Yeah, I figured as much. Was hoping that wasn't the case. That is the price I pay for being married to my Craig.Quote:

I think the limiting factor is the really crappy 33 year old Asi radio in my car but I just don't want to swap it out with a modern unit.Quote:

I'm getting the noise with the car off, so it isn't alternator whine. Here is what it sounds like:Quote:

If you aren't hearing this, then it must be interference from a power source like you said.
Mine definitely doesn't make that noise. I'm set to 87.9MHz and don't have any location stations near there. With the preamp on or off (there's a button for this on the Asi radio) I can hear some noise like static pops and very quiet hiss with the stereo cranked to 11, but nothing like what yours is doing.Quote:

Unfortunately when I went to grab it, it turned to powder. So I ended up cleaning the whole thing over again. I wish I had arms that were a tiny bit skinnier and a tiny bit longer.
Got a spare set of keys made at Ace for 1729.
Got the passenger door on 1045 to open after it failed to open since last summer. Promptly pulled the battery out and will drop it off for test/charge tomorrow.
Discovered that I need to buy new louvre struts.
Double checked distributor position.
Installed new ignition module.
Verified fuel.
Failed to start engine.
Took the wife for her very first drive in the DeLorean ;)

It's from a 86-90 C4 Corvette.GM part # 918411. Discontinued by GM; I got it on ebay from a member here. They are available online. I was insistent that it look stock, I think this does the job very well.Quote:

Swapped out the Special T luggage compartment struts that were in 1729 for the used DMC OEM struts from 10077. I was amazed at the difference. Even in today's cool weather they're holding the bonnet up rigidly. Not sure how old the Special T struts were but they barely held the bonnet in place for a second before it started to drop back down.
OUCH!Quote:

Be careful with your door handles then! You don't want them to snap in two, do you?

I've been going strong so far this winter not peeking under the car cover every day. This cold weather is killer though and I've already got the bug to get out and drive the DeLorean. It'll be at least another 2 months before the snow and salt is gone.
I was also looking through some pics from when I restored the frame and chassis parts... Here are a few before and after shots.
