Can: Make it around all the switchbacks with only modest amounts of clunking and clanking
Can: Run in 3rd gear all day pretty happily
Cannot: Do either of those things without making my wife want to barf
Cannot: Keep up with two motorheads in Z cars :)

Took the D for one last drive before it went back into hibernation. I'm moving to Calgary this week and the DeLorean will remain behind in Ontario for the time being. On the positive side of things though, I'm really excited to stop in and see Dave and Julee on my way out West. For two people I've never yet met in person, I feel like I've known them forever :)

Also enjoyed a great afternoon of torsion bar adjustment (on Jon & Clint's cars) and a drive. Great weekend!

Pulled it out of the paint booth and rinsed some dust off...

..now, lots of elbow grease.

PAID IT OFF!

Took six months, but it is now mine outright. :)

awesome, congratulations! :headbang:

Congrats, Accipiter! I bet that is a HUGE weight off your shoulders now.

Thanks very much, folks. :)

Credit union tells me I'll have my title in 7 to 10 days. Booyah.

Ordered a pair of new A1 window regulators!

Last night I played around with the passenger side regulator a little bit (OEM). Apparently my fix from back in 2002 was a piece of string tied up to hold a part mostly steady. I then manged to jam the window fully raised. :nono:

Does anybody remember the brand of those universal dew wipes some have installed? I cannot recall it at all.

Jim,

Here is a link to their site and the dew wipe:

Check the velcro type strip on the doors that protect the drop glass from rubbing against the inner door when lowering and raising the glass. My glass scratched because the originals dried up and fell off...
