![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.82[2/2] เมาท์มอยกับ 3 สาวเพื่อนซี้ ที่พร้อมขยี้พ่อหมีได้ทุกเมื่อ](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wwn7WnylNtQ/mqdefault.jpg)
As former owner of Vin 6406, it pains me to see this car in such a state. Headliner falling apart, doors not being supported properly. I can't believe that they cut through the trunk structure to install the fuel pump! Glad to hear that it is going to DMC Texas to get restored.
“My husband would want you to have it,” pays $500 for it-and dumps it in the woods. Respect.
Mission passed respect
New achievement unlocked..
So, real story????🤔
Arthur Talmage, the video speaks for itself
So really
From what I remember the DMC ran a basic mechanical fuel injection system - the fuel distribution pump is exactly like an ignition distributor with a rotating assembly that pushes fuel through the respective fuel tubes that go to each cylinder. Very common for those to have some big issues as far as functioning correctly.
Looks like a version of Bosch CIS. Probably jetronic, or CIS-E basic. There was many different versions... L, K- jet, etc. Fuel dizzy, high pressure injectors. The air flow metering plate is what he was pushing up on calling it a carb. Audi 5000's used one of the largest highest flowing version of the plate and also the biggest bore throttle body of the vw/ audi cars. They could be swapped to gain more oomph to a lot of cars. Tons of European cars use variants of the CIS setup. The majority of people that say they're problematic or hard to work on have little to no experience with CIS. Really not a whole lot to them. The airflow plate assembly usually has a mixture screw to adjust the cO with a 3mm allen wrench if I remember correctly, but you should really use a gas analyzer and just leave the screw alone. Like I said, CIS basic is pretty simple. I got my first dose of CIS on an mk1 vw rabbit, scirocco, audi 4000, etc Then CIS evolved to motronic and could produce more power due to a different sized butterfly, air flow plate, larger fuel distributor, and dpr. I had a fully built 9A 2.0l 16v Passat with the motronic setup. Car was fast as hell and revved to around 8,500 rpms. The air flow plate is really the only limiting factor vs a hot-film blow through MAF. You'll find CIS on everything from vw/audi/ porsche, to bmw, mercedes, etc. Its actually kind of funny to see someone that's never seen a CIS car to scratch they're head and say "what is that?" Lol If you were around in the 80's and turned wrenches on anything from Europe you most likely were working on a car that had CIS fuel injection. Robert Bosch actually has a great tuning and repair manual for CIS that can explain things easily for people to understand better.
Whenever a fuel cap looks like that, the gas is like molasses, or better yet varnish. You can scrape it with a putty knife. I've dealt with that unfortunate situation. Should have ran a fuel line straight to the 5 gallons of gas and bypass the tank
YUP!
He needs to fill the tank with alcohol and let it sit for a week then drain it.
you said it brother put a fork in it it's done sucking all that crap into the injectors WTH !
This is bosch k-jet your dealing with in this case. Just bypassing the fuel tank isn't going to matter because the fuel distributor and injectors are going to look exactly like the tank. And while the injectors can SOMETIMES be cleaned, the fuel distributor is normally a lost cause and requires replacement. Getting a delorean running that doesn't due to liquored gas is generally a several thousand dollar affair.
He’s an idiot for letting that shit go in
That engine bay looks good for a car that sitting in the open and she moves easily from her resting spot. *Press X to doubt*
I agree, some preparation was done.
And why would anyone who revives cars that have sat professionally rev on an eng ik ne that hasnt started in 5 years. Last car I revived after 9 I soaked each cylinder un trans fluid for a few days, dropped t ng e fuel tank and. Leaned it and so much other stuff before I even turned it over.
@@Gkitchens1Yup Don't know alot about engine prep but this car has been seated for 5 years yet starts on one crank with just starter fluid, has no evidence of rodents (at least some poop/bones) or dirt in the engine and has not sunken into the earth? Even I who is not a big car guy will ask questions. We've all seen abandoned cars but this one ain't it chief.
@@dabreadman6567 right there with ya. And my 300zx did fire on the first try on start fluid after 9 years, but I did a lot of work to get to that point. NO one in there rght mind would treat the engine like that in a car this valuable. They would have pulled the plugs and put fluid in the cylinders, and they would have had to pull it out of the holes it sank into, and there would damn sure be a lot more dirt stuck to the body, not just some pine needles laying on it. I'm not saying its completely fake, just that some stuff is being judged, and some is being left out.

So glad he didn't sell it. Would hate to see it stretched!
brilliant!
Best comment in here hands down hahahahaha
Typed like a true Smartass. I love it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha, good one.
Hate people that would rather a car sit and rot, then someone getting a chance to bring it back to a great working car.
There is a 3 year wait at the delorean factory to get your car restored, the guy seems to love the car, but knows about working on it, seems he let someone try their hand at it and failed, so i can understand why he left it. The only really bad thing besides the botched electrics is the water damage which should be an easy fix since its all wood anyways.
@@Gees86 Do your research before commenting dumb ass...de Loreans had a stainless body mounted to a STEEL chassis
@@Gees86 Small scratches in the stainless-steel body panels can be removed with a non-metallic scouring pad (since metal pads can leave iron particles embedded in the stainless steel, which can give the appearance of the stainless "rusting"), or even sandpaper.[31] The stainless-steel panels are fixed to a fiberglass underbody. The underbody is affixed to a steel double-Y frame chassis, inspired by the Lotus Esprit platform
@@fujiuser1968 lmao grow up go right to insulting him over his comment
James Ireland he was the 1 posting wrong information,if you don’t know don’t post it..it really is that simple
bypass that dirty gas tank. Don't run that into the engine
Yeah it's just going to destroy the rest of the fuel system
Do you expect anything else from Bruce?
Too late...
Look who's working on the car. That involves work. He's not gonna do that.
@@tacjam1 not at all.
He disregards international medical advice to social distance. Shakes the dudes hand. Touches his face.
Destroys a perfectly nice looking International by extending it.
He's a total fuckin' moron, IMHO.
All they had to do was smack their head on the steering wheel. Would've started right up
Yeah that would work i did that and my delorean sped up and when it hit 88 miles per hour i saw some serious shit
Maybe in the future they will learn that’s the best way
@Nico :D is your last name mcfly?
@Nico :D aww to bad my last name is brown
😂😂😂😂
"Doc? I left the car where I was told to. Doc? Doc?"
**marty realizes it’s not the place and he’s lost**
DAMN IT MARTY!
So strange, that there are people who would rather have the car
stand and disappear in the weeds than let it roll on the roads.
True, but one thing the dmc won't do is disappear. One perk of Stainless Steel.
Thought the same thing. Problem is there is only one place in the USA that has anything and everything you need to restore it. But EXPENSIVE. They even have NOS parts. I never been up and close to one. But I know there are about 2 around my neighborhood and they just sit also.
@@richp812003 It's not as expensive as you'd think. It is pricey certainly, but the basics are actually readily available. The engine is actually a Peugoet/Renault/Volvo engine of 242 gl vintage. The parts supply is endless in Europe, but still plentiful in the US (check volvo and some of the econo crap spewed out by Chrysler at the time). Bodywork is the biggest problem. It's bombproof so can take a lot of abuse, but is a frigger to repair. Nothing is really replacable except for rubbers so you'll need to know a good body shop.
Colum Peel it will rot
@@tonyanderson6493 Så sant.
I’ll never understand why anyone with a brain would let a car like this sit in the weeds, uncovered and neglected, for years at a time. Boggles the mind..... A big storm come thru and drop one of those trees on top of it and you got an expensive pile of stainless steel. If you aren’t going to do anything with it except let it sit and rot, just flip it and make some cash and move on.... Stupid!
I had a brother inlaw that had a 1969 Yenko Camero that sat out side since the day he bought for the last 10 years it never moved from it's last parking spot so I know what it's like to see a classic rot to dust
I totally agree ! The guy comments that the car is "great" , yet leaves this "great" car axle-deep in grass ? Put a battery on it ; check the fluids and see if it turns-over
you do realize not having money is a thing, right?
@@rexjolles Then sell it, get money and let someone else look after it.
My brother in law had the money to restore the car but never wanted to because as he got older it was too much of a hassle to spend money
About the only unpainted car that would be rust free after 40 years.
It's a stainless steel body
th-cam.com/video/4X4rXg0BHL8/w-d-xo.html like and subscribe
I bet the underbody is cover in rust
@@jimstratfordfl not really. Mild steel frame, VARI body ( variable assisted resin injection) which is the tub overload with thin 304 stainless. They werent as heavy as people claim. 304 stainless does not rust but the chassis can and will esp when stored like this. Own one of these cars, shame to see someone in the video just let it rot, but its a car it happens
Stainless steel has that one advantage.
Guy doesn't want to sell it, leaves it to rot in the backyard.......
Oh course. Cause hes gonna restore it someday like all the other people like him say
Andy Wright yeah, maybe
Andy Wright with that attitude you won’t get anywhere
@@fenixfurona9577 u must one of them kind too. Naw I just finished my Z28 so I got that far
He keeps repeating "but lady, its a DeLorean!" so he knows its worth a lot... and then doesnt even throw a tarp over top of it?
“When this baby hits 88 mph your Guna see some serious shit!!!”
cant even go that fast
djay4487 deved it’s just a punch line off the movie 🤦♂️
@@djaydeved It's a Back To The Future reference
Not sure about that, but if it does reach that speed, I think some serious shit is gonna happen...
Speedo only goes to 85mph...lol
You can get a DeLorean from the company who bought it. they still have all the parts and stuff to build one!!! Just look it up
Not the company that originally built em, a company in Houston bought all the left over a parts and instructions on how to make parts , in Houston, Tx had it for a bit now a guy in Florida
They have a few dealerships around. If memory serves there is one in Orlando.
Tony Anderson
DMC Texas bought all of the parts from Consolidated (company that liquidated original DMC ) and has built up a small network of connected shops with one being in Orlando, I was just there before Covid struck picking up a car. There’s one in Cali and then some smaller well known shops in the community across the country that work on these cars primarily.
That's a really cool car. Thanks Kevin for let us you tubers a look at. Good luck with restoration. Thanks Bruce for doing a first start. Thanks for sharing.
Don't walk away from that car, RUN AWAY. I worked for DMC in the early 80s that car was a pile of crap when it was new. That engine is a Renault/Volvo mix that was a nightmare. Never ran well.
5 years sitting there lol The grass is very green under it 😂😂😂
"Damn, I wish I should find the rusty DeLorean so I can go back to the future!"
-Doc Emmet Brown
12:24 That's not a carburetor. That's a Bosch K/KE jetronic fuel injection system If I'm correct, and that thing you pushed down is a fuel metering plate (measures how much fuel it needs to inject into each cylinder), if you touch that whilst the car is running that will stop the engine running. Mercedes-Benz's of the 1980's had this same system on their cars. It's a reliable system if not tampered with and very hard to set up correctly if you do change anything, it's a mechanical fuel injection system
.
ya Bruce is a know it all that knows nothing. Always spouting off about how much he really knows..like the carburetor than says its injected,,also calls it a Delorean motor car..its company..he just needs to talk less and wont sound so stupid
@@n2vxc he said multiple time that he knows nothing about the car
@@n2vxc ok Karen
Yup, kjet, bugger to get working right, but ok when they do, they realy need a good pump and a clean filter though to get the pressure constant
correct, it's an inlet air flow meter, was used in a wide range of old fuel injection systems in 80's and even early 90's. it basically measures the inlet air flow to adjust the correct air/fuel ratio by the ECU. i saw it in Japaneses engines too. more reliable than alternatives like hot wire.
Probably when the engine cover is closed, it engages the starter button so the key works. The buzzing is probably the notification the engine cover isn't closed properly.
there is no interlock or buzzer for the engine bay on a delorean. Theres a door ajar buzzer sure, which can be unplugged at the footwell. pretty easy to get to
Lol I just said as much. Guess I should of read through the comments 1st
seeing the gas cap as it is , i would have just hooked up the jerrycan to the gas line until you could get it cleaned up
Absolutely, this guy wouldn't know to do that. He buys old diesels usually and runs them with the old fuel. He doesn't know enough to run a jerry can of M fresh fuel. The whole fuel system is dirty now.
@@frankrizzo5057 agreed but to be fair, diesel won't ever go bad in 40 years (barring water getting in)
That's what anyone that knows about cars would do. When I saw that gas cap, I honestly thought, "Well, they won't even try to start this thing without an alternate fuel source." Yep, I was wrong. lol
Vice grip garage would have that car running in 10 minutes
And then drove it home.
livndream after he tested on it a little lol
Agree
Fella agrees.
bring the thunder!
"Thats the carb.... " " and its fuel injected".... " look at that horsepower . PMSL...... so funny :)
needs to drop a hemi in it
It uses the Bosch K Jetronic that can be a bit a pain in the ass, but if the diaphragm is not dried out is a great system.
Just because it's fuel injection doesn't mean it doesn't have a carb dude there's all kinds of diffrence fuel injection systems so technically it isn't wrong
It was the go to fuel injection for a lot of European cars from the 1980s.
Renault v6 with Bosch k jetronic, same engine as in some of the Volvo 760s
some bloke in america bought all the parts etc when the factory closed in ireland.
you can get any parts plus he has loads of complete cars for sale!
danny blain and rumor has it, they’re coming back with an updated version
danny blain it’s in Houston Texas lol
I looked at having one made about 10 years ago. They were only 22k complete. I should have bought one.
The guys on "Car Fix" talked to the guy that own DMC. There is a law that prevent the manufacture of new Deloreans. But he does have all the parts to build new cars.
@@matthewreed1078 Actually Humble Texas....and they are NOT "The factory"...they just happened to have bought SECOND HAND...from the Original Buyer...(all the remains of the original factory)which was Consolidated International...who bought out the remains of the Factory....and Actually Finished building the last of the deloreans...and even 24K Gold plated the very Last delorean...with the "spare" 24K delorean panels...BTW Consolidated International...also bought out the remains of the Bricklin Factory...when they also went belly up...
How could you get a car like that for almost free while it's that valueable and then let it rot away in the bushes
when you dont work to pay for something you car less about it
@Hamilton Rodgers a restored one goes for over 20k at least if I'm not mistaken and they're highly wanted by collectors. If I got that thing for a couple hundred bucks I'd at least make sure I don't submarine the value by letting it rot away in a bush
Looks like the flux capacitor is broke
Wow she's living it up and that trailer with that dude all right way to go girl ! Lmao !
Being one of the earliest model, this would've been in the batch of "dogs" that were rushed into production and had all sorts of quality control issues. Luckily though he is getting it restored and hopefully it will be done right this time.
BTW. There is no way in hell it's going to start with that fuel system corroded like that. That fuel tank, pump, fuel lines are all toast. You'd have to rig up an external fuel source and plumb it straight into that throttle body pump.
The best part of this whole video was at 9:50 them jean shorts 😳
I noticed that too lol . Hahaha .
So did I that beautiful butterfly tattoo!!! 🙄🤣😂
Seems like some of us were paying more attention to her than we did of what Bruce was doing 😁
I love me a sexy dark hair chick ....hell he could make the channel about just her and them shorts and a wife beater and he will forever have a sub here 🧐
You realize it's different when girls wear those, right? They're more Daisy Dukes and they're hot and always have been.
The engine and transmission are Renault, the engine model is PRV as it was shared with Peugeot Renault and Volvo, built at the Douvrin plant in France. 2.7 litre, it was pretty gutless.
need boost with that low ass compression ratio... pretty sure there were a few turbo peugeots and renaults that blew up pretty quick XD
Ok,
Boomer
John Delorean had plans for a GM engine for it, but they pulled an "AMC deal" with him at the last minute and backed out shortly before production, so DMC was left scrambling to find a supplier close to Ireland. They settled on the PRV V6.
Typical GM move. "Sure we'll supply you with engines!... wait, sorry, we can't."
@@cohenstukey1413 ok.
Zoomer
My dad worked on Peugeot's and some DMC's back in the day when they were new. To this day all he says about them is, pieces of shit lol.
I think bruce wanted it to run so he could travel back and fix all of his cab over mistakes.
Badly staged. The grass under the car is green. This car "rusted" there for let's be generous... 2 hours?
lol this guy gets it.
If I leave something on my lawn for a week everything underneath is dead and brown.
You caught that to I see.
I bought my truck after it sat for 2.5 years and the grass was green and lush underneath. As long as you have good soil and water, ambient light is usually enough for plant growth
@@lindstromhomestead It didn't sit there. It was moved there before you bought it. I've been doing landscaping for quite a number of years now and as I said in my own comment on this if I could get grass to grow green in deep shade I'd make a fortune.
Indirect light only goes so far and even the best fescue blend still needs 4 hours of direct light.
Michael J. Fox had the same starting problem in the movie with his DeLorean and all he had to do was scream bang is head on the steering wheel and the car started right up 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ 🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully he actually gets it restored and doesn't just let it sit and rot further
That's. Criminal to leave any car like that
He will... because he thinks the car is worth 45k and some millionaire will throw money at him. You can buy way better ones for 25k...so the joke about 4500 bucks is actually not a joke, it's reality.
Dont you dare motor swap that rare car to an ls or boxer lmao
T C look at his place moron, grow a brain
Tony Anderson what does his place have to do with anything?? What yo place looks like ?
It’s a damn shame that he paid all of 500 bucks and he won’t take 5k for it. He’s put nothing into it and it’s rotting away. There is zero chance that he puts that car back on the road.
once he sees the estimate to restore it he should have taken $4k for it
You're just saying that because he's black!!😂
@@Microjoey02 ha ha - Id probably dump it after getting the estimate! I watched the hoovies garage with a cheap delorean and they can require pricy repairs- mixing renault peuget parts isnt a recipe for parts availability
One hoarder just sold it to the next
Looking at around 15-20k to bring it back to decent status.
Cut it in half and stretch it after you buy a steering wheel cover and a head unit. Then run it on starting fluid and rev the ball bag out of it before you get any oil to the top end... . . .
Hello, I usually see a lot of vehicle restoration videos, come to admire your channel, your work should be on TV, a big hug from Brazil for everyone. This episode was very cool, because this car as we all know, marked a generation.
This guy doesnt deserve this car, its sitting outside since hes got it. that thing needs to be garaged and cherished.
Except for the lush plant growth Under the car and some random tangles of dried out vegetation draped on it. Where ever it was, it wasn't sitting in that spot until very (the day of this shoot) recent.
@@Cragified yes it came out of there way to easy.. if it were sitting 5 years it would of taken 10 guys to roll it out of its own ruts
Proof, that with enough starting fluid it will make a noise of some kind.🤔
if you want to start it, you have to learn how the bosch k-jetronic injection system works
You are correct! Finally someone that speaks Bosch fuel injection!👍💪🤙✌
Me and my mate habe set up amd dynoed a few now, there great setup right
That's pretty cool just to see a freaking Delorean sitting there. Those cars have a story worthy of a Grand theft auto mission.
This is just sad. Owner is a tool, guy “working on it” isn’t too bright either. Sad sad day for that DMC
Relax. It's just a f-ing car in the end.
@@laurensa.1803 Its not exactly a Nissan or a Renault !
The owner rescued it and is taking it to get restored. He's doing what he can and is willing to put money into it.
This Channel is ran by a tool
@@malcolmhardwick4258 It might have some extrinsic value and be rare, but its still an old car.
Rust : Imma gonna show you how its done!
Delorean : Please...
Good Lord. “This thing’s fuel injected. And it’s got a carb.” That owner needs to call someone who isn’t going to screw this car completely up. I know Bruce contacted him and he is basically uninterested in saving the car, but damn. What a waste.
That thing what they call carbruettor is just air flow meter of the injection system. It has mechanical bosch k-jetronic fuel injection, quite common in european cars.
"A/c compressor is locked up" as he tries to spin the clutch and the pulley is spinning freely. I had to stop. Cool car though.
I don't see it as a waste at all. I see a PROJECT!!! ...needs some interior work, and the usual mechanical things...but the body looks good, no major dings, glass is good...it's a complete survivor car. That is anything but a waste - it's completely salvageable. Good on the owner for planning on taking to the new DeLorean co - they'll have all the right parts to set it up proper. Sweet!
@@andrewc6602 the clutch is what's connected to the pump, not the pully....
that was my point, it's not going to spin freely, he didn't know what he was talking about.
So, when you moved the car away, there was grass below. Hmmm...
What gave it away for me was when I noticed that the grass that had been "under the car for 5 years" was still green lol
"Amazing how that Delorean's been sitting there for the last 22 years...." - Emmet Brown
ALWAYS ALWAYS wipe the dipstick off & recheck the oil level a 2nd time for an accurate reading
When the car rotting in your backyard is worth more than your house. 🤦♂️
That car probably does not worth more than 3Kin that condition.

You will be surprised how many people have good and classic cars rotting around and the house is falling apart, but won’t sell them...
Paulo G at least 10 grand just like that.
Good priorities 👌
Oh, so THAT'S where I put my time machine.
There's been a lot more history to this car than the guy says. Re-wiring already been done, possible new fuel injector etc. This car has had people working on it over the years....
the Back to the future saga is one my favorite movie franchises ever
"it's got all kinds of, like, o2 sensor injectors" lololololololol
What a coincidence. I just got done watching Back to the Future on Netflix. Like 5 minutes ago!
Same
Bad judgement call on the old lady who owned it, her dead husband definitely wouldn't have wanted that guy to have it and turn it into junk in the woods.
And for $500.
Aaaaand destroys piston rings with a whole can of starter fluid.
A broken ring is possible during a cylinder dry run. That could change the rebuild process, negatively.
@@troymattingly3071 starterfluid is bad, realy bad. It destroys rings, big and small ends and pistons themselfs. A small squirt is ok, if it doesnt run than there is a problem that needs to be checked.
And as you mention, an engine not running that long is basicly dry. No oil on camshaft, valves and even barrels. So yes, the weare on that engine went from normal to plus 50.000 miles in one start.
@@mightress You make good points.Lets just be glad it wasn't a favorite old muscle car...
@@troymattingly3071 i love DeLorean's just as much as old muscle cars. I hate it in general when dumb asses destroy old cars. As for a DeLorean engine. Check out the renault alpine v6, same engine, goes like hell. Some Volvo's run it, makrs the heavy bricks go like hell. DeLorean has such low HP because of GM fucking him over by having the DeLorean rediculous emission restrictions.
Take stock volvo cams and a renault alpine ECU al not expensive. Free the exhaust of the delorean and it will be a shitload faster. These euro V6 can handle 400hp on stock crank.
Starter fluid is a better choice for first start after years of sitting rather than straight whiskey that can blow the injection manifold out from under the car.
Someone somewhere is watching this and screaming THATS MY G_D CAR !!"!!!.
For information this engine is call PRV its collaboration, it was created by 3 automaker, 2 french and 1 swedish (Peugeot, Renault, Volvo), it's a 130 hp V6 2.85 L , These PRVs were a development of the 2.7-litre V6 in the Renault 30. Excellent powerful for my country but too little for the united states.
If you hit your head on the steering wheel it’ll start right up! Didn’t you know this? 😂
I don't get how you know you have a collectors item, you know exactly what its worth & you park it in some bushes & let it rot but still want top dollar for it 😑
This is just hard to watch.
The owner is never going to do anything with it but let it rot and he let a hack spray 2 cans of starting fluid down it to try and make it run. Might as well just crush it and get it over with.
Drivers side fender is worth BIG BUCKS...as there are very few to spare....!!!!
He said he's sending it to DMC for restoration. And people that think like you are why rare old cars get scrapped. Even sitting it's still here and can be used for parts or maybe someone else will buy it and restore it. Why crush it and guarantee it is ruined?
@@monroe7403 I must have missed the part where he said he was sending it to DMC. Maybe I was too mesmerized by the fact that he has a classic car rotting in the weeds that's worth more than his house.
I don't think rare old cars should get scrapped at all. I also don't think its right that people that can't afford to do anything with them will let them sit in a field for 30yrs and refuse to sell it to someone that can afford to restore them.
"I'm going to do something with it one day". Yeah, ok, after he wins the lottery??
That's how rare cars become unrestorable and end up as scrap.
@@claudelandi510 Actually... DMC (the company the owner mentioned) has litteral warehouses full of factory parts and builds "new" DeLoreans as well as sells spare parts, has upgrades for that shitty stock motor and even will buy, fix and re-sell old ones.
They have a few places, one is in Florida, another in Texas (This is the HQ), one in Illinois and the last is in California
@@AndreenMotorsports Dude his daily drive there costs about as much as a restored DeLorean which is worth more than his trailer. (A fully restored "like new" one is around 45,000 right now)
I've got a love/hate relationship with the Delorean cars. I worked at Sears in the Automotive Dept at the time. A guy brings in the car for a battery and general inspection. No biggie. I drove it into the bay popped the rear deck, no battery. I knew it was a rear engine car so started there. So went to the front and opened the hood. NO battery! Oooookkkkk!? Went back to the rear, found the starter and started tracing the battery lead. Went into the right frame rail to the front, but nothing's in the front. WTF. By this time I've spent 30 minutes admiring the car, looking for the battery, did I say admiring the car, and still looking for the battery. Did I say I was admiring the car...lol. Well I ate crow and went to the owner, told him I hsdn't FOUND the battery and could he tell me where it was.
I think I would have had the car near complete disassembly before I'd have found it on my own. Its behind a false wall covered in carpet behind the passenger seat. Mighty easy to get to IF you know where to look...lol.
I STILL love the car, but boy do I HATE working on them...lol
The injection system is a Bosch Jetronic . The metering is done by the draught from the air intake . It was the only system used in Europe until the electronic one came available.
I think its K Jetronic
When I worked at the parts store we could look up parts for that easy and at O'Reillys you can even get a flux capacitor for it lol
Used to be part number EB1....haven’t looked in a few years
Yes sir thats the one
u need 1.21 gigawatts tho
When this baby hits 88 mile per hour, you’re going see some serious shit..
Stitchmeupdoctor lol
That’s the real trick. These cars were so under powered that you’d be lucky to hit that speed going down hill.
@@chrisbolton4900 I'm pretty sure for the movie they had to put a different engine and gearbox in it to go 88 mph...
Snowman and Bandit no, all they had to do was run the digital display up to the number 88, that prop car probably never made it past 40 while they were filming.
What you guys gotta understand is that from the early 70s to the late 80s the max legal speed everywhere in the country was 55 mph. So, even if the engine had the horsepower, the transaxle wouldn’t have been geared for very fast speeds.
Really was considering subscribing until I noticed that all the leaves and gunk on the car was doctored so it looks better for you to record it. Why not just be real and honest?!
Just because the grass is green doesnt mean its fake this comment is so dumb

This taking place somewhere in Florida, there was a episode of the show hoarders on that showed a woman in Florida and the story this owner tells in video, sounds familiar to what the woman said. As the hoarders team cleaned the house and the yard, this car was shown. Glad the new owner wants to restore it, but whomever the mechanic was he took it to, that so called mechanic cut a hole in the floor of the storage compartment to change fuel pump. I bet when he cut the floor, he cut a few wires. Good luck to them to get as far as they did trying to start it.
There is an ls swapped DeLorean already. And its either carbureted or fuel injected, not both. Some fuel injection setups look like carb setups but are still fuel injection. For example, the old chevys that went to throttle body injection (TBI) look similar to a carburetor setup but they're very different
a company still makes them, they bought the name they have all the parts
bobby o I love the way the car looks an the cool stuff for the time but I’d put an 4 banger in there or a crazy ls
They also make upgraded parts too
I'm Surprised Bruce Doesn't know Cuz He Knows everything Just listen to Him
I saw a video on this company, they have enough to make around a 1000 complete cars and enough parts (original and remanufactured) to keep the deloreans on the road for the next 20 years, they did improvements to make the cars more reliable too, as the V6 PRV wasn't a good powerplant as is.

If a vehicle been sitting for a while and the oil “looks good” it still won’t be as good. All the sediments and sludge after years go to the bottom of the oil pan. The dipstick doesn’t touch bottom, so when you crank it over now you’re entire engine will be full of gunk.
Keep in mind if u are just going to put money in the car (oil, gas, filters) and put it back where it was resting then might as well not put money on it
I guess you've never heard of an oil filter? Plus every pickup tube I've seen has a screen in it to prevent large material from entering it. Dirt and smaller items will get trapped in the oil filter before it circulates throughout an engine.
SkylineBNR34 yes I know that but.. I wouldn’t want slime going threw any engine of mine
it makes me mad to see delorean just sitting in woods and "waiting" to be restored... its going to rot so bad it cant be fixed
That unit you were pointing to looks like the idle control motor, CIS injections have those to regulate idle speed.
Netflix: "are you still watching"
someone's daughter : 10:32
The irony of this is days prior I watched all three of the movies on Netflix, and then you release a video of a DeLorean 😂
If you notice in the movie it always broke down...and it could barely beat a Volkswagen bus....sadly...it is for real....
Such a beautiful car I'm so glad he's letting you guys get it started again.
“Im gonna drag her up to your shed upfront and cover it up so noone messes with it” *as he puts this video on the internet to 100s of thousands of people*

Doesn't look like its been sitting there for five years more like five days 😂😂😂
PRV V6 motor was supposed to be built as a V8 but was later shortened to only 6 because of the oil crisis. It keeps the V8 configuration with a 90 degree cam angle instead of the normal 60 degrees that V6's were based around the time. Almost a million of those engines were produced for several different cars, and you can still find some spare parts for it here in Sweden.
Does he really know what he is doing? Who will put gas in such a dirty tank and start the car? Engine is screwed! jeezzz!
And fuck up all the wiring for someone to fix
I don’t think he does
He’s just going to let it rot. 5K would buy him beer for a couple of years. 🙃🤭
You actually know he's going to let it rot, do you know him or something.
Just saying cause that's just a waste.
You don’t leave that in a field
Been sitting for five years already.....
The million dollar question is where are you gonna find one of these? I saw one, I swear to god, trapped by a Prius and a Saab, in a god damn Sunoco parking lot/area, in Ellicott City
Doc Brown.
In this video @3:19 Doc on the left, Brown on the right. 😂
There's one that's been sitting in a yard in my city for at least 25 years. It's been rotting away there since I was a kid and still looks fresh.
*sigh* Why are these guys touching that car if they clearly haven’t got a clue?
They're mechanics because they watched it on TH-cam😂
Next episode, stretching the delorian to 155" wheelbase and adding a 5th wheel.

What a Damn Shame He's Never going to Do anything with it That Car Will Just Sit and Rot away DAMN Shame
Kenny Spry Exactly that’s exactly what he’s gonna do
technically wont really rot that much, the whole car almost is made of stainless steel, which doesnt rust.
@@deathtrapgarage506 WRONG...those SS Panels are only Cosmetic...the real car is under those panels...it is a Fiberglass two piece shell...made lengthwise...filled with basically expanding foam in the cavities of the passenger compartment to give it Rigidity...and it has a full frame...with a tunnel frame running through the center of the car...no side frame...your life depends on the strength of those Stainless Steel doors...and the Rigid foam filled fiberglass cage/roll bar...if you would get T-boned...the Only real metal is in the roof to support the doors weight when opened..
Ran a trim shop in Norcross Ga back in '85 and tinted the windows and polished up the body panels on a '82 model . It was already a POS by then . You just need to put a "Coke Is It " bumper sticker on that thing and it rot ,lol
The motor is French from a Peugeot 5 series and also used in the Volvo 7 series. It's probably either a 2.7cc / 2.8cc motor using a k.e jetronic fuel injection system.
Yep, the standard PRV engine Peugeot/Renault/Volvo
omg, he got a deal on a pristine Delorean and ruined it
are you some sort of fucktard that never watched the start where he says the original owner drove it once and then left it outside until he bought it and then its booked in for resto at the new factory!
@@73Datsun180B
It has 62k miles on it so it was driven way more than once.
@@73Datsun180B No, I'm the sort of fucktard that knows you don't park a nice car under trees for 5 -6 years and let it rot turning a $5K cleanup into a $20K+ restoration. That thing is full of water which does wonders for all that mild steel underneath the stainless. He's got a hoarder's yard. He's got no money for simple repairs and holds the doors open with makeshift prop rods. He is not restoring that thing.
@@adamn7516 Maybe,just maybe it wasn't brand new when the guy bought it for his wife...people do buy used cars you know...
@@fujiuser1968
The guy said that the woman he bought it from said they were the original owners.
“Amber” dammmmm! 👀
So the lady didn’t want it but kept it wrapped up and this guy gets it and leaves it out in the woods....fake video the grass under where the car was setting was green and you could tell the leaves and weeds had just been thrown on.
I was saying that too the car is not even dirty

As Scottie would say a "ENDLESS MONEY PIT".
The car in general looks to be in REALLY good shape Kevin should just put it on Ebay with a reserve and see what he can get for it.
LMAO yeah it’s not a Celica

Whoever left this there to rot, was tricked because DeLoreans don't rust away haha
