De Lorean EuroTec

Gaffa tape or tie wraps? - probably skip !!!

i'll take it if your going to throw it and if your willing to post to New Zealand

Unfortunately the only place that is fit for is the bin. Time for a replacement.

I would consider upgrading the cooling fans to the new lower current and more efficient ones as well. http://www.deloreanclub.uk/cooling-fans ... wling.html

What is the condition of the radiator? It may be wise to replace the whole lot while you are in there. http://www.deloreanclub.uk/cooling-kit- ... iator.html

And if you are bothered about getting the AC working in the future go one step further and get the kit which includes a new AC condenser. http://www.deloreanclub.uk/cooling-kit- ... ensor.html

Assuming the coolant hoses are original you will want to upgrade those as well http://www.deloreanclub.uk/silicone-hose-kit.html

If you're chucking it could I have one of the oem fans and motor ?

You could save that with Gaffa & the Mighty Scotchlock

Put it on ebay, say you found it in 1985 on a level crossing near Hillvalley, worth £1000's

ha ha love the comments - The car I'm refurbing (as most of you probably know) is one of the UAE 50 cars.

I always said to myself that it would be a sympathetic restoration and try and keep it to the original spec - non withstanding the fact that it will need new (upgraded) parts.
I've taken advice from my guru (A Van) that I should upgrade the fans to the newer version as he says that the old ones are a drain on the electrics and come in with a "bump" as someone else said.

With regard to anything I take off the car ..... some things I will throw in the skip such as a the badly cracked fuel tank and the fan cowling of which some broken bits are missing.

The fans? well they were going to be stored in a box labelled "original yet useful parts".

Being new to the world of Delorean ownership (one that has to be said is a 95% complete car + boxes and bags of bits - some of which I can identify some of which I haven't a clue!) I've realised that spares are uhhhhhh astronomical in some instances.

So in conclusion, the broken cowling will find it's way to the skip along with the tank.
- in the scheme of things I 'll keep the fans and who knows maybe barter them for some OEM parts that I need in the future like:-
- Rock screen
-spare wheel rim
- wheel emblem
- auto stick emblem - just the emblem
- new bonnetc

Hi Spud,

Please dont chuck the cracked fan cowl in the skip, could I have it please?

Dan

yes mate you can have it - it is badly damaged and is like a jig saw with some pieces missing - I'll hang on to the fans for now though. Just PM me or e mail spudwales at goooooogle male dot com (i hate robots who skim e mails that's why I have written it like this!)

Just curious as to why someone would want this though?

i really need a cowling just like that as mine is the same but in reverse with only one fan and i have no chance of getting any parts like that down here, i'm happy to give you some money and pay for freight and i did ask first
