What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[jawn101]

A lot. Removed all the interior panels and carpeting in prep for dynamat installation tomorrow. Installed my LMS bypass relay kit. Reinforced my armrest extensions so they won't snap off. Re-stretched and re-glued the vinyl on the rear interior quarter panels so they aren't bubbled up. Removed the driver's side louver that wasn't held on by anything, cleaned up the old glue and got it ready to re-attach. Epoxied the upper seatbelt anchor in place (it was spinning in the hole, probably why the side lover was removed in the first place). Put the battery on an overnight charge cycle. Cleaned all the interior fiberglass to get a good bond surface. Tomorrow will be installing the dynamat and putting back as many interior panels as possible, and maybe shampooing the carpets while they're out if there's time.

Yes, steam clean those carpets. I did that to mine since they were out and man, i pulled out two buckets of BLACK water. Gave new life to the old carpets, and after drying vacuming and fabreze they are like new. Make sure when you are applying the dynamat, to use the roller and roll out all the pieces you put down. There is going to be a lot of cutting for all the spaces in the car, have a good razor knife. Here is a pic of mine

when i finished i have the dynamat over the whole center console, and in both the battery compartment and the cubby hole and the whole wood panel.

New headunit installed. Went for the Sony Tunetray as it was on special for $180. Works great, no moving parts and glows blue like the heater-a/c controls. Sweet!

I used the dynamat as a heat shield in front of the fuel tank. Works a treat there too.

I need to see a picture of that back up camera.

[jfirios]

you want to see it installed? I have the bumper at my body shop getting sanded and re sprayed. Once I get it back I will take a photo and post it. It will look kind of sexy where I put it. Probably will never even notice it is there.
Here is what I have been doing today, You can see the two cutouts for the back lighting for the delorean letters and the smaller cut for the back up camera to fit in. Then finished the dynamat for the back deck and wall and started the build for the new shelf.

Got the 8 grill ball studs out and chased the treads. Got the grill clips removed (drilled the pop rivets). Just waiting for my new studs and clips to arrive.

Need to wait for the wife to leave so I can put my grill in the bath tub and soak all the bugs off it.

Hi jfirios,

Is that the original parcel shelf wood you can see there? Looks to be in pretty good shape.

Just thought of not using pop rivets on my grill clips. If I use some small machine screws and nylock nuts, I can have the clips "float" a little to self center and move as the grill moves with heat changes.
