Shame about the phone! Would be great to see chassis pics!
Where did you get the steering wheel? Pinch it off an electric DeLorean?
Haven't seen one for sale. Looks sweet!

That is a MOMO EVO wheel. The adapter I made my self by modifying a GM adapter (as seen in earlier posts of this thread)
Wheel was bought off ebay.co.uk, center emblem was self made

Been very disappointing with my engine issue. 
I have taken it to 4 shops that specialize in engine rebuilt and bolt manufacturing to get it sorted. They all diverted my to the next shop as it is an impossible task for them. That bolt is tightened at high pressures and have to withstand vibrations and temperatures. Must be treated accordingly.
Now my final hope is a shop that specializes in creating new threads and bolts. Even he is very pessimistic about the outcome. After that... its get a new engine.
Having spent over 1200 EUROS already on that block to make it new.
To divert my focus on something positive, I was fooling around with my custom made floor mats.
Painted it for starters, but that didn't look too fancy.
left painted / right stainless steel
So I am going with a brushed stainless lettering to glue on with a 2 component glue.
Just have to choose it its the full name or the abbreviation
Those letters are remainders of a project of mine soon to be announced to ya folks. The other sets of letters I have left I am selling on ebay.

I am with you on that one!
PLUS the DMC is again written right next to the mat's corner on the door sills.
