This is true... I've had my muffler off a few times without removing the fascia.Quote:

On Thursday, put my driver's door back together. My DeLorean doors now have all the trim back on them and look complete again for the first time since September 12, 2012.

It sure can. I'm dreading taking mine apart again in the Spring to deal with the lock sticking.Quote:

Oil and filter change, and replacement of the leaky gauge pressure sender today. That old sender was a pain to remove! Ended up having to vice grip it off after it starting spinning freely inside itself (there's another "frustration" thread about that from earlier today)!
Old filter and sender. You can see it's been leaking for some time:

New filter and sender installed. I extended the wiring to accomodate the new connector style (spade vs. ring), put on a new connector, and sleeved it with icorally tubing and heat shrink:

I know it's still oily there; that will be cleaned off soon! :wink: The sender throwing me for a loop made the job take much longer than I anticipated and I ran out of time before I had to call it a day this afternoon. In theory there shouldn't be any "new" oil coming out of there anymore, so hopefully once I clean it up it will stay that way!
I would almost make my car a Jeep before doing that again. Man alive.....Quote:

I called up Julee at MW and ordered some new wheel caps, belts, fir trees, a new interior rear-view mirror, and a warm-up regulator. Trouble is, the WUR is on back order and there are six orders ahead of me! I will be sending the core in asap. Also, I'm going to install my new stainless door sill letters from PJ Grady.
If you think your WUR is not okay, why not open it yourself and look into it.Quote:

I had never opened one and yet I've cleaned and restored a number up to now.
They all are still doing their job.
My only advise is: use good and undamaged screwdrivers.
You also may have to correct/replace some of the wires.
But it's all doable.
Because I have a tendency to ruin things lol. I'll be lucky if I can even get the thing out of the car, let alone rebuild it! But, the thought had crossed my mind - we'll see.Quote:
