Subject: Re: Rust
Just a thought...
I was wondering if the "Spray In" approach or Linex would be a good idea
for
frame rust prevention
and overall durability, and worry free care. (I am reffering to the spray
on bedliner material)
Ive seen it done on Boats, Aluminum, Wood ets you name it
Any thoughts

Subject: [DML] Rust
>How difficult is it to remove the rust from a DeLorean frame. It is an
issue most of us will have to deal with when the epoxy cracks and water
gets
in. Naval Jelly/Converter can convert all rust on a frame to a black
inert
oxide. A number of coatings are available that work much better than the
old epoxy. And frames can be welded to add extra strength if needed. Has
anyone on here done this in the recent past (5-15 years) with success and
satisfaction?

Subject: Repair shops\ battery cut off switch\ cooling fan question
Fellow DMCer's,
I am compiling the repair shop list, so this is last call, please send in
any
shops you want listed.( to ABatt10347@xxxxxxx) The number of shops has
fallen
off the last few weeks. I still have many states not listed, so if you
haven't sent one in please do so in the next few days.
As a reminder this is a list of shops that we as owners have used and are
happy with. They will be listed by state. Please include name of
shop,phone
numbers, address, and a contact person. The final list will be linked at
the
DML main page.
I missed out on the battery cutoff switch, so after calling almost every
auto
parts store, I found one at of all places an RV supply store. They have
them
for the side post terminals.
Last a question, my cooling fans as of late only come on for about 5 sec.
and
then cut off. The cycle repeats about every min. This is with the ac off.
In
the past the cooling fans seemed to kick on for a few min and then kick
off.
Any help?

You're wise to check this out. It's great that there are shops that
specialize in just the De Lorean, but it isn't always practical for most
owners to pop over to one for something fairly routine like servicing the
air
conditioner. So look around first. If you can't find a good mechanic...
wait
until you can, or you may face a lot of frustration. Before I bought my
D, I
asked Volvo owners who they used, and eventually selected two shops to
try.
The first, a "foreign car" specialist, told me he had owned a D and liked
it. To replace the 4 brake hoses, (which I supplied,) and the under the
car
coolant hoses, plus an oil change, (I supplied the filter,) took 3 days
and
cost me just over $600. The next day, I noticed that the brakes were still
mushy. He had flushed it, but hadn't noticed that the master cylinder
looked
like a relic from the Titanic. :(
The second guy is a local, well respected mechanic who's done a little of
everything including Maseratis. He fixed my brakes, unfazed by the frozen
rivnuts and corroded master cylinder. He overtorqued my front lugnuts, but
apart from that has been fast, fair priced, and accurate. For more
complicated problems, I'll make an appointment at my well respected but
not-real-close D repair shop.

I have several items on the way from them. When I get them, I will let
the
list know what I think. So far they have been incredibly nice to work
with,
and have been open to new ideas and innovations. . . I am going to be
working with them in the near future on a shift plate made of stainless
steel as well.

This company says that they can make new fenders and misc metal parts
for the DeLorean. They also mention they can gold plate the car.
Has
anyone tried their products?

Has everyone on the list got their Limited Edition model from Lee? There
hasn't been much talk about them. I have written emails to him without a
response and since I paid in full two years ago I am getting concerned.
