What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[MrChocky]

Got my car running after 7 weeks of being in pieces.

Incomplete list:

New steering bushing
New stereo
New speaker lines
Redid a number of seals
Affixed driver's side window edging
Removed a bunch of rust from handbrake bracket
New heater return pipe, Y-pipe, some coolant hoses
New vacuum hoses

The car has a serious vacuum problem, which I still need to track down, but it is running - around the block anyway, so that's a huge relief.

This week I had some free time to attend to the door trim. Completely removed the trims and the old foam that become dust over the years. Replaced it with new upholstery pad.
It really brings the interior back to life.

I did that on 4728, it's a nice "resto-mod." I agree, it does bring it back to life.

Today I got my replacement auto transmission almost ready to attach back to the engine!

The big issue I was having was with the shift cable - the transmission came with the shift cable cut, just a metal wire sticking out, and I didn't understand how it was put together. Thanks to some help on a Facebook forum, I found out that you can twist that cable and it's actually connected to a threaded sleeve that will unscrew it from a bolt, and out it comes! Took about 5 minutes to pull them out from both transmissions and swap them. Then I spent about an hour chasing all of the threads and cleaning up the bolts on a wire wheel and was able to get the torque converter case installed and torqued down. All of the parts that I need to swap over have been swapped, so the old transmission is headed for the corner of the garage!

I need to chase the threads in the torque converter, and get the engine on the hoist and chase the threads that connect it to the trans, and then it's all ready to be attached. I'm waiting on the bolts that attach the transmission mounts (to the transmission) and once they are here the set will go in the frame!

What did you use to replace the foam inside the doors? I wanna do mine but DOn't wanna over pay for foam from a vendor. Thickness and type?

Right. I like to support the vendors but some items are way overpriced. This is what I got from eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sew-Foam-1-...72.m2749.l2649

Sew Foam 1/4" Scrim Cloth Backed Sewing Pleating Padding Upholstery Fabric 55" W

Replaced parking brake pads. Not sure I trust DMCH's pads though. One came apart before I even got the assembly back on the caliper. Thankfully 2 my old pads were still good and I reused one of them.
