Hi Guys

my hunt for my D project goes on after coming close (US ebay) a couple of times...

anyway i am presently restoring an E21 Baur BMW....and i need to paint the plastic external trim (someone has painted the grille horrible body colour!)

so, for this and when i get my D, what have you all used to paint plastic trim to make it look factory finish...

i think Chris N did my last D and not sure what he used for bumper.

so going to rub down old paint, scotch brite it and body whipe it clean....then either primer and paint or just the paint if it does not need primer, but not sure what to use yet.

have heard the halfords bumper paint is now not very good after a formula change..

any ideas?.

and do you guys still use a grey interior paint on your faded D?.

thank you for any help.

Morning all,
 
My name is Alistair and I am a DeLorean enthusiast, sadly not an owner. 

I am a Derbyshire lad but crossed over to the dark side when I married. So I now live in Nottingham with my wife and 2 children, 11 and 3 years of age. I'm soon to be moving to a bigger house with a double garage. I may not have the money for a DeLorean but at least I have the garage!
 
It's the Back to the Future films that bought my interest in the car. I love them as they were part of my younger years, but it's the car itself that always made me sit up with interest. 

I started working for IKEA - Nottingham around 1995. I was part of the home delivery team and it was on my travels that I saw my first DeLorean with my own eyes. It was Richards, parked on the roadside in Heanor. I've past by Richards house so many times since and I've always looked for that car and I'm still blown away. 
 
A few years ago, whilst working in Derby, I refuelled at Markeaton Island when a DeLorean pulled in. The whole forecourt came to a stop to admire the car. I recall the gentleman going into pay for the fuel wearing a 88mph t-shirt. In my ignorance I thought this was the car from Heanor. Only recently (after watching 'For the love of Cars) did I realise it was Chris and there was another DeLorean so near.
 
And after joining the club I learn of another car in Brinsley! Amazed by the local love of this amazing, mind blowing car. 
 
I am really looking forward to hearing your stories and learning all I can (if you would be so kind), and maybe one day owning my own car. It is a dream.....
 
Alistair.

Been diagnosing a central lock problem (it's with a Wings-a-loft add on kit that stops the central locking working as soon as it's connected, but that's for another thread!)
and I was told to check a few things including the inertia switch.

When I took a look I discovered that someone had bypassed it by joining the two pink and brown wires together
   

Looks like mine is an original and I know from research these were subject to a recall and relocation.

So should I get a replacement and try reconnecting it or leave it be, seeing as I have no idea why it was disconnected in the first place.
If I try a replacement is there a cross-match part number? Deloreango want £50 for one!

Hi,
I have recently been approached by the team running Wessex Truck Show in Yeovil, Somerset after seeing a colleague and my Delorean at a local classic car show. They try and show one type/make of car at the Lorry/truck show each year and would love to have the Delorean there. Ideally they would like more than just the two of us so thought I would put it out to all in the club to see if anyone would like to join the two of us? Entry is free and camping is available. All they ask is we are there for both days (Sat 9-5, sun 9-3:30). If anyone would like to commit then please contact me on either 07866430904 or phil_burningham@hotmail.com.
Many thanks
Phil

   

Not sure if this is of any interest to anyone hear? but if it is we can get a group discount and I'm happy to distribute them. Just let me know if you are.
Chris

Hi guys

Just a quick heads up to let you all know that our most recent brainchild is now live and kicking - Say hello to Opie Commercial Oils!
We appreciate that not everyone here drives an 18 wheeler big rig, but our new website also covers an array of fluids for all vans, trucks and even buses, so if you need anything for the work van for example, then you may want to have a look below.



Opie Commercial Oils offers more than 150 commercial vehicle oils and fluids from the likes of Texaco, Castrol, Shell, Mobil, and Millers Oils. A comprehensive range of engine oils, gearbox and differential oils, greases and coolants are all available for your servicing needs, delivered to your door at trade prices.
Geared towards all aspects of commercial vehicles, from buses to lorries, and everything in between, we offer commercial products in commercial quantities at commercial prices. Perhaps you're a self-employed courier, electrician or plumber? Well, just give us a buzz next time your service is due and we're sure to have the product for you, and at great prices to boot. Below, you will find links to the different vehicle categories that we cater for:

BUS AND COACH
- Engine Oil
- Gear Oil
- Ancillaries

TRUCK AND HGV
- Engine Oil
- Gear Oil
- Ancillaries

VAN AND LGV
- Engine Oil
- Gear Oil
- Ancillaries

If you know the spec that you're after, then you can simply hover over the "Shop By Specification" tab. This displays everything we have to offer in that certain spec, such as Iveco and Caterpillar, as well as all the usuals from ACEA and many more to cover vehicles from MAN, Scania and DAF to name a few. There's also free shipping on all orders over £250.
Of course, if you're not sure of the exact product you need, or just require some advice on what would work best, then all you need to do is email us at sales@opieoils.co.uk with details of your vehicle and any special requirements and we would be happy to provide free and impartial advice. Alternatively, just give us a call on 01209 202942 and we'll get straight to it.

Again, we appreciate that this may not be of interest to all of you guys, but just wanted to keep you in the loop about what we've been working on, and hopefully offer a product you may be after. Why not have a look around HERE.

Until next time!

Has anyone else been hit by photobucket pulling the plug on all free 3rd party hosting, I lost all my pics on another forum where all the images were hosted by photobucket, they asked me to upgrade, when I went on the site they wanted $399 a year to upgrade, obviously I have not going to do that, they still hold my images but have stopped them being shown. Could anyone sugest another hosting site even though it's going to be a lot of work to change over.

Has anybody on here ever had a Citroen CX?  I think I want one.

Usually these things pass after a period of time, but this one isn't going away...

Hi folks:

Has anyone on here tried the Nankang rear tyres which now seem to be available at all?

Ebay lists a pair for £125 which seems pretty good?

Cheers all, Rich
