As a born northern irish citizen we have some amount of pride for the delorean, being from there and all. sadly at the end of the company the guy who owned it tried to start an illegal drug business because it was going bankrupt, when he got found out his assets mightve been seized, so the remaining cars are prolly in some british warehouse. And company is either government owned or long dead.

[@hangarsacto]

That’s actually the tachometer you are pointing at that goes to 80, or 8,000. The speedometer is on the left-hand side, and it actually only goes to 85. For the movie car, they had to make a new graphic that took it to 95, you can see this at the Peterson automotive museum.

[@flightpath22]

When I first got my learners permit, my dad delivered a lot of rv’s, campers, and conversion vans out of the Middlebury, IN area. It was during the return runs where I got my early driving experience in an ‘88 F350 crew cab dually with a 460-V8 and 5spd pulling an empty gooseneck trailer long enough to hold 2 LWB extended F150 conversion vans. It was huge. Here’s my point, he taught me the easiest way to back a trailer, and I assure you it will help you. While backing, you need to do three things: (1) back slowly, don’t rush, (2) hold the steering wheel at the top and watch your mirrors, when trying to straighten up turn towards the mirror in which you see the trailer, (3) and finally, especially when backing a bumper or hitch pulled trailer continue to hold the wheel at the noon position and make small inputs/corrections. Usually 90* is enough, you may need to turn nearly 180*, however the trailer will come about very quickly, even if you are just crawling. If you keep ahold of the wheel at the top position (with the wheels printed straight ahead) you can go 90 or more either way and always find the straight ahead position quickly to move straight back. It sounds a little strange, but go find a large empty parking lot with lines or cones and practice. Try what I’ve said, you’ll be shocked how quickly you’ll improve. As a professional driver with a CDL, I feel I should say this as well…if possible always set yourself up so that you are backing in an arc to your left, or as it’s known ‘sight-side backing.’ Blind-side backing is more difficult and it is much harder to confidently place the right side of your vehicle.

[@anabelbarajas]

That little girl is going to remember that moment forever. Such an awesome car! I can’t wait to see what you guys do with it. Awesome work Alex and team

[@quinnjones9635]

My express 6.0 oil pressure was idling around 18 and was slowly getting worse. Got around 25 psi at cruising speed and barely 30 at full throttle. Replaced oil pickup tube and swapped to the recommended acdelco gold oil filter and now I get 21 at idle and around 30-33 cruising and 40+ at full throttle. I'd start with those 2 items, easy enough.

[@123karismith]

Yup, that O-ring on the PU tube starts to fail...

[@quinnjones9635]

I was told nothing was wrong by multiple people including mechanics and that it was completely normal, good thing I'm stubborn and have a little common sense. My 4.8 express was getting as high as 55 psi and idles around 25. I know that they are not exactly the same engine, but I refused to believe there would be that much of a difference between the two engines.

[@leevandyke8524]

Tips to backing up a trailer…… rest your right hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Don’t move your hand from the spot. If you wish the back of the trailer to go to the left, take your hand that is on the steering wheel at the bottom and move it to the left. Vice versa for the right your hand to the right back of the trailer goes to the right.

[@acoustikguit]

[@williamgreen1489]

Thanks for making that little girl happy. It is a project, but you will do it justice, slow and steady. I'm sure there are some clubs out there that can help out with parts.

[@mopson]

Hey Alex, the best way to back up a trailer is to put a tape on the 6 o'clock of your steering wheel. After that you turn the tape in the direction you need the trailer to go. In effect, it will be the opposite of what you do when you back up your vehicle without a trailer. The tape in the 6 o'clock position is a seamless way to remember. Give it a try!

[@kevinstorm6009]

No tape required; just put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. Easiest way to do it ever.

[@allusernamesistaken]

That’s silly. Just practice for 5 minutes. It’s just muscle memory.

[@christianmaheu9565]

like I always say... for the trailer to turn right the nose of that trailer need to go to the left so U turn left

[@jeremyjones8872]

Im soo confused😂

[@jwalster9412]

Upside down racing wheel.

[@JustinJoyinglife]

Little trick for backing up trailers. Put your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel. Then if you want the trailer to go left, you move your hands left like usual. Takes the reversing direction out of it. Sick project. I'm thankful you share it with everyone.

[@pkt1213]

I always taught people, when trying to back straight, if you see more trailer in one mirror more than the other, turn the wheel in that direction a bit.

[@chrisbartlett6022]

@@pkt1213 ditto, you sort of "push" the trailer out of that mirror till you see it in the other and "push" it back. Obviously getting it right is a bit more complicated, unless like my Brother who is dyslexic and just stops thinking about what he is doing and automatically does things back to front. Of course both above suggestions work.

[@JustinJoyinglife]

I learned that trick on a farm I worked on. It's helpful because it takes the thought process of flipping directions out of it. And can be modified easily. For instance, if you're backing up doubles (two trailers) your hand goes back to the top and the direction you turn is the direction the rear trailer will go. Still takes practice to nail, but it's a cheat code for starting out. And mirrors are super important. Especially for low trailers or trailers you can't see out of the rear. But I didn't mention that because I figured it was a given lol.

[@chrisbartlett6022]

@@JustinJoyinglife indeed, horses for courses, some things work better for some than others. I had to be in the zone to reverse doubles, or a trailer with a drawbar axle. I had a Land Rover with an off set front tow ball on the bumper, sometimes it was worth the added time to turn the landy round and push the trailer along. Of course wouldn't it be good to be able to hitch the trailer to the rear axle (or rather above it) like with a 5th wheel

[@dangeary2134]

[@robertatkinson9966]

Hi Alex, when loading your trailer try to put the weight over the axles evenly, also a set of scales for bathroom so you are able to measure the nose weight for the toy hitch on your van, I promise it will tow much better, won't snake and stop easier. I don't mean to be a pain only thinking of you and your safety. Hope it all goes well, best regards Bob.

[@ignacioporchas7305]

That's the first thing I noticed too close to the front of the trailer and also please cross your tow straps oooffff!

[@ytmjdehlin]

When you lifted the louver it hit the stainless T panel on the roof because the underlying roof box structure that is glued to the fiberglass underbody has started to come unglued. You need to re-secure the roof box to the fiberglass with some screws or bolts, and the louver will no longer hit. Common issue and not too difficult to repair, but you need to unload the torsion bars for the doors to do it, which can be tricky if you have never done it. Would highly recommend having DMCMW perform this procedure.

[@alexbland7890]

I was thinking the same thing. Need too even out the load, luckily it is a light car but in the future he needs to move that back to even out the weight

[@scottwilliams1976]

Tell me you've never towed without telling me you've never towed

[@scottwilliams1976]

​@ytmjdehlin why you telling this bloke? He didn't buy the car

[@rodney1818]

You might want to remember to try and keep your load close to the center of the axal of the trailer as you can to prevent van swaying

[@JoshLanners]

More tongue weight is more better for less sway. That is a 3500, it can take it. I say he did it correctly.

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

Isn't the usual thing with a trailer like that as you have 10% of the total weight on the tongue?

[@deloreannation]

This is a great barn/garage find story. Really looking forward to seeing this thing come back to life 🤟🏼

[@arseniwedd4737]

Those straps around the handles actually are factory, the early Delorean models simply had straps wrapped around the door handles while in the later models the straps were made to have their own fixed place in the door near to the handle. Also just note that the automatic Deloreans are actually rarer than the manuals, since out of the 9000 built only 1000 were automatic, so who knows how many are left now. Also side note for when you start the engine, check all the fuel lines as since they are all most likely original they’ll be made of rubber and probably damaged and cracked at this point, so I would highly recommend replacing them before you try and start the engine. Really happy for you guys since you found an absolute icon!

Amazing find. You are a lucky man. I’m an ex truck driver, so let me give you a tip on trailering. It’ll help. Put you hand on the bottom of your steering wheel. Whichever way you want your trailer to go, move your hand ( and the bottom of the wheel) in that direction. And you need surprisingly little movement, and want to ‘float’ the trailer - little movements on the wheel and just let the trailer float in the right direction. Big movements will get you all catty wampus. Can’t wait to see more of your incredible journey with this car. Good luck. 👍

The PRV is a fairly good engine and typical of a V6 from that era. In Europe the 2.7i was rated at 155bhp, but i guess the US emissions stuff took that down. You can drop in a 3.0 V6 24v PRV from a Peugeot 605. That is the last version of the PRV made in 1997 and was 200bhp.

I've been restoring a friend's DeLorean, VIN 1053 and yeah, you're probably going to put $20K-$30K into this to get it sorted. These are some of the most difficult and annoying cars to work on. You should consider just spending the money and upgrading things as you go along, the suspension design by Lotus is absolutely horrendous. KW coilovers are probably worth the premium over the stock shocks as I completely redid the suspension with stock shocks and it rides like crap still. You should definitely upgrade the brakes.

[@stuartd9741]

Thanks for the info interesting. Why is the suspension horrendous if it was designed by Lotus? Unless you mean in the sense everything rusts together...

[@EdwardM104]

@@stuartd9741 it's very similar to the design of the Eclat and the early Esprit. Lotus updated the design in the Esprit but the DeLorean was never updated. A couple of videos that show what's going on with the worst offender, the front suspension: watch?v=jiJ4sDiurdI (video called 'DeLorean LCA, FEA Analysis (a work in progress)') and watch?v=CMHO4Aydk04 (video called 'DeLorean LCA Flex') The lower control arms are thin sheet metal and not boxed at all no real reinforcements at all, they love to crack because of the excessive movement. The sway bar is also very soft metal, not a proper spring steel, and doesn't do well to triangulate the movement of the lower control arm. The rear suspension also has issues related to the pivot bolt of the trailing arm bending or shearing off. The original bolts were low grade and not well suited to the task, but it was also a poor design. Unlike most high load suspension bolts, the bolt is only located by a bracket on one side, not both, causing significant shear force and bending moment to be applied to the bolt. This is mostly solved with better grade bolts, some people also use Inconel bolts for this and seemingly have zero failures but those bolts are $$$$. DeLoreans seem to have more issues with these suspension designs than the Lotus cars but I've seen similar complaints from owners of early Esprits, never seen a Eclat to be honest.

[@stuartd9741]

[@540iadicted]

Alex, on the oil pressure question: In January I supercharged my H2, it always had oil pressure similar to yours; Within acceptable spec by GM, but certainly lower than ideal and personally uncomfortable to me. Come so find out it's definitely an LQ4/LQ9 iron block 6.0 characteristic. I also live in Phoenix, so the excessive heat makes it even worse. When doing the blower setup, I pulled the engine for a quick and dirty refresh, and went back together with a Melling high volume pump with the strongest spring. I now cold start at 80psi, hot idle at 50, and hot cruise at about 70. Much happier and much more margin for error. Definitely recommend doing this sooner than later. I also get 8.6mpg highway. LOL

[@SeanPennII]

That's interesting. I bought an 04 Escalade with the lq9, I've been getting 35 at hot idle. And it's got 200k, I guess I should be happy. I always feel it's low since it's not 40.

I remember it took me about 45 minutes to back up a street with a standard lawn mower trailer

[@jasonguthrie8493]

How could anyone see a Delorean and not be happy and excited! Definitely brings me back when I was a kid first seeing it in the movie and being amazed! Great find Alex, can’t wait to see more videos on it!! Oh and Max great job with the trailer ability! 🤙

[@JGarcia2016]

A delorean is a kid from the 80's or even 90's dream car even though we already grown man but we all still a kid inside.

[@davidfinch1066]

LOVED this! Great job you two!

[@ahmadriyad07]

Always scratches an itch to see detailing videos. Considering just how rare the Delorean is, I’d say you’re on track to be the first to release a video detailing a freaking Delorean!! Very exciting.

[@braxtonnelson5375]

You can't help but be excited along with Alex on this adventure! Such a cool car... and in such good condition-- well worth the purchase price (especially if the engine is a runner! That fuel injection can be a booger!) It's not too often that I am so excited to see future videos, but on this one, I can't wait! Also, kudos to law enforcement on this video for looking out for safety issues and being the good guys that the great majority truly are!

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Great find and save of that classic! The trick to backing a trailer is to put your hand at the bottom of your steering wheel when backing. Which ever way you hand goes, the trailer will also move in that direction.

[@00Steve007]

I love Back to the Future movies. Ever since I was a kid, You're awesome for getting a Delorean Alex. Love your videos keep up the great work!

[@twRage96]

Your car finds and content are off the charts lately, Alex! Loving the videos, can't wait for this one.

[@patrickcandler1330]

Very cool find! As someone who has worked on one... Recommend replacing the wire harness. They tend to melt the fuse box. If u add a few grounds it should prevent it from melting the fuse box. U can actually get Alot of parts from a company that sells delorean parts. They are so simple to work on. Just different. Lol can't wait to see ur content in the future on this time machine of your's!

[@jthompson1982]

23:09 "Look at this, this is how the speedo is, it only goes to 80" while pointing to the rev counter. The speedo is the one to the left of where you're pointing. I'm not even mad though dude, I'd be unable to think straight if I had just bought a DeLorean! Congrats!

[@smokindrummer]

Congrats! You are so lucky to have found your dream car. I always liked the look and style of DeLorean's Also, just found your channel and I have sub. Looking forward to all the DeLorean updates!

[@layamccreedy5101]

Alex, I'm legit jealous of you right now! The DeLorean has been my dream car since I was a child. This is going to be an excellent restoration? Build? Can't wait to see what you have planned! Going to be following this series very closely!

[@ozzyman640]

Saturday morning car content has never been better 🤙🏼

[@rcm7900]

Best part of video was with girl and her mom . It was very sweet . Your a good guy thanks for the videos

[@kduzick]

Been watching for a few years now, love to see the progress and love your enthusiasm. Never change bro!

[@Broadpaw_Fox]

At 37:30 - a suggestion for any future issues like that stuck brake - if you get the caliper off like you did, just remove the pads if it won't retract the piston by force. No brake pads, no drag, but also no dripping brake fluid and less overall trouble. 😉

[@Andrew4181975]

I was thinking that the entire time too after he got the caliper off.

[@kierangoebel1738]

Was thinking that too until I noticed the pins holding the pads in. Highly doubt those would come out easy. Faster to pull the caliper and plug the line as he did

[@darrylm79]

Alex - you keep outdoing yourself! The DeLorean is such a blast from the past. I'm so excited for you and all the LSC goodness awaiting future videos. You can tell you absolutely love your job and it shows. I'm looking forward to the next video.

[@brettconv83]

Super cool man! I was born in 1983 so I was always taken by Back to the future and the DeLorean. John was a visionary for sure. The car never got the proper shake it deserved. Your living many of our dreams. Keep it going!

[@matthewwilson1044]

Very excited for this build. Congrats!

[@MastaT_150]

It’s quite possible you got pulled over the first time for drug interdiction reasons and they just used the loud exhaust as a reason to pull you over and check you out. If you think about it a nondescript van makes for a good target as a probable smuggling vehicle coupled with the fact that you have Illinois plates and Chicago is one of the nations major hubs for the narcotics trade you might have piqued his interest.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Nice!!!! Always liked the DeLorean 👍🏼👌 Yes, on 1981 there were cassettes but also 8 track were still available 😁 DeAleorean😁👌 The 4Life are vitamins stuff

[@claudelandi510]

The orignal owner switched the radio to the later model that was installed in the Deloreans....because the early radios had a tendency to break the electronic ribbon that was on the cassette door that showed the digital LED channels.

[@ianswann2792]

One of the best Vids so far Alex! You have taken this to another level! Can’t wait to watch the first turnover and detailing. Best car Chanel on YT! Keep it up Alex!

[@petebirtles5493]

Alex this video has to be up amongst the best things I've watched you do in all the years I have subscribed to your channel I've laughed cried and smiled my way through every single second of it just awesome my friend just awesome 👍👍👍

[@jtuesley2352]

Great Scott! This build is going to be heavy!

[@twinturboZz]

Alex, you are a class act buddy! Good to see that this success has not gone to your head! Always love watching your stuff but the fact that you are so nice to random people makes me stick around! LSC rules!! 🤘

[@PlayitagainVHS]

Congratulations on ur New DeLorean. 👍🏻🙂 I love ❤️ the DeLorean but it's my 2nd favorite. My dream car will forever be the 1978 Trans Am / Smokey and the Bandit car.👍🏻🙂

[@mohammedwalji6272]

This is amazing!!!! Loved hearing you’re working on this here in Minnesota! I’d love to come and check this out and meet you! Good luck on the project.

[@burkyfilms]

you constantly make content i cant wait to keep watching more of. the genuine happiness in this one is clear. cant wait to see what you do with this one

[@Sauerbrew777]

I'm so excited for you! It's always nice seeing someone's dream come true. I can't wait to see you get to take your family for rides once it's done!

[@DavidSmith-jb6wg]

Looking forward to your next work .had the pleasure of driving a Delorean in Tulsa Oklahoma back in 1983 while on a holiday from Ireland..

[@isaaccan3155]

So sweet you made that little girls day.

[@drasticmart]

I’m so happy for you Alex!! I’m just as excited to see you bring this back to life!!

[@techienerd5451]

Congrats Alex! My all-time favorite car and the fact that you got one that has been sitting for years is amazing!

[@mykehdoom]

I cant wait to see this fixed up! My childhood dream car... Oh man am I jealous.

[@Metered_Air]

I once (ok, three times) went through the whole Bosch k-jet system on a Volvo 240 turbo. It is SUCH a cool system. It’s also hell. Can’t wait to watch you get yours tip top!

[@carguygibby]

Congratulations on finding that DeLorean, Alex. Can't wait for the follow up videos. As for the oil pressure, my G8 ran that way for a very long time. I recently had a DOD delete done along with a new high volume oil pump. Oil pressure has doubled!😮

[@Jebbby]

This is going to be my favorite series in all youtube by FAR! I was lucky enough to buy my dream car, a delorean, about 5 years ago. So excited for you!

[@TheHertsHammer]

I seen to remember the factory front control arms are poorly designed and quite flimsy. I think there's a common mod to weld some more beef into them for better stability. Might be worth looking into.

[@colmart1973]

Looking forward to this guys!, loved the back to the future films and history of the car company itself 🇮🇪👍

[@Rags74017]

Absolutely fantastic video, very excited for this series!!!!!! Y’all kill these videos, good to see max venturing out from behind the camera!!!!

[@TiptronicSS]

All LSC video's are cool, but this is just special. I can't wait for the next video. Just do everything right to not get any permanent damage, keep everything as original as possible. Keep parts that are changed. This is a gem. I would love my own DeLorean 😄

[@jimf5160]

simple tip for trailer backing. put your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel...to move the trailer right, move your hands to the right and vice versa.
