[ MODERATOR"S NOTE: I'm probably stepping on toes as well but I think the hurt car has received enough attention and the posts are begining to sound repetative so I'm killing the thread.]




I know I'll probably step on few toes here, but give me a chance. The 
purpose of the "At what point does a DeLorean become Salvage" thread 
wasn't just about when is it more profitable to destroy a car by 
parting it out rather then spending time & more money on the car to 
turn a profit by resoring it. This car in particular is another 
example of a car that is a good canidate for a restoration. Although 
I would place this car at the level of MUCH more advanced level of 
repair work. Quick run thru: Anywhere from light to heavy chassis 
repair, moderate to heavy fibreglass repair, and heavy repair to 
complete replacement of the rear quarter panel, plus a replacement of 
the passenger side tail lens to make the car road worthy again. Of 
course on top of this you would need cosmetic items such as a new 
facia, louvers, engine cover, etc... But I'm just pointing out the 
basics to get the car going. This care requires more love then it 
does money to fix. Remember, you can earn and obtain cash, but you 
can't earn or obtain love.
On a more personal note that may upset some, although I meant no 
offence by it; STOP TRYING TO JUNK EVERY DELOREAN THAT NEEDS MAJOR 
WORK!!!! The whole point was not about money, but which car is right 
for a person, not just their wallet alone. If your opinion is that a 
particular car should be parted out (especially one in this good a 
condition), then more then likely this is not a car for you. The car 
has not sold. This is not because no one wants the car, it's just 
that someone who does hasn't come to take the car home yet. If you 
see a car that you don't want or can't use, why not just pass it 
along to someone who does?
