just wanted to say hello. I purchased a late 81 back in October. Ive been doing all of the work on it by myself with much advice from the threads on this site. I was hoping to see if there are any owners in my area that i can connect with and maybe get some advice. Im east of sacramento, ca in lincoln, rocklin area. I have lived up here for 15 years and have yet to see a delorean but have heard there may be a few hiding.

I know that a car bought a year or so ago from BaT ended up in Roseville. However, you want to connect with the NorCal group. There are a ton of owners in the Bay Area, but I'm pretty sure there's other
cars closer than that. I would honestly be surprised if there *wasn't* a car in Grass Valley or Neveda City.
I'm sure you're aware of the car in the museum in Historic Sacramento too.

Probably about time I do an intro post.
Hey all. I'm a software engineer. Originally from Seattle, but currently in Mass. Will be moving back to the West Coast eventually. I do a little bit of everything. My interests primarily align with software, engineering, electronics, mechanics, and robotics. Anything to do with technology really fascinates me. I've built everything from robots, to 3D printers, to drones, to mopeds. At one point I was even a rocket scientist.
I have a "learn as you go" mentality, and using computers I've been able to achieve far more than I really have any right to as an engineer.
I've had a dream since I was a kid of owning a Delorean, and I made the plunge and bought a seized non-running automatic in .. March? of 2022. Which I've been converting to electric since about October of 2022.
There are no expectations really on my part. I've always wanted to do an EV conversion. I've always wanted to own a Delorean. I'm not a professional mechanic or anything, just some random asshole on the internet who's having a good time finally doing something they've always wanted to do. Happy to be here and be a part of the community, learning as I go.
Also I love synthwave.
"Random assholes" welcome. Consistent ones, not too much.

Hello all, just got signed up and thought I would introduce myself and say hi from the Ozark Mountains. Been a Delorean owner for 23 years now (#05903), started out as a member on the yahoo groups a very long time ago. No idea if those are even around anymore. Mine is an '81, grey interior, 5-speed, 42,000 miles now. all around pretty good shape but I do need to get the wheels redone and also need to get the seats recovered. They weren't taken care of before I had the car and no matter what I've done to condition them they just seem to get worse. Anyway, hope you all are well.
