What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Seriously? I thought most of them were correct.

Not in our experience around here, they're off by way more than 5! :)

Pulled my fascia and muffler so it could go off to ceramic coating this week. Also sprayed down the bottom half of the engine with brake cleaner to try and track this pesky oil seep. One day I'll actually have a motor that doesn't do this, lol

What is the number on the Frame Tag? It's located inside the Drivers side frame rail in front of the bumper cross member.

The funny thing is one of my original front speakers had a little orange sticker with 4539 on it as well. I thought it was a replacement speaker bought at some point in Red's life but it may have been factory original.

Hey Kenny,

Are you going to do some work to your 101764 lower support bracket?

I have seen a few people on here with that metal strip on their project list, and I am one of them.

I got it off and realized it was in pretty bad shape. And only 1 of the 7 studs epoxy'ed into the fascia are intact. That's another portion of the job to get the new one installed.

Attachment 16802

The giveaway on my car is you could see the 8 symmetrical holes on the rear fascia weren't all lined up anymore. I think when I took it apart, only 3 of the 7 studs were still attached at all (and 2 of those snapped getting it apart).

What is it that makes these things disintegrate on our cars? Just from all that heat off the muffler alone?

So what y'all think of those numbers?

I'll check tomorrow. A storm just rolled in. I hope this isn't going to be another set of days off where I get absolutely nothing done.

Yeah, I'm planning to pull it off to clean it up if possible or build another if it isn't. I think the heat just burns the metal's protection (if any) off and then lets the rust eat it away.

I'd be worried about the history of your D mate - DeLoreans were not manufactured to that kind of standard :wink:

Surely 1 out of 9200 could accidentally match. :)
