How to Restore a DeLorean | How It’s Made

This needs to be 3 hours long.

[@vwdmc16]

You mean 3 years long.

333 milleniums long

it might be too boring

[@xrmerkur]

My first introduction of the DMC - 12 was in photographs. Sometime around 1981-82, my dad traveled to the hills of California and snapped photos of a DeLorean parked curbside LA. I’ve admired this car ever since, especially the gull-wing doors. Over the years I’ve had the privilege to get close and see this wedge shaped vehicle several times. As I’ve learned more about the man and machine best known as DeLorean, I grew greater respect for his contributions to the automobile industry.

[@scottyd8]

Just go back in time and buy a new DeLorean. The Doc's alive !!!

“Now they’re restoring the Flux Capacitor, which makes time travel possible.”

[@B.Launders]

Is it weird that I read this with the same voiceover?

[@junreybade1738]

😂😂😂👍👍👍

[@davidkruse4030]

Yuk yuk yuk. Tired joke

[@dwayneharris3874]

A truly timeless classic.

[@edbrown2061]

They left out a bunch of stuff. Did they get rid of all the rust on the suspension parts, or leave it. Did they replace all the rubber bushings, shocks, bearings, etc. ? The underside of that unit looked in pretty bad shape. You could tell it had been sitting somewhere a very long time. Rust all over, including inside the fuel tank.

[@Zerinsakech]

You've got to have 3 episodes one hour long if you wanna see restorations like that. It's most likely they used multiple cars for this one video. showing different phases and such. Still pretty interesting to watch.

[@ww21943]

They definitely didn’t use the same car

[@davidmolin8944]

and they left out the part where they add the Mr. fusion reactor and Flux capacitor

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They also didn't discuss the interior, which is where the real art of restoration is best displayed.

[@Awesomest915]

“The DeLorean was manufactured in the 80’s, with doors and panels. The DeLorean was known as a car. These cars are in rough shape, but a restoration can make a DeLorean look like a Restorean.”

[@-4subscriberswithahammerad521]

Not gonna lie, I love this car Best of all, it can hit 88 miles per hour

[@JustJohn505]

I think 85mph was all it could hit They put a 95 mph sticker for the movie

[@get-the-lead-out.4593]

@@JustJohn505 4Subscribers was just being funny to note how in the Back To The Future movie Marty (Michael J Fox) had to do a speed of 88 mph in the Delorean in order to reach the right speed for time travel

[@rexthethoughtfult-rex4337]

Watching “How to Restore a DeLorean” like I _totally_ have one that I need to restore

[@JustJohn505]

You never know! Unless you are interested in buying one like me

[@HollywoodF1]

I've done a lot of research and I knew before I saw this that it was possible to restore one. The company that did this restoration, DeLorean Motor Company of Texas, has a branch location here in California. So I cousulted with them, bought a decent DeLorean that needed all the mechanical love that the one in this video did, but the interior and body were excellent. So I got the work done and it's the only car I've driven every day for the last 4 months. I kept my other car, and I'm feeling really guilty about driving it a few miles every 2 weeks. So what do we learn from this video? If you don't have one to restore, buy one. These folks will restore it. Then you'll drive a super unique and fun car that happens to be a super famous celebrity every day and it's amazing.

[@etakishinji7266]

@@HollywoodF1 how much did you pay for the restoration?

[@HollywoodF1]

I bought one that was in good shape but had been sitting for 15 years. These same people went through it and changed out the rubber bushings and hoses, and the little parts that are better today like fuel pump, alternator, water pump. Since then, it’s been like owning a normal car. I’ve driven it daily for over 5 years now with no problems. Remarkable for a 40 year old car.

[@rodolfovargas7952]

This is what makes Back to the Future iconic.

[@davidsondan7471]

If it wasn't for that movie this car would be as famous as an avanti.

[@charliemartin-k7m]

I always liked them for the style and I hate how so many get ruined with people adding all that movie bs in it.

[@maxstr]

Omg, yes!!! As much as I like watching how sombreros are made, this one is way more interesting.

Not if it can't make 88 mph.

The Delorean Motor Company in Houston is where this took place, & where I used to take my Delorean to. Bill was my favorite mechanic there to deal with. I'm sure they remember my red Delorean. Must make a stop there soon.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

This was so satisfying! I LOVE the Delorean and I hope to own a fully restored one in manual and with a State 3 engine one day.

[@cuttersgoose]

This not a restoration, this is a tune up, brake job and detailing.

[@oldsjunkie1]

Right? I was just thinking this is what used car lots do to everything that rolls through...To what was truly a terrible car with a terrible French engine that would barely push them.

[@skittlesbutwithchocolatein2274]

oldsjunkie1 we europeans can make stronger 4 cilinder than a v8 or a v6 that peugeot 206 wrc had 300 hp out of inline 4 turbocharged

[@Wilantonjakov]

@@oldsjunkie1 It really isn't a terrible car

[@kingprone7846]

@@skittlesbutwithchocolatein2274 i think the issue was that delorean wanted a rugged v6 they could turbocharge. they got that but the turbocharged model never came out. The v6 wasnt THAT slow for the 80s. it was sort of mid field. The delorean also afaik didnt handle that badly for a 8s car which is mainly caused by it being sort of large/wide unlike other cars of the era.

[@boowiebear]

Totally.....they didn't replace the brake rotors...they turned them....🤢

[@jakeandzack5763]

Kind of disappointed they didn't make a single Back to the Future reference, but it must have been a lot of restraint on behalf of everyone who worked on that show.

HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL

[@chandanjain7547]

[@JoshuaModerwell]

If I were fortunate to come across a restored DeLorean that someone wanted to sell at a fair reasonable price, I would definitely buy it, take it off of their hands and convert it into my very own replica of the time machine as seen of Back to the Future down to the last detail.

[@drivestowork]

I think I've seen three of them, ever. First time was in the mid 80s, an Air Force Colonel that lived in Bellevue, NE. I worked at an auto parts store and he came in for tail light bulbs. The screws holding the bezels on were rusting!? The second one I saw was in Kansas City, KS. It was Winter 2016, I was visiting my brother and it was in the parking lot of a shopping mall... evidently being used as a daily driver. The last one I saw was at an auto show in Omaha, NE just a couple years ago.

Bill was usually the only one working on my Delorean & a few times Steve Wayne worked on it as well which is rare to see him work on them. Bill & I were in the Houston Chronicle at the time John Z. Delorean passed away. He was great to deal with.

Johnny Carson was so disgusted with his, he left it on the highway when it developed electrical problems.

The chassis of cars aren't just infinitely strong to the point that you could drop any level of power in and the chassis would do fine. A Hellcat motor would tear this car limb from limb. It only weighs as much as a Ford Fiesta. About 350 bhp is where this chassis maxes out. But with that, weighing as little as it does, it would be a very fast car. It would be more or less a Cayman GT4.
