Still I guess you have most of the panels needed to get it done Matt? I'm tempted but I've enough on my plate at the moment with the business and a Triumph Stag.. ahem!
Ben,you're right,but you can't get enough of a good thing :lol:.

The vendor thinks it needs sills as well as the front end.Unless it's seriously rotten underneath the panels aren't a problem,it's just getting someone to fit them..........FRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

Went to see the old girl today and I'm afraid it isn't good news :(

From what I could determine she needs front wings (obviously),valance,crossmember,headlamp panels,a posts repaired,inner and outer sills,front floors and jacking points,spring hangers repaired/replaced,repairs to arches/rear quarters,rear light panel,rear valance (supplied) as is bonnet and good bootlid.Areas of the chassis looked like they may need some repair/replacement.The doors would probably re-skin and I'm sure there'll be bits that I've missed.On the plus side it's fairly complete and it's a TC Coupe :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've spoken to the seller again and the only interest has been in the interior/sunroof and bits of chrome.I get the impression a friend is storing it and it's in the way :| :|

What a shame it got left to get in such a state as it was a nice looking TC Coupe.
Was that Franks Damask TC coupe or someone elses?

With A heavy heart I have to report that this icon has now gone :( ............to some clown near Newcastle.........where's me spinning bow tie and face paint? :roll: :roll:

My opposite neighbour,who is trying to sell her house was delighted to witness it's arrival......perhaps :?

Fear not,I'll sort a garage and give it a stay of execution at the very least :wink:.He hasn't quite said as much,but I suspect Frank can't wait to get his hands on this one.I'm sure he dropped hints at the National.Well he didn't tell me to scrap it so he's obviously keen :lol: :lol:

Brian,the transport man,also had one of the first right hand drive Deloreans on the back of his truck :shock:.Presumably worth a few quid,he was quite bemused when the vendor taped up the front windscreen upon collection.When questioned,said chap stated that they "p*ss in water even in a heavy drizzle".So there you go,we're not alone on that one and we pay a lot less for the pleasure 8)
