In this video, I finish my abandoned DeLorean after sitting for 32 years! After so many issues and breakdowns we go for our first drive and first time travel! Enjoy and thanks so much for watching the DeLorean series so far. This car means a lot to me but even more after seeing the support from all of you. I was nervous the car wouldn't do well on UA-cam but I've wanted one since I was a kid and just had to do it. Thanks for being excited with me and for coming along for the journey.

I was just going to say, "you should LS swap the DeLorean!"
Let's give it up for Max who did an awesome job editing, not just this video but the entire series!
You beat me to it.
Good job editing.
Some of it was so cheesy and so damn good. Brilliant job.
Let’s not big him up too much tho. Don’t want Max to mysteriously disappear for getting too much praise on someone else’s channel 👀😆
Amazing work no matter what happened… IMO rear is a bit too low. Enjoy this car, one of the nicest out there.
Awesome work Max!
As usual! 😊
A car restoration video has NO business being this wholesome!!! The whole time, I had a smile on my face. Alex, keep it up! This content is what the car community needs!
That's right! Car restoration videos should always have liquor, and swearing, and women of questionable morals parading about in *gasp* bikinis!!!
( just joking with you...I also appreciate his family focused manner)
@@deetroitdario
Last thing i wanna see is Alex out working on his car in a Bikini.
Adding the bloopers at the end of this was really instructive!! I think people just do not understand how much extra work goes into the editing and prep for these videos!! Great job Alex!!
I just binge watched all of your videos, I'm not super big into cars or anything but over the years I've watched a ton of videos on DeLorean restoration, and I've got to say from my perspective this is by far the most detailed, well edited, all inclusive collection of restoration videos on this car. The amount of work that you guys put into camera angles and making sure you touch on every random completely superfluous hick-up and quirk with this it is just super commendable. The choice to do all of this over the course of a couple months really did pay off both from a video presentation standpoint and the actual restoration itself, every part of this seemed to be made to be as informative as possible. Totally going to subscribe after this, it was just that impressive.
Thanks so much!
141.622 kilometers per hour. This was definitely one of the coolest builds you’ve done. Really enjoyed it.
But they simply used 140 in the movies. ^^
@@Lykaon01 No we don`t. If we are speaking about BITTF
That is pretty damn fast. Where I live anything over 100km/h would be considered speeding, though some people still risk driving at 120km/h on highways.
@@hycron1234 In German ppl actually get angry at you if you "only" go 140 on the autobahn 😅
@@hycron1234 Yep. I got an $80 fine for 110 km/h, in a deserted 100 km/h area. My cobber got a $30 fine for 51 km/h, in a 50 km/h school area. nz.
I can’t believe how emotionally tied I became to the completion of this project. You’re a great dad for doing this for your kids & the kids in the neighborhood.
Personally I wouldn’t go Time Machine with it. There’s plenty of those out there. Also lots of electric conversions. I’d try to find a way to shoehorn a more powerful engine in there and turn it into the sports car it was always meant to be.
Wrx swap would be sweet and wouldn't be any less reliable but a whole lot more fun to drive
My thoughts exactly! LS swap that beast! They make LS conversion kits for Porsche so I'm sure they make one for the time machine😂
I wouldn't modify it. It would seriously decrease the value. DeLoreans are collector cars. If you want a sports car to drive, get something more common and less valuable. And please ENOUGH with the time machine thing.
@@geraldscott4302eh this kinda sounds like a a forever car for him. What’s the point in value when you don’t plan to sell. In cars you want to keep forever fun always trumps value.
Just change it how you like but have a “purity” box for all the original bits.
Alex - 2.4k comments, you’ll probably never see this! But if you do… (as a 15 year owner myself), some quick wins - get that catalyst out and replace it with a decat pipe. Or alternatively whack a full stainless exhaust on. Consider running open loop and sacking off all the lambda shit. UK cars in this spec reliably put out 145bhp on dynos here. 15bhp extra isn’t much but you feel it!
Until you get the aircon working lose the compressor, saves a tonne of weight and the extra work of the engine to spin it.
Sure it’s been said already but you adjusted the springs the wrong way and increased ride height :)
You’ve made some great choices already - LCA / extra supports, wilwood brakes etc. Thought I’d try and throw in some helpful suggestions :) Your car is looking fantastic. Incredible video series - have watched it all. Congrats 🎉
Don’t turn it into a movie car. Upgrade the engine and fix the body. Pass it down to ur kids. 👍🏾
Alex this was absolutely wonderful. The entire Delorean series has been just stellar. This final episode though was epic. We enjoyed every second. We want to tell you just how much we appreciate your dedication to your craft. Where so many others say good, you say not good enough. You just don’t settle. We love that about you and your content. We love how you always seem to find a way. And being a man that puts faith and family first, I appreciate the sacrifices you make to get out top quality content even if at times you lose time with your family. That and your work ethic has earned my deepest respect. Look forward for what’s next.
Thanks so much Peter! I appreciate the kind words and for always watching. See you in the next video!
@@LegitStreetCars
Frame restoration with a LS3 swap and G96/01 (02-05) Porsche 996 manual Transaxle. Keep the manual steering rack. Would be a lot of great content for the channel.
@@LegitStreetCarsspeaking of Peter where is he at ? Does he still work on projects with you ?
You're definitely not the average UA-cam fixing cars channel 😂. I love the go back in time to warn yourself about the parking brake 😂. Keep up the great work, brother. I support you every Saturday and on those rare occasions when you release a video on a different day.
Happy for you that you got this done in time. You can tell when a creator is truly moved by their project, and this definitely shows for you with the Delorean. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey with one of your dream cars.
watching your smile when you got your delorean window down on the highway? beautiful. thanks for this Alex! ❤❤❤
The amount of work you show in your restorations is unparalleled. Such a great restoration. I love old cars especially iconic ones.
Some of the best content on you!
I love seeing you and your wife smile together. It just makes me happy.
What a great finish to the whole series!
Heck yeah! This has been one of my favorite series’ of yours, and not even because i’m really a DeLorean fan or anything like that… seeing how much of a labor of love this has been for you, even compared to some of your other long-term projects, has just made this a blast to watch start to finish. Enjoy this thing, man!
Now, lets see more CL headaches 😅
❤ Loved the build series & the humour 😉 And 100% you know it, but must say: you have an amazing partner since she puts up with these projects and even seems excited :)
So good to see the DeLorean up and running
Thanks brother!
yeah, this is almost a@@LegitStreetCars highlight video. 😄
@@LegitStreetCars Amazing project, glad you made it ! Greetings from Ukraine !
Nonsense
I am so glad you saw this through to the end and took us with you all the way. Your content this year has been the best so far, the space van and DeLorean projects have been so interesting. I also really appreciate giving the entire video a story like it's from BTTF, such a cool idea :).
Thank you so much!
@@LegitStreetCarsI need your help with a Mercedes I can’t get the arm that holds the rear suspension air bags back into the slot behind the rotor I’m not a mechanic but I’m doing a conversion from air to spring I’ve spent hours trying to get it back into the receptacle and it just won’t go please Alex I need something to give🫤
Nice job Alex. I really admire your passion and dedication to these classics! Keep it up brother.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!!! Thank you Sir and Congratulations!!!
What do you guys want to see next with the DeLorean?
LS IT!
Going back to the future in it 👍👍🤣🤣
Cannonball
Ecoboost swap would be cool
Maybe you can like go to a car show with it and have a live
I love this guy"s energy - i just had a shitty day and just by watching you my mood got cheered up instantly. Thank you and good job achieving your goals.
Awesome job! Followed the whole resto journey and learned a lot. Looking forward to see if you do any upgrades!
I binge watched this restoration, absolutely amazing work.
🏁🏁Great intro Alex love this Delorean series still waiting on engine swap series next 😎🛠
Yes sir LS swap 👌
There is a smoking tire video with a twin turbo v6 Kia stinger engine swapped in a Delorean
Alex, as usual exceeding my completion expectation! That DMC is one sweet daily! Loved watching the kids and adults make new memories. Your wife as Marty's girlfriends seals the package ❤
One great restore and one great Halloween 🎉
Woah, hold the phone! I know the Knight Rider Historian guys! I've been following them for years as they restore the trailer from the Knight Rider series they finally found. So cool he has a DeLorean Time Machine and came on the show!
Whole video is awesome. I'm restoring a 1972 VW Super Beetle I inherited that hasn't run in 30 years. I'm finishing a ground up restoration including complete engine rebuild. This video series got me so excited seeing another fellow car enthusiast live out their childhood dreams restoring their car! I've always loved the look of the DeLorean, what an icon.
Loved it! you brought tears to my eyes!
That look on your face of unbridled joy is worth millions. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! (ps... hate to say it but your driver side brake/tail light is out... probably pointed out already by your astute viewers...) Looking forward to the next project, Alex!
So excited for the DeLorean video I have been waiting and waiting it's very rainy in Spokane today so gloomy out this really makes a Saturday that's gloomy go by great Alex your videos are always awesome and I appreciate every Saturday you come out with a new one keep up the great work
Hey Alex, I just wanted to say I love watching your videos, especially the DeLorean coming to life and being ready for Halloween. I was wondering were the updated video was and here it is. Great touch with going back in time haha classic.
That car is awesome, you are like a little kid eating his favorite candy. Enjoy it and allways be happy.
Love the fit and finish of all your videos and the journey of the delorean. The journey from start to finish of the delorean has been amazing. Thank-you for the journey.
I appreciate your selection of replacement parts, surface treatments and proper assembly techniques; it makes me feel good inside.
Awesome series about the Delorian... Thanks !!
Congratulations Alex, the DeLorean turned out spectacular, congratulations also to the entire group of people who did their part to finish the project, greetings from Argentina 🤠🤙
We got hit on the W MI shoreline. Be happy you didn't lose power for 24 hrs.😄
My fam is there, said they got 7 inches
I been waiting for this way too long! Can’t wait to watch it all! Awesome 🎉
Alex. At the 17:11 mark. With the Delorean on the lift. It looks just like the end screen of Back To The Future. Just add the wheels hanging facing down and some dry ice fog...... and its "88"% perfect. 😁👍
Alex I enjoyed every minute of your DeLorean experience. You worked extremely hard to make your car a near mint desirable collectible that anyone would envy to own. I like what your wife said “Are you going to make it faster?! You have her permission I can’t wait to see what you decide to do! You had a ton of fun and it showed you loved every minute bringing this gem back to your high standards. I’m happy for you!
Absolutely loves the intro, love watching you're videos bro!!!
Thanks Derek!
This video was so awesome 😌👌🏽 it made my Saturday morning 🌄 thank you Alex and max for the hard work yall do for us to watch 💪🏽 now thats legit
Another A++ video from Alex! I love this project series and the video effects when you went “back in time” was well executed.
Alex, such a labor of love, you did this car justice.
All the hard work and effort are way worth it.
Awesome restoration, feel privileged we got to see all that.
Maybe in the future a few modern resto mod touches?
Great Scott!
I’m excited!!
Man…love this channel! Couldn’t wait to watch it this weekend! Keep up the good work LSC!
Absolutely insane job Alex, but seeing that genuine joy when driving it and parking it on the lawn made my day. Enjoy that car to the max sir
Was literally sitting with my tablet waiting for this, My Saturday is complete!
Thanks for watching!!
This has been a great series and a pleasure to watch.
Excellent video series, Alex! Thanks so much for documenting each step of the way restoring this iconic ride!
Watching this whole process has been inspirational. I am so glad you took us along for the ride. Looking forward to many more hours of new legit street cars.
Epic finish I’m sure to an EPIC series! Thanks for making my Saturday now! My absolute favourite UA-cam series of 2023!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
absolutely loved the series. thank you
Greetings from 16028 in Sweden and a BIG THANK YOU for the detailed series and long episodes! A lot of these things I have done or planned to do myself, and this is a great resource, down to every nut and washer!
Really enjoyed the series! You make undoing bolts, cleaning them, then tightening them up again seem like fun. The final result is beautiful and something to be really proud of. Well done and thanks!
Love your videoss ❤❤
Thank you for the video series Max! This is one of the most thoughtful video series that can ACTUALLY teach some DeLorean owners some helpful tips and show them in real time how things on the DeLorean work including the Do’s and Don’ts. 2019 me would have loved to have this series at my disposal 😂 I may have gotten my car for $20k and only 9k miles, and MUCH better condition. But the work you pulled off shows you can take any pile of rusted parts and make it mobile once again!
Happy New Year from VIN#4693!
(I’m in St. Louis MO)
PS: If you ever get back to working on the frame. Please do a full frame off restoration and the process along the way. If you want to put a brand new frame in, the aftermarket has those now. Maybe even try.. a Stainless Steel frame? 👀
Alex, to me the best shot of the car is when you reverse out of the garage. 1:10:33 It truly captures the scale of the Delorean compared to the body line height of the LSC van and size of the Delorean compared to the LSC Police Cruiser. So cool.
Thanks for all your hard work and continued success on preserving the frame.
Kudos to max and all the amazing editing that hes been doing lately. Top-notch guys love the stuff every Saturday.
Always delivering the great videos as usual. We appreciate the efforts that you the team and your family are putting into this. Great job and can't wait for the next one.
this episode is a gem. Loved it.❤
I really love your happiness. It's as close as we can get to being in the car with you. Great job bringing her back to life.
Really explosion for the DeLorean going back in time 😂
Well done Alex. I knew you would meet your goal. Have fun driving this and I can not wait to see more content on the DeLorean.
Alex, you did an amazing job. You worked so hard on bringing the DeLorean back up and running. I really enjoyed watching the series, and seeing come back to life.
Dude, when the wife says "are we going to make it into a time machine", and "are we going to make this faster". You say YES.
Nice!!!
Don't worry about the DeLorean but just keep going with it until you finish it
You lost

What's your favorite movie or TV show car?
Green hornet
My favorite movie is cuties
DeLorean-elvira's thunderbird-and the good burger AMC pacer
Knight Rider 100%
I have always been a fan of the cars Tom Cruz had in his mission impossible movies and whatever Tony stark drove.
Love all your videos and the Delorean series was the best. I was checking UA-cam every day for updates on your DMC-12. Thank you.
Great series. Thanks.
You've invested so much time & money into this rebuild, just enjoy it as it is. The all-new suspension is lovely. I'm envious.
Alex the spring on the rack keeps tension on the white piece which holds the gears together at the right pressure. The idea is that as the gears wear over time, the spring takes up the space and keeps the right pressure. Some manual racks have a bolt adjustment for this so you can tighten the rack over time, but the spring makes things really nice.
Thanks, thats the confirmation I needed. I guessed the purpouse was to avoid developing any play as the gears wore out.
What a fantastic fun filled video , well done for taking the advice and not playing with the park brake lol
dang, i’m getting all my alfasud 1.5 servicing and repair time flashbacks!😅 cv joints! steering rack! fuel system! brilliant.
As a massive MASSIVE bttf fan, this absolutely appeals to my geek side as much as anything else. Love love LOVE it.
I like the movies, but as a car guy, this car.. it grows on me, more and more every time I see it. Even if it's a 130Hp V6, it's just so damn cool.
Awesome to see you met your own deadline. Intro was spot on 👌
Excellent video Marty, so happy you made it! Keep up the great content 😊
You did a really nice and good job on the car! 👍Keep going to make it even better and improve it! There are so many more things you can do. The DeLorean community has made so many upgrades possible over the last 40+ years!
I’m so proud of you for the hard work, living the dream 😴 🎉
This car is so clean it would be a shame to turn it into another replica time machine. You could just get some of the essential parts of the time machine parts like the mr. fusion, the flux capacitor, the rear "thrusters", time inputs, and some random hoses and basically make a "costume" for your car that you can easily put on and remove for events like car shows and Halloween. Then you can enjoy the car like normal but also have fun with it.
Absolute masterful series! Thanks so much for your time, and keep it up for all the coming videos!! 👍
This is so cool. A child’s dream come true. Such an awesome car. Great job !!!
Geweldig om te zien hoe jullie het samen doen geweldig 👌👍
Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼🇳🇱
This has been a great project. I am excited for you to have completed a bucket list item.
Such a big fan of you and BTTF, but I believe you should keep this one original. Now that you are a part of the DMC universe, you will come across another to build or complete into a movie car.
That's so awesome dude. Great for the kids. Also, My birthday is a day before (30th) Halloween. The dress-up is cool too.
Absolutely fantastic job. I have been waiting for the final reveal video. Super great job... Enjoy a beautiful restored Delorean. Great job you have a really great TV preasance. Perfect voice and look... You might want to think of approaching a cable car channel to have your own show..... ENJOY!!!
Congratulations, Alex. Well done such a great achievement to get the Delorean on your front lawn for Holloween. Loved the intro that was the best!
Thanks so much!
@@LegitStreetCars You're Welcome
As a fellow near Chicago Illinois guy I love the dad humor and other jokes. Really love that there is a car guy doing so good on UA-cam from the area. All of us 90’s kids wanted one of these cars.
Fox body content was one of my favs. A 98 eclipse gsx would be another with the arch wing and bbs.
Great video. Really made my day. Tomorrows my day off. I definitely be watching all three back to the Future. Thank you again for the great video
So happy for you and I’ve enjoyed this series so much. All your hard work has paid off!
That is a real friend letting you drive his time machine DeLorean in the snow.
Nice job on the video.
That looks like a hell of a lot of work you and Max put into it.
Totally loved this Delorean series of videos. i just happened to find your channel a few months ago, and am loving every minute of your content. The Knight Rider Historians channel is one that I've been keen on for awhile, so to see Eric and you mention them was a crossover event I never saw coming. Actually, there is a lot of good ideas there...
Fantastic build. Great to see it running. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Happy for you! Car guys know this feeling all too well. Literally a dream come true
Congrats on a wonderful back in time series. Great work and passion project looks amazing.
Awesome series. I was literally checking multiple times a day for updates.
I'm so happy for you. Great work getting it running. Thanks for bringing us along for the journey.
1:21:05 thought he looked familiar.. cool channel that I need to do some catching up on.. ✌️
And yeah , you need another to do a time machine replica build.
Alex, I'm so happy for you! And you gave us almost an hour and a half of DeLorean goodness🔥
