What have you done to your DeLorean today?

We needed to oil the wood floor in the living room. We have a double garage, with my wife's car and my D inside, my daily drives stays outside.
So my wife car out of the garage and the sofa's in the garage.

That evening, I decided to have a nice drink in the comfortable sofa in the garage, just looking at my D. What do I need a TV for this this great view.

My wife walked in "Why are you sitting in the gagage???" She would not understand anyway, I could feel her think.. "Men...?!" As stupid as this may sound, I enjoyed this as much as a drive.

So I did nothing at all, just enjoyed the view. You should try that sometime.

Spent the evening testing out my regraining method, also using 3M Stainless Spray.

Yesterday actually... Drove to my friend Wilson's, you know him as Canon20Fan, and took a quick look at his fuel pump (Waiting on parts) & replaced a frayed fan belt.

Canon20's car looks amazing, it looked great before but is even more over the top now. I am certainly green with envy.

My car ran flawlessly on a beautiful day when I had to turn down the AC because my feet were beginning to freeze.

My car randomly wouldn't start in a parking lot on Monday. No, this is NOT the same issue I was having. That was fixed. This time, my battery appeared to have died. So jump started her for about a minute and drove home. Same thing the next day.

So today I had the battery and alternator tested. The battery was good, but the alternator was struggling. Then I noticed that the voltmeter, which usually reads a normal, happy 13, now read about 10. So after a few more tests (checking belts, etc) I looked at my alt. Someone had replaced the ducellier out, thank God, but by the looks of the alternator, it had been done circa 1983. So now I get to learn to replace my own alternator. Yay.

So now I get to learn to replace my own alternator.

That's one of my next jobs, too. Easily done if you have a proper way to transfer the pulley and fan from your old alternator, or you can buy from a vendor which includes pulleys and fans on theirs.

How do you do this? Any pics?

[Canon20DFan]

Easy to do. Get a bicycle brake cable from WalMart or a bike shop. Simple shove the bike cable the same place the stock hood release goes through the fiberglass tub. If I can do this, anyone can.

And I appreciate it.
