7 i can understand as it's generally considered that most deloreans suffer from this fuse holder melting.

I guess the others perhaps melted because of the proximity in the box?


oh the joy.

No matter how much time i spend on this car nothing seems to get done...

Spent all weekend polishing scratches and scraping old sealant off the doors...

ADMIN bloke, do you think we could do a poll/survey getting our fellow Delorean chums to check their boxes? I'll give a packet of Fruit Polos to the person who has an original box but no melted number 7 (excludes the likes of 'Dusty' that only had 4 miles on it).

OK I will do tomorrow.. :D

cheers mate. I think i might live to regret painting them what with likely contact with brake fluid, etc.
