AHEM!
First of all never ever EVER call your D your "car" anymore! All others are "cars". This is a DeLorean :)
But I excuse you cause I see you also do your D's parts washing in the kitchen sink. KUDOS! I get a lot of nagging about it but I just keep telling my wife "so you prefer I wash my parts elsewhere?"

Great job you have done! Looks fantastic. May I ask what type of paint you used on your engine?

That's an impressively sturdy patio table!

Fantastic looking results!

Thanks for all the nice words! Enjoying driving my DELOREAN around now. Yes the wife did well to put up with buts in the sink, but what better place to clean it than right by the kettle.

Dangermouse, few anxious gasps with the table! :shock:

WOW! Just noticed the engine is sitting on that patio table!
I bet you wrenched pretty smoothly!
