Mr_Hamlet's 1981 DeLorean DMC-12

This car was brought up to Seattle from Houston Texas.  It had been sitting in a wearhouse rotting away since 1985.  When I got the car, it still had gas in the tank from 1985.  The original owner took the car to a shop to have the transmission repaired.  The shop was unable, for one reason or another, to repear the transmission.

I completely rebuilt the engine and car updating all the electronics.  The engine was ported, cast pistons replaced with forged, stronger head bolts, turbo tollerant head gaskets, etc.  I installed a Rajay turbo.  The engine is an aluminum block with most of the fascia components being aluminum as well.  As you can see from the picture, everything was polished.  It was a wicked pain in the ass to keep it shiney!
