Should I go and replace it?

Congrats on that milestone.

Yes, replace/repair if you haven't got a working temp gauge on the instrument panel. Otherwise your first hint of a cooling system concern while under way might be steam from the engine bay, seen in your rear view mirrors. Would be sad to warp anything on that nice rebuild.

That is very nice! Where did you get it from? A vendor or a local guy that redid the one in your car?


Today I bled my clutch. It had only been 2 years and 4,000 miles, but you can definitely tell a difference between the first bottle of fluid bled and the last!

yes I got it from a local guy who previously did a couple of Delorean steering wheels along with other parts (including a full leather interiors Delorean)

I really like the way he recover steering wheels because they don't look "puffy" as other vendors ones... this is because he uses a special tool to "shave" the old leather and he measures with a gauge the right thickness to shave..

plus it's made of classy italian leather :D

+1 I'd love to upgrade/refurbish my wheel but the vendors seem to charge a lot for it. Maybe it's reasonable given the labor involved but I'd love to explore other options before making that call :)

Did a wedding surprise for the groom!

Replaced the battery in my car and rigged up a battery tender to keep it maintained.

Drove it to Taco Bell and Goodwill. Then went to Tractor Supply to buy weed killer.

VIN 3205 looks beautiful ;)
