What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[Farrar]

Today, I went out to the garage to find a coolant leak here.

I fixed that, then started the engine to charge the air conditioning.

Oddly, the compressor would only run if I stuck jumpers in BOTH the high and low pressure switches. Anyone know how that works?

After two cans of R-134a had been sucked into the system, my vent temps weren't moving. I shut the engine off and heard a hissing sound.

I traced it to here.

Tightened it until the hissing stopped. Coincidentally, the nut wouldn't move anymore, either.

Pulled a vacuum again.

After pulling a vacuum for five minutes:

After sitting for 45 minutes:

Rage.

Removed the old crappy foglights and alarm system installed by a previous owner today. The door ajar light in the instrument cluster started working again! It hasn't worked since I got the car and I could never figure out why.

During my never ending interior work I really wanted to replace the carpeting, but with help needed in other places on my D I decided to pull every thing out and scrub the hell out of it. Some turned out nice others ehh, but it looks better then it did for sure. These are in order before and after .. My interior really does looke light blue.. Weird

Oh no! A dream deferred?

I don't have enough free time or resources to put into this car what it needs. I need to reclaim some garage space and start looking for a D that I can drive.

I know exactly how you feel. I've been fooling with non-running D's for too long. It looks like I'm going to do a bodytub swap on 1045 so once 10077 is done and gone I'll get started on that. I need to get my wife's Challenger on the road first though, and possibly my Mini as well.

I changed her fuel pump on the side of the road. I guess my 30 year old unit finally bit the dust. Zero warning too. Unfortunately during the work I moved the pump from my trunk to my garage and forgot to put it back. I had to go back to the house to get it. Thankfully dad was just getting off work and was 5 minutes down the road when the pump failed. He was impressed at how easy it was to change the pump. By the way, if any of you do not own this I suggest getting it. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Probe-Ul...=power+probe+2 It saved me so much time testing and I was able to easily test the "new" pump before installing it.

I saw tons of people filming so Chris, be on the lookout for "idiot and DeLorean broke down in Foley" videos.
