Special thanks to Shannon from the Ohio DeLorean Club for the part #’s. For this install you are going to need 2 rolls of 16 gauge wire, some quick disconnects, and the brake lights of your choice. I went with “Red Lens, Mini Red 12-LED Brake Light ZX830680R Each $10.99” from www.jcwhitney.com. I decided to […]
After reading an interesting post on the DeLorean Mailing List about a cross reference blower motor, I decided to pick one up. The part # for this is Siemens PM106, and it is a drop in replacement for our blower motors. AutoZone carries these sparsely, if they have it in stock its $18.99, if they […]

So, I have a dent in the passenger side door from the previous owner. Something fell on it in a garage. Something heavy. Knocked the door out of alignment so it doesn’t close properly and scrapes when opening. Its gotten to the point now that the car is actually being used that it has to […]
Sorry for the lack of updates, its been a busy month. I have several updates to get to in the coming weeks of jobs that have been completed. Stay tuned…
Now that I have had time to play around more that the valley of death job is done, I have put together a new ‘to do’ list. Some of these jobs are easy, some a tiny bit more complicated… (1) Tackle the engine rough start issue. This can be attributed to several things, so I […]
Had a great time on Saturday at the Central Florida DMC club tech session. Managed to get several jobs done on my car that I have been meaning to get to. #1 was changing the 25 year old transmission oil. Wow that stuff smells. Just took out the top bolt and bottom bolt, drained the […]
