Did a very successful "Elvis" modification to my door lock controller. New diodes, resistors and transistors. Word to the wise, when doing those transistors check your BCE terminals very carefully to avoid having to remove and reverse them like I did :)
Next stop, reduced standby current and a much happier battery!
With help of fellow Rocky Mountain DeLorean club members (Dan, Matt, and Clint - thanks), worked on suspension and added lots of new parts - lowering springs, four shocks, rebuilt brake calipers, new brake pads, tie rod ends, lower ball joints and front wheel bearings, Firestone tires, SS brake lines, and lots of cleaning and some repainting of suspension parts. Great improvement all around.
Did some scratch removal with the blending pads. Sprayed underneath the rear-end and degreased. Applied some AutoGlym leather conditioner. Maybe I'll take it for a spin later.
Prepped cold start valve for re-installation - new o-ring. Added missing screw to trim piece above rear window - discovered that trim piece is cracked on the passenger side above the screw and roof tab (which explains why my roof panel on that side doesn't sit flush).
Investigated weakening luggage compartment cable - found a broken strand. Removed entire assembly (so I wouldn't lock myself out of the compartment accidentally) and removed inner cable from main carrier.
Good time to add a backup cable?Quote:

Removed my new radiator duct, removed the lower radiator support brackets, bent them back into the right shape, and reinstalled everything. Now the duct fits!
Heard a really bad rattle while the engine is running. Thought maybe the exhaust was coming loose or maybe a bracket coming undone. Found out that there was a small rock stuck between the muffler and heat sheild causing the vibrating noise.
