Helped a fellow SEDOC member today with his recent purchase - a half-finished, sad-looking DeLorean Time Machine that the previous owner pretty much ruined. Apparently it sat for six years in Indiana, while they ruined the interior and painted the various engine parts all manner of neon colors.
Today we gutted the interior completely and found so many rat nests it was like the Secret of Nimh! The calipers were extremely rusty as was the front suspension. We were able to get the car up on stands, remove the tires, drop the stabilizer bar and the driver side caliper. We also found a decomposing rat corpse up inside the passenger door headliner. There's going to be a lot of work to get this car ready for DragonCon...

WTF were they smoking when they "attempted" this??? Glad this beasty DMC has gone to a better owner/care-taker.
