The Restoration Of VIN: 4546 81 DMC

[81DMCTurbo]

Whats up guys! Im glad to be apart of the forum, and this is the restoration of my 81 DMC Turbo! The car has been in the family since 81, but was vandalized when I was in highschool back in 2006. Lit the car cover on fire, fire dept then shattered my fixed door glass, and cracked the windshield ️... She will be sent to DMC CA for all the glass to be installed and all weather strippings and all. Recently, I became more motivated after realizing I have something rare and beautiful in my garage. She has 9,xxx original miles on the clock, BAE turbo set up, fuel injected with steel braided fuel lines, little updated mods like the relays, the wiring, fuel pump, exhaust etc.

Upcoming mods:
4 rebuilt brake calipers
Steel braided brake lines
Eagle Premier Starter


Here are some photos from today: working on removing the brown stains

Cool, its amazing how these things are put away only to be rediscovered years or decades later.
You're very luck to get such a gift in your twenties.
When did it last run?

I used to start it alot just to keep the fluids flowing. Still has the original tires good year eagle aqua treads? Lol. Once i charge up the battery and swap the starter shell fire up again. She ran early in the year 2015.

DeLoreans originally came with Goodyear NCT's- Aquatreads were manufactured from the mid 1990s, IIRC.

Regardless, it will be great to have a BAE Turbo DeLorean back on the road. I look forward to seeing the progress on this one.

Very cool Delorean with its turbo engine, which looks like in a pretty good shape.
May I ask what is the VIN number, because you said VIN 4546 and it written VIN 4645 in your signature?

I saw that! It is 4645 OCT build date. I tried to correct the error by editing the post but cant fix the posting title

Hey guys, finally purchased the front and rear calipers with pads and crossed drilled slotted rotors from john @specialtauto.. Also bought the coolant expansion tank kit! More stuff to come anyways i came across this limited artwork done by kelly telfer, i was told this is an original #9/250 signed and dated 1983. The detail put into it is just gorgeous!
