Paint-tastic mate :D

Who trimmed your binnacle Angie O'dema?

Jokes aside, your doing a good job keeping the car on the road.

Now the question remains.... Will it start?

Will have my Renault alpine exhaust manifold in a couple of weeks with red Renault alpine spark plug wiring. Till then no starting test possible :(

Don't forget to plug that orange plug (top right of the photo) to the electrical plug of the distributor or the engine won't even make a spark ;)

Thanx AB.

Still far from igniting her unfortunately.

My d has been fendered.
After the very helpful assistance of a classic vehicle enthusiasts Antonis, in adjusting the doors, I managed to set on the fenders.

What we realized with Antonis, is that it was not us who were unable to calibrate those doors perfectly. It was the Delorean build that was uneven and made impossible to center. The front and rear door infill panels are installed by factory with almost an inch difference between driver and passenger side.

Enough said. Here are the pics.

To dark I know..

Did some regraining

Straightened a wheel well dent

Finally for the bad news....
Used my peeping can to see how the water pump is behaving.... And that bloody gasket is no good.... Out with the sun thing and LK over again..
