@DontSmokeCrack11 8 месяцев назад

Alex, I'm so sorry for you. I've done several Jeep CJ 5 & 7's, which are notorious for frame and body rust. I've been in your shoes every time. The dejection is terrible. The you put your Carhartt's on, roll your sleeves up just start working. When it's all said and done, it's taken far more time than you imagined and you have 5x's more money than you'll ever be able to get out of it. It's just a work of love, and when it's finally complete it's almost a letdown. And you think to yourself, "I know what to look for now." And you end up with another one that's just as much work. Some people do crack, some do alcohol, some to cars. Although, cars can lead to alcohol... 😂😂

@stuartd9741 8 месяцев назад

It's definitely a crap shoot that's for sure. .. It's looking like a replacement frame which there are options available.. Even then Alex still wouldn't be upside down considering he paid at the lower end for the Delorean... With a replacement frame the value of the car goes up. I've suggested, see if OJ could make. One off bespoke frame using the original as a template. Knowing the top work they do at FMU it would be stronger than the original.. Only say this as Alex said this is a lifetime keeper..

@Gadget0343 8 месяцев назад

For those hoses on pipes, also silicone boots, try a spray cleaner like 409. It is slippery for assembly and dries and makes the parts stick together so they don't want to blow off. Silicone spray stays slippery and is much more likely to blow off.

Hi, greeting from a Norwegian fan. Very fun to hear your conversation with the old owner and his history about Norwegians interest in AMCars. I can confirm this interest, even though todays interest is mostly in electric cars. Probably the country in the world with most Teslas per captiva. But luckly also probably the country outside US with most vintage AMCars per captiva. Keep up with your good content and your positiveness☺️👍👍

@utha2665 8 месяцев назад

Hey there, just reading your comment and just wanted to make a simple correction for you. The word is "per capita" not captiva. I am learning German at the moment and very early on in the process so I understand little things like this are easily missed. FYI, the interest in EVs has spread to me in Australia, I have just purchased my first Tesla and waiting for it to arrive.

@theodorgiosan2570 8 месяцев назад

If I was thinking in terms of easiest swap, I would build a 3.0 PRV out of an Eagle Premier. That engine already has DIS, modern EFI, is a direct swap, and costs about 200 bucks in most junkyards. Control it with a Haltech ECU and add a turbo or two. If cost was no object? My first choice would be a TDI V10, but if it didn't fit, I would have to say a GM 1.2 or 1.3 3 cylinder, the LIH, or L3T. These are sub-200 lb engines, all forged internals, that stock make either 137 or 155HP on 87 octane. Take one of those, control it with a Link Force GDI ECU, upsize the turbo by quite a bit, and tune it for 93 octane. Sub 200lb engine that makes 250-300HP easily, possibly even more. The design of the block, pistons, and rods is so advanced compared to something like a 2.0 Ecotec, or Honda engine, that I am sure it can handle much more. I mean it has DLC coated wrist pins, seriously. Cast iron cylinders cast into an aluminum block with a full bed plate. And just all of the latest technology. And they can be had for $1500 or so. The engine isn't the expensive part, it's an ECU capable of controlling it.

The amount of work you have to put into the DeLorean might seem overwhelming right now, but you know it'll be worth it eventually. There's an older man close to where I live that has completely restored a DeTomaso Pantera. It took him almost 20 years, as he had to remove everything all the way down to the bare frame. While he's never going to have a project anywhere as intense as that one, he's proud of his work. He knew that he wouldn't be satisfied with mediocre work in the long run.

When you get around to engine disassembly, you might want to have the “valley of death” anodized. It surface hardens fairly well and looks amazing in different colors.

Hey Alex, man I can feel your pain! You were really bummed out with the frame situation. Keep up the good work man. At least once the frame is removed and done right that car will be 100%! Plus, it would be great content! 💪🏼

I had a 98 Lincoln Mark 8 and I loved that car. Hid headlamps and the neon tail light was my favorite part of the car. And the 32 valve dual overhead cam V8 is an awesome engine

Found the channel through this project, great work man and you got a new subscriber!

I feel for you, first the valley of death and now the frame. Definitely a good excuse to go to town and upgrade the handling and performance 'will you're in there'

Bougie d'allumage is the French word for Spark plug. Loving your restoration. I grew up near the Delorean factory in Ireland. Keep up the good work. Paul.

Very good work!!! Recomendation,, cover the engine holes with something to prevent something from entering and then having problems!!

So cool to get to speak to the original owner and get the history of the car. As far as fixing things, since you plan to keep it forever I would go with a full frame-off restoration. An LS swap seems the most obvious for the car and your knowledge of the powerplant.
