DeLorean Service Northwest

We have a car that is up for sale on consignment from DeLorean Service Northwest. It's a very nice example, owned by one of the founding members of the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club.

1981 DeLorean DMC-12 5-speed manual transmission Grey interior in great shape 22,176 Miles Desirable grooved hood This is a very nice example of a 1981 DeLorean that has been well cared for, with most desirable upgrades already completed. This DeLorean has been in the Pacific Northwest since new, so...

This is for any DeLorean owner out there who has struggled to replace the hot water valve in their cherished Stainless Steed ...

This is how it was done in a 1939 Bentley.

For those scoring at home ... this engine has over 199,000 miles on it, and is 87 years old!

We had a very interesting and unique visitor to the shop today. It rolled in on a flatbed, after suffering from a "failure to proceed" on a local freeway.

This is a 1939 Bentley convertible with an extremely rare configuration of features - one of three built in 1939. A beautiful work of automotive art, with a shade over 199,000 miles on the clock. They just don't make'm like this anymore.

Oh ... and we resolved the failure to proceed! This gem should be ready for its next parade - July 4th.

We often serve customers who don't own a DeLorean, but enjoy other types of exotic vehicles. This is not our "core work", but it is very satisfying to help someone keep an "old family friend" on the road. We are currently entertaining a very special Lotus Esprit V8 - one of 100 of the special edition "25th Anniversary" cars. The car came in for a simple oil change, but started making rude noises while on the drive to our shop. By the time the owner arrived, the transmission was making an awful racket. These cars have a transmission that is very similar to the 5-speed trannys found in DeLoreans.

Following are a few pictures of our findings so far. The bottomline is that the clutch is worn out, with stripped splines, and there is also a damaged input shaft in the transmission - a very similar part to the DeLorean version.

We have been doing some service work on a heavily modified Jensen Healey. These cars have Lotus engines, so they fit in with some of the other Lotus projects that we have been involved with over the years. The engine work on this particular Jensen Healey involves taking care of a number of oil leaks, improving the crankcase ventilation, and creating some custom stainless steel covers for moving parts on the engine. Definitely a change of pace from working on DeLoreans!

We had a very nice visitor yesterday who popped in for a social call. Looking as fine as the day she rolled out of our shop over three years ago.

I mentioned an upcoming roof box replacement project in another thread. We are nearly complete with the project. The condition of the original roof box was stunning ... and not in a good way. External inspection of the roof box prior to the work didn't really look all that bad. There was some lifting of the roof box along the edges, and some corrosion on some visible fasteners. However, once we dug into it, the structure was completely compromised. The new roof box was provided by the customer and was sourced from DPI. The installation went fairly smoothly, considering where we started from.

We are pleased to announce that we have a good stock of DeLorean windshields available immediately. These are part number 110076B, and are made without the early embedded antenna. These brand new windshields are priced at $600 USD, plus shipping or installation (if applicable). Shipping is via motor freight, and the shipping cost depends on the location that the part is shipped to. Installation is available right here at our shop.

An urgent request - we sent a set of the Drayron sequential tail lights to a customer in Prescott, Arizona. The package was delivered by UPS today, set on top of a mailbox out on the road. The package was then stolen by somebody a bit later. If you hear of anyone in that area who is trying to sell a set of these awesome tail lights, could you please contact me so that we can perhaps get these back? That would be fabulous! Thanks gang!

Here is what I believe to be the smallest component part found in a typical DeLorean. Care to guess where it goes, and what it does?
