fenders.

Wow. Bit OCD are we?

Does the graining of the holeless fender match the rest of the car?

- Get around to installing the jack cover I got from a guy a while back
- Put the torsion bar back in the glovebox
- Rewire third taillight
- Strip paint from and clear-coat bottom of engine cover
- Install 600W amp and 6x9's in rear parcel shelf, all mounted on MDF board, using stock Craig radio and harness from videobob (might need a bigger alternator for that)
- LED bulb upgrades all around, including angel eyes (headlight bulbs excluded until LED's get feasibly bright enough)
- Blinking side marker mod
- Design. build, and install removable clip-on BTTF vents for car shows, events, and (maybe) limited driving
- Finally get a flux capacitor
- Upgrade headlight switch to one with a built-in relay
- Clean up discoloration on caulking in rear window
- Wings-a-loft, (possibly) Lockzilla
- Add a sub with a suitable amp (again, using stock Craig radio)
- Replace binnacle with leather unit
- Add heated mirrors
- Create and install info placards in the now empty space once occupied by the bonnet carpeting, so spectators don't have a blocked view with one sitting in front
- Most importantly, drive and enjoy it!

Remove the red paint
Sew seat skin for passenger seat
Recover dash and binnacle
VOD and replace all coolant hoses
Drive her a lot

Definitely not in any particular order.

Finish, install, and start road testing the electronic backlit instrument cluster.

-Get new resonated exhaust tips fabricated and installed
-Install new warm-up regulator
-Change belts and main hoses
-Have wheels refinished and powder-coated, and install new centre caps
-Install PJ Grady positive SS DMC logo door sill letters
-When the wheels are removed, give the wheel wells and frame a good clean up, and also check angle-drive

The car needs lots of other things, but I'll leave it at that for now.

I have 4 major projects to do before I start driving regularly again.

Fuse box replacement and update
Complete twin throttle body conversion
Fix rear camber with adjustable upper links
Fix front suspension with new control arms.


This of course is made up of many smaller steps that will create even more projects, It never ends.....

I was hoping 2013 would be the year I finish my Honda Z600 project but I have doubts I can get to it when the Delorean is being so needy.

Drive it, drive it, drive it. I might put in the passenger side A1 regulator if the mood strikes me one day. Finally add the subwoofer? Maybe the new fuel pump/sender unit if I have any pickup hose problems.

Guess the crux is that I have no real plans outside of driving and enjoying, barring any unexpected issues :)

[Nick774]

finish the rebuild... I cant stress it enough. only 96.9% of the car left to finish :banghead:

[Morpheus]

-Finish tearing down/ re-building my motor
-Tear down / re-build transmission
-Powder coat frame / suspension components
-Have a rolling chassis ready for re-unification with body before July.

Well, I'm still waiting on my car to arrive in the UK, so I guess the big thing is getting it registered and UK Legal!
