Re: [DML] Frame issues

[Vin 5386 <delorean_stainless@xxxx>]

My 2 cents on this subject is as follows, why spend
40k on a refurb when you can get a decent D for about
15k then get the Stainless Steel frame for something
like 8k (please don't quote me on that figure as I
haven't looked at the going rate in a few months) now
your up to 23k even if it cost another 7k to do the
frame swap and any other little manitenance things
your still ahead by 10k that you can put in your piggy
bank for a rainy day and ontop of it you have a D that
is nearly indistructable. Salty Roads? where were
going we dont need to worry about salty roads!
