De Lorean EuroTec

Hope you don't mind, I thought I'd post some updates on my Brickling re-furb progress.

So far I've:

Re-wired the doors / replaced the main rams and tested using an external pump to pressurise the tank.

Replaced a faulty Holly Carb with a new Edelbrock 600cfm quad barrel unit.

So today I started stripping down the front of the car to replace a leaking radiator and give me access to install an electric air compressor for the doors.

I think I've found the problem with the Air con too!

Nice progress ! keep the pics coming !!

That must have been one big bang when that exploded

Great work mate

Wierd looking cars but sort of nice , if you get my meaning

Bastard child of a TR7 and a Delorean, with a bit of shower tray thrown in for good measure.

Bit more progress today.

Looks like a PO took a cutting torch to the light actuator mounts for some reason

Hi Manx,

Thats a York A/C Compressor. Looks like it's thrown a rod. Usually by running with no gas and lost oil. I'd check the pressure switch before you fit a new one.

Used on Astons...

and on my V8



I can refurb them if you want......but not your old one as it's definately had it!

And here was me thinking you where up for a challenge!

Thanks Darren, I'd been doing a bit of research myself. I suspect the damage was done many years ago, the car has was sat in a museum for the last 20years!

When it happened the PO, or should that be POS, removed a number of other air-con related items. At the moment I'm going to skip re-instating the air-con and concentrate on the big ticket items need to get her on the road.

Now if your offering to rebuild the 727 Torqflite for me

Headlight actuators are vacuum and look similar to my corvette ones.

Hey Dan, they should they're exactly the same!

Turns out the hatchet job on the lights might actually be a factory recall, they did this to upgrade the lights on the original cars
