I drove an hour to a junkyard to see if they had the door I needed. They did, but they don't allow customers to take shit off themselves and now I've gotta wait for them to take it off, probably damage it in the process, then drive an hour there and back again to get it. The worst part is I can't figure out a way to work a-door-able into a sentence that doesn't seem forced.
I haven't actually gotten the car yet, but I have two headlights, a rear view mirror, an armrest, cupholders, and soon a door. Then on Thursday I'm gettin the actual car. So technically I'm building the car from scratch.
Meanwhile I've been reading about where they rust because everyone was saying they don't rust and I don't see any rust on it but there might be rust hiding inside the wheel wells that I'm nervous about because if so I'm not about to put money into doing rust repairs on a free butt car with 170k miles.

There was a used car lot in front of the big supermarket in my town when I was an adolescent. Way in the back, hard to see thru the plastic slats in the chain link fence, there was an honest to god DeLorean. It was there for years.
I went to college and it disappeared.
Le sigh

DeLoreans are cool if you're eight years old or an overgrown movie nerd.

A Delorean could be cool if you swapped the EG33 from a Subaru SVX into it. Those were god-tier and 10 years ago were dirt cheap since SVXs all had blown transmissions and sat in some boomers driveway with like 100k miles on them, all the parts were from an EJ engine, but without the head gasket issues and a timing chain instead of a belt, and made a respectable 230hp so they were decent for old light cars, and made the Porsche noises.
I think Deloreans had shitty transmissions, so you'd need to figure something out there though.

Just put an LS in it if you want a 0-60 time that's under 20 seconds
