What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[dvonk]

Removed the driver side seat back, unstapled the vinyl, drilled out the rivets that held the three brackets in place. Went to Home Depot and bought a 2 x 4 ft sheet of hardboard. Using the old, busted seat back as a template, traced and cut out the new seat back. Riveted the brackets in place onto the new seat back, stapled the vinyl back on...

Finally got my drivers window motor replaced and rebuilt the power mirror switch (again!)

[pezzonovante88]

Took it in for a safety check. Needs rear tires, as they are way too old and cracked, and the driver's door needs to be "unstuck". Looks like I'm getting Cooper Cobras. Tomorrow is my day off, so I'm going to go to the shop and hopefully finagle the door enough to get it to open and close relatively well.
It was also the first day I had the car at work. A few BTTF comments were made, but not too many People loved the car, though I 'tried' to stay as inconspicuous as possible (not very possible with that car).

Ohhhhh...I can just hear the salt dust eating away at your frame.......

Did you find cooper cobras already? I'd buy a full set...apparently they no longer make them (I may be wrong about that?)

I sprayed the underneath off. I've got the tires, but they aren't mounted yet. They are the correct size and they were made in 2011, which is decent.

My buddy who is the service manager found them in like ten minutes and ordered them. I'll have to ask where he found them.

Installed my Solid State Relay. Starts and works! Real test tomorrow as I will be attending a classic car show in the city.

[pezzonovante88]

It got its new rear tires (Cooper Cobra GT) and an oil change with a new magnetic plug and Bosch filter from Hervey. My tech is also going to look into getting the reverse lights going again. I also received my new stainless coolant tank and trailing arm bolts which I may install this weekend.
In other words, I didn't do anything to the car, someone else did

[Farrar]

Resolved to work on it tomorrow.

...that counts, right? :\
