I Finished The 120-Hour Restoration Of My Rodent Infested DeLorean! Sat Abandoned For 32 Years!

Thanks so much to all the new viewers! If you guys like the content, consider subscribing! It's super free and really helps the channel! Alex

BTW for the fuel distributor, do NOT separate the halves. It's not necessary, and it's incredibly difficult to reseal it properly without the alignment tools. There is an O ring you're going to want to check, and is a wicked PITA to reinstall without damaging it. Clean out the injectors for sure. I can send you pictures from the manual and Bosch mechanical fuel injection manual if needed. Going to want to make sure you check the valley, underneath the intake, for coolant and deterioration.

If John Delorean were alive and saw your work, he would smile and give you a big hug; everything is in the detail. Congrats from Costa Rica! 💯 🇨🇷

That restoration reveal has been one of the most iconic ones of the channel. That car is beautifully, imperfectly perfect. You kicked butt, Alex! Max - the reveal edit was awesome! Thank you!

The DeLorean looks absolutely incredible! It's hard to believe it originally sat in a shed fir 30+ years. It looks brand new right off the line.

Been a sub for a few years now and this build has been epic. You have put a lot of work to get to where you are and you have motivated me to build my own cars also. Keep doing what you doing Alex.

When the car is lowered in the front it's going to be a SHOW STOPPER... what a transformation Alex. You are the ONLY channel I can see for an hour straight and still enjoy the whole show. (I actually saw that missing decal part in the DMC) so you know I actually saw the whole video lol

You can tell he LOVES LOVES LOVES this car. I wish you would restore mine with the passion you did this. I know it would last a lifetime. Thanks for all the content Alex

Hey Alex. Super fine job you're doing. On the decals, try using soapy water in a spray bottle. Spray the panel, apply decal and squeegee out the excess water along with the air bubbles. You need to keep the paper on until you finish the squeegee process. Then remove it. Decal will stay in place. When you do it this way, it's easier to manipulate the decal to where you want it. Cheers.

As an ol G subscriber, I must say this has been the most epic rebuild series... as a guy who was born and raised in Africa, we didn't know much about Deloreans except from the photos we hang on our walls.. this series is something else... thank you Alex for this... we truly appreciate you...

You say your not artistic. You rebuilt a damn De Lorean!!! That's artistry.

There's a reason why people like the Hyundai Vision 74. It's because the DMC-12 is so iconic. Its a look that'll never go stale. Incredible restoration. It looks almost brand new, heck, better than new with how much work you put in to dialing in the panel gaps

Hey LSC, re: heatgun restore of plastics. I have found that if you apply the armor all plastic trim restore/conditioner first, you end up with an even better result. (I think it has something to do with locking in the chemicals that keep the plastics from drying up), this has been my go-to for old plastics for AGES, and it works great. The oldest piece I have around was restored this way 20 years ago, has never seen a garage, and still looks brand new after 20 years of weather. Give it a try sometime on a spare piece, you won't be disappointed! (note: I only ever use a heat gun.)

Congratulations. Your restoration work is astounding. What a tribute to John De Lorean and his Irish Employees that delivered on his vision. Your car literally goes back in time. Best of luck with your time capsule. Enjoy and thanks for the videos.

That car looks like a miracle. I’ve watched every episode in anticipation and you totally wowed us! Great job Alex!

Absolutely love this series! Great job on the restore. Your enthusiasm and humor throughout was the chef’s kiss.

Alex I think you have single-handedly re-invigorated interest back in the DeLorean DMC-12! Your passion for the restoration is unbounded and infective. What an experience this must has been from barn find to where it is now in a month or so. It was nice to see Mike and Co from Midwest DeLorean helping you so much, as well as the other businesses you spoke about. It makes me want to try and find a DeLorean where I live in Australia, but sadly this car was never sold here. Only a handful of personal imports exist and are unobtanium. I think it was around 2004, when I saw my first DeLorean close up at a small weekend car show in Chippewa Falls in the US. Actually it ended up there were 2 cars at the same event. I still remember the experience. Anyway cannot wait to see the next exciting chapter. Enjoy mate.
