    I'm not sure if you will be able to see them with the design of the wheels.

    Probably not but they're still shiny with the wheels off

    My cracked lower panel is now repaired. The primer I used matches almost perfectly but I still plan to paint the entire thing before it goes back on the car.



    My new coolant bottle makes my hoses look like crap.

    Installed Special T stainless coolant tank w/brackets. Took it for a short drive to the local drug store where a number of people were ogling over it - I'll really have to get used to that.

    True, but their eyes will be all over the body like a supermodel in a bikini.

    Pulled the fuel pump access panel to try and track down a fuel smell when the car is parked. Checked and cleaned the boot and cover. Realized that the gauge sender (the car had the Houston upgraded sender when I got it, literally the *only* non-original part besides tires and battery it had installed) was not seated properly. The retaining ring was threaded funny and the seal/sender didn't have their tabs lined up or sitting in the notch in the tank. Cleaned off the fuel and gunk from around the sender and reinstalled it properly.

    Smell appears to be gone, and as an added bonus it feels peppier. Not sure if that's a placebo - does the tank need to be pressurized to provide proper fuel flow? I'm not sure.

    Also, since the spare tire was out I scraped off all the old foam and glue, cleaned the wheel and tire really well, scrubbed out the whole boot and installed new padding for the tire. It may be useless but it might as well look good.

    Very cool!
    eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.
