Here are a few pics of my car. I recently rebuilt the chassis and polybushed the suspension and fitted a freeflow exhaust. Fitted far too many new parts to list!

Engine is original stock delorean engine running on volvo 760 fueling with no lambda or frequency valve. Rolling roaded at 147.4 HP at eurotec this year.

Can anyone spot what is missing from the car at the moment?

BTW I hope you didn't replace the TABs when rebuilding - those were a set of my Inconel 718 bolts (same as Toby TABs but the correct thread).

Hi Martin. I kept those Tabs don't worry. I checked them out and they weren't bent at all. I had the rear set up for alignment though. 4 shims on one side and 1 on the other side to make it correct!!

I already have some outer door seals waiting to go on when my windscreen surrounds are back from the powdercoaters ;)

The front plate fell off when I bought the car for some reason ;)

I also just noticed that top picture was taken when it had no tax either woops.

Got a distant recollection of Dave refusing to take it off at the student film project thingy we did in Wolverhampton many moons ago because it was stuck on so hard. He then re-registered it with MXI 1981, just in time to register it back onto DGS before selling it.

BTW have you done much with the brakes? That was the only thing letting that car down mechanically (long time ago now tho).

Nope the brakes are absolutely fine. The only thing I've done is put braided hoses on the rear to match the front, they came with the car but not fitted for some reason. What used to be the problem with them?
