That and get a delorean that is NOT too good to drive.
I feel almost sorry to put this beauty out on the damn Greek dirty roads.

This has become a pristine delorean I am proud of but sorry to keep.

Plus my finances need a bit of a sunshine. 7 months unemployed already...

Long time no see huh?

Finally got around to install the windshield.
Old one out
Image
Image

during the process it cracked right in the middle without any drastic moves. I am afraid it would have cracked anyway over time.
Image

New one in...
Image

Today....
Pulled her out after 20 months in that garage...
Image

Loaded her up...
Image

And drove off into the sunrise... to get a new set of exhausts
Image

Right next to the exhaust store there was a Wheel alignment and tire shop.
Image

Took that opportunity to get the front wheels straightened... 5992 Did her first 3 meter drive on her own getting on that ramp.
SHIT the clutch is hard!!! :shock:
Image

Took an undercarriage photo while she was up there..
BLING BLIG!
Image

Front wheel set and lowered springs look great.
Image

Lefter to grab a bite. When I was back 8 guys were there with smart phones shooting her nuts! Word spreads fast now days.
Image

First full stainless Exhaust installed
Image

Both done
Image
Hold your breath guys..... Two FULLY CUSTOM MADE stainless exhausts 300 EUROS!!

Then transporter her into a K-jet specialist for the tuning.
Image

Tonight she will sleep with models!!!
