What have you done to your DeLorean today?

When the headliner was replaced by the PO, who ever did it reconnected the front dome light incorrectly (*see below). While the ON mode worked, the AUTO mode did not but I didn't notice as I had immediately switched to LED internally when I got the car (LED's don't dim with the stock dimmer module).

I installed BitSyncMaster's "dome light dimmer/parade" module ready for the 4th July parade. BitSyncMaster was very kind in helping me diagnose my mis-wired front dome light, which since it wasn't wired correctly didn't let the module work correctly. Many kudos to BitSyncMaster :notworthy:

Everything is working perfectly just in time for the 4th July :cheers1:

* Toggle was connecting Purple to Ground (ON) and Purple-White to Ground, instead of Purple to Ground (ON) and Purple to Purple-White (AUTO).

Not sure if this qualifies as it took longer than a day :wiggle:

Nice work! I have a similar setup.

Do you have any photos of how you tackled the internals, i.e. did you apply a different approach?

I think you will dent the stainless before budging the torsion bar with a screwdriver butt.

I'll only trying to put them on the rear hinge of the doors. It's fairly thin rubber, but think enough to not slide between the gap.

So I can put a bit of force without breaking the bar?

Installed a new fuel pump pick up hose and inserted a 7/16 coil spring inside it to prevent the new one from collapsing, Ive yet to test but I hope it will cure my off idle stall that i occasionally get at stop lights, I doubt very much however that it was the culprit.

Now back onto the front suspension :tongue_stick:

Installed a replacement radio antenna (Metra 44-PW22). Picked it up on eBay for $22.00. The local auto part stores sell them for double the price. I had the same brand of antenna in my car before, except the mast on the replacement is silver (my old one was gray). The box says the mast is stainless, so I guess that's better than gray. Since it was the same antenna, no wiring mods were required. Here's the eBay auction for reference (use the "Best Offer" feature):

Reinstalled the rear quarted panel. Tonight is the T panel and rear fascia, then a test-fit of the new headliners. Hopefully tomorrow is a clutch install and get her moving again!

Got my center console back from my body shop, test fit it in the car.

got clipped by a hit and run the other day. then someone stole my front grill. Not really what I did to my car but what someone else did to it. Bunch of savages in this town.
