The binnacle has been removed! Successfully might I add! The job was a bit challenging, six small 7mm nuts and washers hold the binnacle in to the dash. I read that it was best to take out the kneepads, but that actually ended up being more pain than it was worth. If you have a […]
After cleaning up the oil pan constantly and tightening the bolts thinking it was the seal leaking, I found out about another ‘DeLorean thing’ last week. A common place for oil to leak is from a faulty seal on the oil pressure light sensor. This is part # 102462 & 102461 in the manual. It […]
Little bit late with these pics, but here they are. They show the damaged area before and after using a blending pad to clean up the stainless.
Haven’t had any updates recently as I have been busy selling my old car and obtaining a winter junker. However, I do have a list of things I would like to do over the winter months. Here is the list… – Replace plastic coolant bottle and brackets with stainless : this is one of the […]

I did not want this to happen when driving, or the DeLorean would just […]

Had some time today to work on blending the stainless in areas that had stains or marks. It worked pretty good, but is very time consuming. I worked hard on the hood as it had several sections with spot marks that were detracting. As other owners have said, blending the hood causes the X brace […]
I have placed an order for the following parts the other day that should be in tomorrow: – Pivot bolt replacement – Tie rod end replacements – Blending pad & stainless steel cleaner – Distributor cap & rotor – W pipe seals This should knock off the remaining engine tuneup that needs to be done […]
