They are stainless still and aren't painted.

The dude that made it is a douche. He has been in so many failed car making projects. He really needs to give up, I mean the guy hasn't contributed anything to the automotive world but he manages to find work or inverstors and makes crap cars like De'loreans.

I think you'll find that he 'gave up' a year or so ago...

I had alook into these a while back and was not impressed by the overall concept.

They are an 80s car with all the imperfections of that era, theres a mob in the US that can offer any type you want from basic stock to fully stripped and improved everything that is know to go wrong.

The only thing they have going for them is they are rare and collectable, I dont think they would loose value now.

One of the biggest drawbacks are the stainless body panels, as the repair of them is nigh impossible to get that straight look again and is cheaper to buy new panel even at todays prices, or paint the whole thing, which is an effort if you have ever tried to paint stainless properly.

Delaoreans were meant to be like proper supercars.. but they ended up with a V6 and a f**king heavy body :S think about it, how would you get out of the car if you flipped it?

if you managed to flip a 2 tonne car i dont think you'll be getting out of it.

I remember when these were first released, delorean had a lot of car makers running scared with his ideas.

"A car that could last a man a lifetime", imagine that!!, great for the environment, not a bad idea...especially in the disposable 1980's. Add some rumoured industrial espionage and it's a very interesting history for a very interesting car.

It's a shame that manufacturing costs and the price tag were so prohibitive.

@ 55k it's a worthy investment and at when peak oil hits us at least you'd have something with a decent scrap value :bunny:

Oh and sif paint stainless.....just hit it with the buff, beautiful.

Stailess steel! f**ks sake, does it come with a sink in the boot and a chopping block?

Nope doesn't come with either of those...nor does it come with rust...ever

It's little wonder the big three made sure he failed.

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese inย  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things ย i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised ๐Ÿ™‚ย  I know what it looks like ย 
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
