5992 Trip to Greece, Restoration and Speculations

[DGI]

I am proud to say
MY DELOREAN WILL MAKE GREEK HEADINES

Next week the Greek issue publishers of "car&driver" mag will do a shoot for their next edition.

It was seen at a A/C service centre while getting my system filled.

They were amazed of the condition and asked for my contact details.

I don't suppose anyone wants a copy of that issue eh? Hahaha

I'll take a copy for sure!!!

Excellent progress brother, its been a while since we've communicated. I'll have to catch up on your thread. Keep up the great work!

Thank you kind sir

Finally got the courtesy LEDs working.

Alex, I've followed the progress on your car ever since you opened
the container. I'm amazed and I have one question ... do you have a Job?

[JohnZ]

Second question: is it time to seriously think about your add-on replica project??

As a matter of fact the creek crisis brought my business to a halt 8 months ago
I am now back to square one trying to get the food back on the table...

Second question: is it time to seriously think about your add-on replica project??

Amico, I am already preparing my second project...

An EV Delorean that will have remote control drive ability and... Yes maybe a Bttf conversion.., too crazy?
Nah..,, I have resurrected 5992 from the grave haven't i?

Onwards picking up tiny left over jobs

Another problematic DMCH part. The inner door seals.

Even with constant silicone lubbing, realigning and care, they just tore after about 40 opening and closing the doors, they tore up on both sides at the exact same place. On the upper front corners. Those are too damn big if you ask me and the pressure on the doors closing were always too tight.
So I got a set for half as much one size smaller.

Fits perfectly, seals just great and let's the door close smoothly.

I finally my A/C is done with 134a cooling fluid.

Works perfectly and will give me a cool head in the summer.

Last job, I got rid of the upper engine louvre seals and replaced them with a rather softer seal.

Grips nicely on the provided rear fender lips and let's the louvre sit softly when closed.

First I cleaned the lips

Then cut out the damper bases

And clipped on


This is what the resting of the louvre looks like

[Farrar]

Good work on the seals! Nicely done as always, Alex!

[Trstno1]

Alex, where did you get the new smaller seals? What size are the old ones vs. the new ones?

Thanks!
