1265's Restoration Progress

[Dracula]

Awhile back, I decided to purchase a second DeLorean to have rebuilt from the ground-up in a manner most suiting to my personal taste. That car was 1265. With no motor or transmission and midway through the process of being converted into a 5-speed car, I took ownership of her. Now she's going to be rebuilt as a cruiser AT car.

First are a few "Before" pictures:

And here are a few to show where she's currently at:

All the work on this car is being performed by Josh of DPI, with the exception of the few mystery projects that I'm toying around with.

sweet, i love restoration threads!

i was reminded about 1265 the other day when you had mentioned having both an auto & a manual D, and was wondering about the progress. good to see the frame is in decent shape!
looking forward to more updates.

Frame has been baked to remove the E coating and to expose trouble sections and blasted prior to the repairs being completed.
