What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Trying to find time to work on the Delorean, even when doing landscaping.

Engine swap?

I made sure it was still in the garage... just confirming its existence.

Yes

I removed my rear louvre and due to the age of this , it was faded so bad that the only course to make it look good was to repaint it. I wanted a little more shine than the flat black so I opted for stain black. This added a little gloss but not overboard. The removal and repainting was a snap --reinstalling was another issue. Thanks to an old post by David Teitelbaum telling how to reinstall the job was finished---as I said the reinstallation is a little tricky. I also cleaned up the engine cover and the motor area, all in all the job came out well.

Do you mean satin black? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of re-doing mine in the proper matte black and I just want to make sure I know what I'm talking about.

Yes I did mean satin black, it gave the louvre a bit of a wet look. I thought about gloss paint but I was afraid that would be too much shine.

When my PO bought the car from the PPO, the louver was full gloss - it looks okay, but it's a bit much in my opinion. I like the original look and would like to go back to that, so I guess it would just be a matte black trim paint.

I can't find it being discussed anywhere on here, which I figured it has got to be somewhere, so move this as necessary...

Did anyone watch the premiere of the Michael J Fox show last night?

What did you think?

Not wanting to say anything blasphemous or anything on this sort of forum, being MJF is somewhat beloved, but to sum up my opinion, I switched the football game back on after about 6 minutes, maybe 7 tops.
