Originally, the previous owner (or P.O.) wanted to restore the car. He had quite a bit on his hand, as the car had been previously sitting in someone's back yard for quite some time. Attached are pics from his files when he first purchased the car:
Needless to say, it needed work. The p.o. was able to do quite a bit in the time he had it. Not only did he get the car to run, but he was able to redo the entire fuel system, flush out the brake system, and replace quite a few parts.
Getting the car home itself was quite an ordeal. Originally, I had intended to film the entire day, but due to headaches and frustrations, that quickly fell by the wayside. Instead, I only captured a few pictures.
These were taken in south florida right before I offloaded the car. Since I didnt get the car unloaded until late, I had to wait to fully document the car. This is the condition of the car the next morning in the sun:
My first priority was to WASH the car, because it is filthy. The car was stored outside, which shouldn't affect a car in any way, but because of the DeLorean's AWESOME open vented engine bay design, rain, dust, dirt, spiders, monkey's, volkswagens, etc... can all just land in that engine bay and make it dirty.
Here is a pic after a quick bath.
