Yes I finally got one and sat proudly in it with a stupid grin in my face...


Custom handbrake leather boot



Rusty bolts bad nuts of handbrake and seats have been replaced by all stainless steel ones.


And created my custom brake bleeder. Old water bottle, and a battery breather hose. Perfect fit!



Unfortunately I had to postpone the brake bleeding as a frame hose joint had a small leak:s

I know this video is useless to you but is proof that I am fighting this dragon by my own.

I bled the clutch and wanted to see of of is working. So I placed my phone over the clutch slave cylinder and stepped on the pedal to see of it is doing anything..,

In the mean time I was assigned to find the legend Myron Stylianides. Dunmury's head of personnel and admissions.
I located him in Thessaloniki. Found his landline but did not get in touch with him. Too bad cause today is his nameday. A very important celebration for Greek Orthodox's!

Found a lighter smaller and more powerful replacement.
Did some scouting! Found out that the delorean stater is the same used on the more recent RENAULT 91-96 espace and safrane. valeo type d9 e 200




Perfect fit! Added oil fllter and oil pressure module.

What did you paint your engine with? I have my engine out of the car, steam cleaning it next week and was thinking about smartening it up before it goes back in.
