Re: [doc] resto project/deloreans in fields

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

In a field? thats some scarecrow  ....

If its been stood in a field (in this country ??), it has been 
subjected to moisture coming up from the ground and any vegetation 
that has grown up underneath it . You need to really really check it 
over, especially the chassis, suspension and brakes etc for rust rot 
etc. Any usual problems in the fuel system etc will be there after 
standing for so long , with the added problems of being left outside 
in all weathers... 

Last thing you need is a D with a rotten chassis unless you want to 
replace it ... 

Regards

Mike
