What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[jawn101]

What! You removed all your rust proofing? Oh, Wait your in California. I guess you don't need it On another Note: WOW! pretty ambitious undertaking in a short time span.

Haha! I have to hand it to that layer of gunk... it really protected things nicely. A lot of these plated parts (mounts, pulleys, brackets, etc) look like brand new, if a little dull underneath. Last time I cleaned the gunk off the back of the engine while it was mounted, I was rewarded by oil leaks everywhere. This time there's gaskets instead of caked on filth to keep the oil inside

And yeah it's a HUGE list of jobs we're doing. I couldn't have accomplished 90% of it even with infinite time without my partners in crime. One of these days I'm betting we'll see Wolff up there with Roush and Lingenfelter and Shelby. In fact, I should get his autograph on the motor now, while I still can....

Acid application #15, removed first chunks of broken tap from hole. If I can get the tap out tomorrow I will be in line to get her to DCS.

glad to hear you finally found something that works. good luck with the rest of the tap!

I went to fix a leak under the t panel on the driver's side rear window. I was cleaning up the weather strip area to apply more rtv when I got a bright idea. One thing lead to another and now I know there's grain under that red paint. Pictures soon but Red will be sporting a stainless mohawk for awhile

....One thing lead to another ....

Yeah that's usually how it starts, and before you know it half the car is taken apart.

Replaced the angle drive and the lower speedo cable. Hooray for a working speedometer again!

Drove it almost half way from Minneapolis to Orlando.

Put some spare belts in the trunk.

Oh yeah, I've done that several times. This time I kept looking from the bottle of my left over stripper to this panel and curiosity won.

Good news and bad news. The Tpanel is stripped. I found some odd damage. It's not dented...just scratched a lot. The blending pad could probably take it out if I worked and worked and worked at it. I might be looking to invest in a wolf wheel once the job situation works out.

So excited to see the transformation!

Put a new oil filter on and rotated the engine 90 degrees on the stand. No leaks at all on the driver's side, now to give it a few days tilted on the passenger side. Looking forward to putting it all back together and taking a quick spin this weekend! Should feel like a very different car.
