Here's a picture of the wrecked DeLorean being parted out for my 4x4 BttF project:

interesting thread

It'll be neat to see it finished

Keep us updated!

Took the jigsaw and cut-out more fiberglass so the radiator and fan shroud could fit then drilled a few more holes and prefit the brake booster... ain't it gonna be purdy?

Im asking this because I dont know, But wouldnt it have been easier to retro fit the frame for a rear motor?

Progress!!! Keep the pics coming.

Yeah, probably so... but where would the fun in that be?

Thanks, got a lot done engine wise. Unbolted the 4x4 frame from the bodytub and rolled it out. Removed all components from the engine. Tossed them aside for later use. Unbolted the engine from the tranny and attached a chain to lift it. Attached the "Redneck Do-All"'s winch.

Removed the engine. Started tearing down the engine (those chunks of plastic and metal ain't a good sign). It had something to do with the timing chain. Ouch... one an three have seen better days. The piston is shot... err, busted and warped.

Nasty!!
