I Finished My Abandoned DeLorean Project On TIME By Working On It For 30 Days Straight!

Alex this was absolutely wonderful. The entire Delorean series has been just stellar. This final episode though was epic. We enjoyed every second. We want to tell you just how much we appreciate your dedication to your craft. Where so many others say good, you say not good enough. You just don’t settle. We love that about you and your content. We love how you always seem to find a way. And being a man that puts faith and family first, I appreciate the sacrifices you make to get out top quality content even if at times you lose time with your family. That and your work ethic has earned my deepest respect. Look forward for what’s next.

Thanks so much Peter! I appreciate the kind words and for always watching. See you in the next video!

[@RUNDMC1]

Alex - 2.4k comments, you’ll probably never see this! But if you do… (as a 15 year owner myself), some quick wins - get that catalyst out and replace it with a decat pipe. Or alternatively whack a full stainless exhaust on. Consider running open loop and sacking off all the lambda shit. UK cars in this spec reliably put out 145bhp on dynos here. 15bhp extra isn’t much but you feel it! Until you get the aircon working lose the compressor, saves a tonne of weight and the extra work of the engine to spin it. Sure it’s been said already but you adjusted the springs the wrong way and increased ride height :) You’ve made some great choices already - LCA / extra supports, wilwood brakes etc. Thought I’d try and throw in some helpful suggestions :) Your car is looking fantastic. Incredible video series - have watched it all. Congrats 🎉

[@Cheesehead302]

I just binge watched all of your videos, I'm not super big into cars or anything but over the years I've watched a ton of videos on DeLorean restoration, and I've got to say from my perspective this is by far the most detailed, well edited, all inclusive collection of restoration videos on this car. The amount of work that you guys put into camera angles and making sure you touch on every random completely superfluous hick-up and quirk with this it is just super commendable. The choice to do all of this over the course of a couple months really did pay off both from a video presentation standpoint and the actual restoration itself, every part of this seemed to be made to be as informative as possible. Totally going to subscribe after this, it was just that impressive.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks so much!

[@davidt3563]

I love seeing you and your wife smile together. It just makes me happy. What a great finish to the whole series!

[@mitchgross592]

I can’t believe how emotionally tied I became to the completion of this project. You’re a great dad for doing this for your kids & the kids in the neighborhood. Personally I wouldn’t go Time Machine with it. There’s plenty of those out there. Also lots of electric conversions. I’d try to find a way to shoehorn a more powerful engine in there and turn it into the sports car it was always meant to be.

[@79huddy]

Wrx swap would be sweet and wouldn't be any less reliable but a whole lot more fun to drive

[@dannystephenson4855]

My thoughts exactly! LS swap that beast! They make LS conversion kits for Porsche so I'm sure they make one for the time machine😂

[@geraldscott4302]

I wouldn't modify it. It would seriously decrease the value. DeLoreans are collector cars. If you want a sports car to drive, get something more common and less valuable. And please ENOUGH with the time machine thing.

[@popupheadlights]

@@geraldscott4302eh this kinda sounds like a a forever car for him. What’s the point in value when you don’t plan to sell. In cars you want to keep forever fun always trumps value.

I am so glad you saw this through to the end and took us with you all the way. Your content this year has been the best so far, the space van and DeLorean projects have been so interesting. I also really appreciate giving the entire video a story like it's from BTTF, such a cool idea :).

[@realone4341]

I appreciate your selection of replacement parts, surface treatments and proper assembly techniques; it makes me feel good inside.

[@calebmcdonald8458]

Alex the spring on the rack keeps tension on the white piece which holds the gears together at the right pressure. The idea is that as the gears wear over time, the spring takes up the space and keeps the right pressure. Some manual racks have a bolt adjustment for this so you can tighten the rack over time, but the spring makes things really nice.

[@leonarperro]

Thanks, thats the confirmation I needed. I guessed the purpouse was to avoid developing any play as the gears wore out.

[@j3zz.tmf.guitarz]

[@OhHeyFergy]

This car is so clean it would be a shame to turn it into another replica time machine. You could just get some of the essential parts of the time machine parts like the mr. fusion, the flux capacitor, the rear "thrusters", time inputs, and some random hoses and basically make a "costume" for your car that you can easily put on and remove for events like car shows and Halloween. Then you can enjoy the car like normal but also have fun with it.
