What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[Farrar]

Today I finished tidying up the electrical compartment behind the passenger seat. I added a relay for the fuel pump and choke heater. Since the Lambda relay is a dual-make SPST, I used it in that spot. Just like stock, it's Fuse #7.

I confirmed that everything works, but it's pretty messy-looking back there at the moment. Nonetheless, I decided to tackle the area behind the radio bracket next. Most of the harness tape has also fallen off in that area. I applied my HVAC mod, but noticed some wires coming out of the back of the hazard switch receptacle. Looks like that's my next job. I'll have to take the radio bracket out -- again! -- but I'm getting good at putting the boots over the air box now, I've done it so many times.

I worked a tiny bit on the fuel system, but didn't get very far before it was time to call it a night, so basically I didn't get much done apart from test-fitting a few bits.

Fortunately, the weekend is almost here.

Did my first ever parade today. Car was a huge hit. My left foot handled it just fine as well. I was asked to drive in the parade to help represent a local restaurant business. Even got a little kickback for it. Now I just need to search all the image websites for sightings of my car.

On the flip side it also prompted me to wash the car. It's now the cleanest it's been since DCS last year.

Why read about it when you can watch it ...?

Installed a new fuel pump.

Finished the relay/fuse compartment. Apart from wrapping the harnesses, that is.

What are the extra Breakers For?

What are the extra Breakers For?

Radiator fans. I changed the circuit from stock so that each fan has its own circuit breaker and relay.

Finished installing my custom front suspension brace. It's a little different from the ones I've seen offered for sale, in that it's made of aluminum channel and doesn't use rod ends at the ends. It also replaces the bolts with studs to simplify assembly.

There are reinforcing plates (held on by the cap screws visible in the picture) under the ends that spread the load into the channel web.

Installed a new oil pressure (gauge) sender. It has an original type ring terminal connector, so it made installation a bit easier.

Time for a better Radiator.

Just saw this, did you put mine in yet?

I tinkered with the driver side door locks. Red locked me in once shortly before I started the paint stripping. Before she goes back together I wanted to make sure that wasn't going to happen again. I think I've got it fixed. Now I need to fix the passenger door. I've never been able to open it without the key turned to the left. I think the tension on the lock bars is just a tad too tight.
