What ended up being the problem with it not starting?

Today drove it for an hour (well, 2 30 min trips) with no issues. ran like a champ.
earlier this week, i needed to recharge the battery as it was sitting at 11.75v from sitting for a few weeks and only going on short drives.

took a lot longer to charge than i thought it would but once it was finally charged, the car ran great and the voltage needle never dipped below 13v while driving. even while idling at lights with the blinker on (where before it was starting to dip into the 11-10v range)
also found a 4" SnapOn Awl stuck under the main wire harness in the fuse/relay compartment. I'm fairly sure it's been there since 2000 when the car was getting reconditioned at Delorean One just before the PO bought it. Think Ed might want it back? :)
Valve adjustment on 10372...sounds nice!
Today: Aftermarket wheels ordered and DMC Fuel Pump/Sender Combo delivered. Excited to get 2812 back on the road!
Found out (the hard way) that brake cleaner dissolves the plastic part of the horn!
- Adjusted / aimed my headlights (oddly he said that they were heavily aiming downward)
- Completed my parcel shelf refurb / grille thing!
