Merci mon amis!
Well, I am Greek! Now you know how Leonida's 300 were able to hold up the thousands of Xerxes at Thermopylae!

I am sure your passion can make you do miracles as well. Looking forward to your work done.

Took a trip down town to the MASTER of engines overhauling.
Bit my ass price wise, but he is second to none. Image
He has been in the business for over 40 years and is called "Gramps" (Grandfather). Business now run by his two following generations but he still runs the place and calls the shots
A fat $1300 will it cost me to have the valve heads as well as the complete engine block overhauled with new components.

The naked PRV
Image

Then went back home for some bench work. Taking apart he calipers to overhaul.
Image

On to 5992, steering wheel column removal
Image

Seat disassembly
Image
Image

Break cylinder removal
Image

Rear side covers, speakers and heat/sound gard removal
Image
Image
Image


Engine cover opening repair
Image
Image
I mean HONESTLY!!!! Who the hell thought of fastening that by puncturing the wheel haul. Where the water sprays with immense speed on to... Another Delorean engineering failure.

front speakers and Craig radio removal

BTW,
I saw this sticker on the lower part of the passenger seat.
It seems Greek to me.. No really! It looks Greek!

Anybody got a clue?
