What have you done to your DeLorean today?

I finished my hand made Stainless rear fascia support/heat shield

Looks good man! Glad it finally got done.

I took it to the Car Wash today to get ready for the Celebration car show next week. I like to run it through the car wash to get started. Anyway they had a special today to condition the seats, armor all (or whatever they use) the dash, tires, shampoo the carpets, etc.

Anyway when they started drying it off and doing the interior I told the kid I was going to a car show next week. He was excited to be working on a Delorean and did a better job than I would. He worked for 45 minutes Armor All'ed everything, used a brush to get in the cracks, etc. He then told me he hopped the car showed well. I was so impressed with the job he did I tipped him $20.

In the heat, some excess leather conditioner came out of the seats. I went outside and wiped that off today. Then I came back inside to drill holes in my replacement wood piece for behind the passenger seat. The drill bound up, ripping and splitting the wood, and pushing off the smaller wood panel adhered to the back of the larger one.

Yesterday I drove up to DMC California with the seats to have them recovered. Today I re-installed the seats in the Delorean. Man what a difference.

Changed the transmissions gear oil. I used Valvoline 80w90.

Replaced rubber/plastic vacuum tubes with silicone.

When I was replacing the vacuum line to the transmission, I heard something metallic fall onto the concrete. I saw that it was a distributor cap clip. "Oh, great," I thought, but I looked and saw that both of mine are in place. This means that it did not fall off of my current distributor, so it must belong to the previous distributor which was damaged in the fire. It was pretty rusty... I wonder how long it had been sitting in some nook, waiting to fall.

I had a good look inside my engine compartment while figuring out where to put a coolant recovery tank, and discovered that some hardware is missing where a metal beam goes across the back of the car. I will have to rectify this when I pull the fascia to have it painted.

Have fun putting that rear fascia back on. What a pain in the ass!

cleaned the carpets and floor mats, not a huge improvement as they were pretty good already

I haven't removed it yet. Paint is very distant in my future.
