VIN 11408, getting it back on the road!
Well here is my build of my 1982 Delorean, just acquired two days ago. Now starts the long process of getting it back on the road.

Imported the car into Canada Friday night

There was a large car meet the next day (350 cars came out) so I decided to make an appearance.

After the show We dropped off the car to my garage where the major surgery will take place. It is 11X22ft sp it is small but once I get the motorcycle out for the season I feel space will be adequate.

Interior is pretty decent, but still needs alot of work. Will be tackling mechanical issues first.

Engine has not run since 2005 I was told by the PO. Parked due to an oil leak on the rear main seal. The transmission feels extremely stiff as well, dropping it will be the first major job.

Looks like it still has some oil in it haha. Have to figure out where this is coming from.

Frame shots. Looks to be in very good shape. The front had surface rust removed and por-15 applied by the PO

Now the mystery of a painted car. It was believed that this car was dealer painted, but it could not be confirmed. There was bondo on some areas indicating repairs. I bought the car knowing this risk and with the intent to remove the paint. So I started chipping away at cracking spots on the Rear quarter and Drivers door. The rear quarter looks to be garbage, will need to hunt one down.

So that's a brief overview of the car in my first couple days of ownership. Next weekend It will be up on stands getting the brakes removed to determine if they can be rebuilt, the transaxle removed, and taking a good look at the fuel system. Might start removing the exterior panels as well to be media blasted.
