What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[cdmcali]

Got mine back from DMC California a few weeks ago after not running for 13 years. It is running great but wanted to do some interior restorations. When I picked it up I got a new dash, Binnacle, headliners, shift boot, and seat covers. When I got the car home, within two hours I started ripping apart the interior. Every single part I have installed had some sort of issue but was able to fix it. Dash still is sitting back farther than I want it too. In a few months I will take it back out and grind off a bit of the front of it to make it sit properly. Headliner bracket was crooked and too far back so I had to grind off about 3/8ths of an inch to make it work. I had an upholstery shop do the seats cause it looked like a PITA. Almost there though. Thanks to everyone that has helped me out.

I was ready to drop the car off the blocks but decided to have a look at my rear axle boots. The drivers side has a tear in the one near the wheel hub. Don't know how long that has been torn so I will order a rebuilt axle. That is also the side that need the seal on the differential so will do that at the same time. I know Hervey has a double lip seal that most people like. Do any of the other vendors have that seal? That is probably the noise (rattle) I have been hearing this past year.

i went with Grady's machine sleeved axle lip seal replacement (i had the same side leaking) and have been quite happy with it.

Finished sanding the paint off the pillars. 98% there on paint now.

Changed and bled brake and clutch fluid. Also made up a hardline from clutch master to reservoir - sick to death of that hose sweating droplets of brake fluid.

On Thursday, I visited DMCFL while I was in the vicinity on vacation. I had a great chat with Tom and Mike and took some pics/notes of the pristine restored car they had for a couple restoration jobs that I still need to do.

I also picked up a Battery Tender there. Connected it yesterday, and this morning, the battery is fully charged. It gives me peace of mind (with a red/green indicator ) that the battery will always be fully charged when I go to drive it.

My son and I installed some LEDs to light up the footwells while driving at night.

looks nice! i've still got LED bulbs to replace all the ones in my binnacle (save for the alternator lamp) sitting on a shelf. one of these days ill get around to installing them...


tonight i replaced a few of the 8mm copper sealing washers on the last 2 injectors, and the 12mm washers around the return/freq valve double banjo that still had a bit of a weeping to them after i swapped all my stock fuel lines to DPI's braided stainless lines. The car's finally ready for more than just shakedown drives around the neighborhood again. (until a few more parts come later this week from PJ Grady )
