I think the seats were made by a company called TRIMTECH in England, and as 
we know they used quality leather - Bridge of Weir.

How many seat covers does "Robin Hood cars" have?
What is their price for all their seat covers?

If those that are interested committed to buy one or two sets, Im sure that 
the DeLorean Owners Club UK could buy the "large quantity" on behalf of the 
DML and be helpful in shipping to other countries...

How about it Martin Gutkowski and Chris Parnham?

We could pay the DOC UK in advance both for the seat covers and postage to 
wherever we all live...

Check into this please, then get back with a price.
Im sure that alot of people on this list would be interested in "brand new" 
seat covers.

Im 99% sure that I want some!!!

Best wishes
Stian Birkeland
NORWAY

PS! Should this be a success, it will prove that DeLorean owners are a 
unique bunch of people who together can achieve miracles!

Hello,
    My project DeLorean is coming along quite well.  I have started to tear 
out the passenger side interior, hopefully  it will be done by summer.  
(still looking for a used right quarter panel)

    anyways.......After getting a new battery the other night I attempted to 
start it and got nothing, just a little clicking from behind the passenger 
seat.  The previous owner had it started a year ago and said the starter was 
only working some of the time(not engaging etc).  do you think it could 
finally be dead?  It doesnt even make the slightest noise.  I may have to go 
buy a new starter for it just to see.  The car has all the relay updates.  
someone said the ground wire could be corroded but I checked it and its fine. 
 Is there any other thing I should do before I go get a new starter?  is 
there a way to check and see if its getting any juice?  I would also like to 
thanks DMC Joe for being so helpful.

I look forward to your responses

Thanks

David,

  Well, this may sound like bragging, but last night I decided to try the 
phone number I found on the internet for JZD.  I called him up, the phone 
rang twice, and his daughter (I think) answered.  I asked for Mr. DeLorean, 
and half a minute later I was talking to the creator of the world's greatest 
car!  We talked for several minutes about the new car he is coming out with 
(it is confirmed) and it seems that there is already a prototype built!  I 
asked about the styling for it:

KR - So what stage are you at now?

JD - We have a prototype built

KR - Who's doing the styling for this car?

JD - Well, we're still working on it

KR - I think you should get Mr. Giugairo to style this one, he did an
     excellent job on the DMC-12

JD - He is the best designer out there, ahead of everyone by a mile,
     two miles

  We went on to talk about the 0-60 times and and the weight of the car.  
All in all it was the coolest moment of my life!

Kevin Rawlings, VIN:(coming soon)

with all the talk of leather seats, I looked at my Delorean and would
consider buying a pair  ---grey interior --- or at worst, just the
drivers side. 

any sellers out there?

not if that phone number worked.... anyone know whats going on with him?

I am responsible for that supercharged delorean. My name is Glenn
Coulter and I am employed with Glenn & Sons Automotive in Libertyville
Illinois.I was asked by one of my delorean customers if we should turbo
his D. and I suggested supercharging one, and found no one had done it
so we did.It performs very well although we are still in the tuning
stages,we did dyno it after installation and found it to produce 138
rear wheel horsepower and 170 FT LBS of torque. What we also found out
was that it needed ignition system upgrades and more fuel at the upper
rpms(4500 plus). We just completed adding an MSD 6A multiple spark
discharge and coil, along with a new wire set. The results were nice
and we are now able to pull strong beyond 5000 RPM,s.the system runs a
6 p.s.i powerdyne blower we fabricated all the other brackets, 
pulleys etc. We hope to redyno the car in the spring. Thank you for
your interest. Sincerly, Glenn Coulter

Somtimes after sitting a long while things happen to "stick",this may sound stupid but try hitting (tapping) the starter a few times to "loosen" things up
if that does't work check the starter solenoid(the round thing that sits on top of the starter)chances are you will find that is why your starter isn't working.

james,
Removing the paint from your stainless steel panels is extremely labor
intensive. After the paint is removed the panels will have to be
re-brushed.
Unless you are certain of the history of the car it may have body filler
under the panels.

This job should be done by an auto paint specialty dealer with experience
at painting stainless steel.

Any D fans in LA/SF area?  Anyone wanna meet up and maybe talk about the car, the man, etc over a beer?

Lemme know.
