Ya Jimmy!!

I'm glad you were able to find a car that met your criteria.
Looking forward to a get-together up your way....we'll get Jonathan to meet us on the US side!

Andrew,

Its a project, but that's what I wanted. I like the thrill of the find and the build. I built both my classic truck and my wife's classic mini. This car has been sitting for 20 years in a barn. Last time it was on the road was 96. The owner passed away and his widow is selling it to me. The good news is that it is all there and in pretty darn good shape. All the struts are blown of course which was annoying when looking at the car, so I called Rob Grady and have a full kit on the way. The first order of business is the tackle the fuel system, fuses, tune up etc, and see if i can get the engine to fire. Its going to be a long restoration journey but I have been waiting since I was a kid for this car, so I will enjoy the ride.

Congrats Jimmy in your purchase. I too bought a very complete car needing a thorough restoration. Mine was after a 15 year nap. I'm 3 years in on the journey and it's been very satisfying. I tried to document the highlights in my photo albums if they are any help, but mainly, this forum and the vendors are most helpful.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Got any history? From reading the old Delorean World mags, it seems that those who cared to put turbos on their cars did so because they were especially enthusiastic about them.
