"Rustproof" DeLorean

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

While the pontoon is indeed rustproof (might crack however...), much
of the car is carbon steel subject to deterioration:
- All fasteners
- Frame is welded sheet steel, not cast. Crumple tube especially
vulnerable
- Brake & suspension components
- Fuel system can rust from inside out (tank itself is plastic)

Note also wiring subject to environment. Ground points especially
critical because body non-conductive. Wiring harness is small gauge to
begin with, so I'd watch airborne salt found at coasts.

DeLorean is well executed car, steeped in history, uncommon but not
rare (costs within most people's reach), and extremely popular among
general public. Is far from perfect, but I recommend ownership.
