Vin 6511 - Dan's 2nd Delorean

[Dan 6511]

Well as my D is currently bobbing around the Atlantic ocean I have made a start stripping the engine out of my Volvo.

I got the engine out and took off all the volvo crap not needed for the delorean and cleaned out the valley which was full up with mud and crap. The block is sound thankfully, no rot down the deep holes

Experience might make this an easy job for you! Not for us, mere mortals

Great stuff. Have you got a date for delivery into Southampton? Are you using a shipping agent to handle the faff at this end?

[ALEXAKOS]

nice!
After 30 years of pulling a Volvo, this engine will be pushing a Delorean.....
Talk about a turning point for this block...
Great job Dan. Its always fun to prepare the grounds upon the arrival of the "american"

I'm actually looking forward to this new shitter arriving in a sort of sado massochistic way to be honest

More excuses to meet up with Dan?

[Dan 6511]

Tony just wants another engine to rebuild.... I think he's missing those swedish/french lumps of turd

Great Progress Dan,

As for the choice of engine.........

If you were going to build one of these would you have chosen this engine?

And when your finished with the Volvo, you could maybe make one of these ads?

Genuine ad (allegedly)

Good video skills though. No Spielberg material, but still nice.
