What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Today I sandblasted the AC pulleys, painted them, and pressed in new bearings from Hervey. Put on a new alternator belt for the AC (yep, DMCH mixed up the bags, so my AC belt bag really has an alternator belt in it). Pulled the pencil/eraser out of the CO adjustment port and put in a real plug from DMCH.

Went for a ride with my buddy and the car died a few miles from home. Strong smell of gasoline. Uh oh! On a whim, I rolled it backward after letting it sit for a few and saw a puddle of gas up at the front end. A friend brought by some tools and after opening the access port, it was just a matter of putting a fuel line back on and tightening it down. This time I tightened properly. Oops.

Got home, decided to go get some tires and went for a 25 mile drive to the tire shop and got a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires in the front. Nobody local had any for the back in stock so they will wait. Time to get rid of that 31 year old rubber.

I don't know if anybody is interested in a set of original hoops with 3900 miles (3900.8 at the tire shop -at least for the front), but I have pictures posted on my website: http://www.nerdhouse.org/tires/

No clue what the white crap is on the tread. Must've been something they rolled in at the tire shop.

So now I'm starting to assemble an emergency road tool kit so that I'm not stranded again. I'm also learning to use a nut driver like a boss so I don't have a repeat of today's fun and games.

Thats it Rich, thank you Sir.

Just came out of Walmart a little bit ago to find this on my DeLorean's windshield. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/16/emenuzev.jpg

Took the rear fascia off to get a better look at some things.....wood screws really? lol I was wanting to know if there is anything I can use to recover the impact absorber to give it a clean look and can someone give me the part # to the support plate under/behind the fascia? Mine is toast. Thanks.

That's an interesting exhaust you have there... lol. I recently refurbished my impact absorbers, I outlined the process in this thread. I had chunks missing out of the rear that I re constructed with spray foam as well.

i would love to help with the support plate but i do not know what you are referring to. If I recall correctly, the fiberglass back wall for the engine bay is no longer available if that is what you are talking about.

I am in the process of putting the factory exhaust back on it now. The last owner had cherry bombs welded up to a small custom bent pipe coming off the manifold. In this pic I only had the one side off so far, the other sides bolts are really rusted bad so I'm taking it slow.

Rebuilt steering rack, tie rod ends, replaced angle drive. Getting ready to replace radiator, all rubber hoses, horns, rebuild front end wiring after PO hack job, and cooling fans. Until then, working on pulling the engine and transmission out for rear seal replacement and all other "while your in there seals" :)

This was done today.
