Fixing the World's Cheapest DeLorean For LS Fest! | Roadworthy Rescues

This build should have been on Derick's channel. Would have liked to see a much more in depth look at what it took to make this build happen.

[@davidbryant5875]

Yes

[@pileofstuff]

This isn't the full episode. The full one is about 20-30 min longer and has more of the shop work, and more racing at the end. It's on Motortrend's subscription streaming service. (or , y'know,* other* places...) This one is from Season 2, episode 12

[@Hotlog69]

@@pileofstuff MotorTrend doesn't have a streaming service anymore.

[@MaverickBlue42]

The full episodes require a MotorTrend subscription. I don't know why they don't just put them all on youtube, the ad revenue would probably dwarf whatever they're getting for subscriptions right now.....

[@Hotlog69]

Now that just looked like a fun car to build. No special requirements, no parameters that you had to meet. Just build it and drive it. Love those kind.

I’m not even a Delorean fanatic, and it hurts me to see this thing being manhandled like this. There’s only so many original parts left. Even if you want to do a swap, you don’t have to cut through so many components that just don’t exist anymore. Where’s the car guy love for cars?

FWIW, the original prototypes weighed about 500lbs less than the production models and were also mid engine like an MR2. I think it is fair to say what came out of the factory was not what the original designers had in mind from the rip.

As a DeLorean owner I had issue with “the car should have lasted 10 minutes.” My car brings smiles wherever it goes and the values are only going up.

[@colubrinedeucecreative]

It's ok, he may have upset all 10 of you but think of the 5 million of us that laughed at the joke. LOL JK! You got to admit the thing had it's shortcomings. That engine was garbage. It was more about the time though, smog regulations and import rules, and trying to start a car buisness was all just way too much. So it led to a limited run, and thanks to several famous uses of it, it is a cult of personality now. It makes most everyone smile still and is a feature everywhere it goes. So many of us Gen Xers dreamed of owning one sone day. Awesome you managed to get one! Will check your channel out. Did you keep engine original? I am sure they could be made work but it might take injection rework, wiring rework, etc I would think? Derek is just trying to be funny. Not sure it really had the desired effect though. Maybe should have read the room on this one. His lack of respect for this is cringeworthy.
