I just wanted to keep everyone up to date on the happenings of the 89 TII that I'm rebuilding. I took nine pics, but only two turned out, then the quality sucks on them too, so I have to take more tomorrow.

This is one of the subframe and the underside of the drivers side suspension.

 

Here is a pic of the suspension that I built.

 

Sorry for the shitty quality of the pics, but like I said, I'll post better ones tomorrow, so I'm sorry for these really horrible ones

 

Well the pics didnt turn out for $hit but the car looks sweet!! When the good pics post everyone will see all the hard work that has gone into the fc!!!!

 

Thanks gz91rx7, at least that makes me feel a little better. Damn digital camera. I'll get some better ones on maybe tonight.

 

Damn, that subframe looks great even in that bad shot. I can't wait to see it done!!!! NICE!!!

 

Check your damn private messages todd!

 

your camera was in mosaic mode LMAO

can't wait to see normal pix

 

I just did check them, and their aren't any new ones as of late. The last one that I got was the one with the location of you avatar.

 

Here is one of the subframe, notice the Cusco under stru bar in the rear of the sbuframe.

 

This one is the shot of the transmission housing and the driveshaft area from the front of the car. Yes, the rear subframe is epoxy coated too.

 

Another of the subframe

 

Here is another subframe shot

 

This is a better shot of the suspension

 

Here is some of the other **** that I have to do yet.

 

Here is a shot of the car from the corner of the garage.

 

NICE!

 

Haha looks like my garage .. parts all over looks like a hell of a detailed project. Good work!

 

dammit! the last one didn't send.
Ill send it again

 

wow. that looks amazing !

 

Thanks. I've given a ton of time and effort in the last few months to get this the way that I want it.

 

my TII engine bay looks umm..... old i don't have the patience to do all that. hopefully my TII will be running tomorrow with some help from friends/forum members

 

Yeah, that's basically what happened to mine. The rest of the car was immaculate...then you opened up the hood. So when the engine blew...I decided that was my opportunity to get the job done right. The TII hasn't been on the road in some time now...but I have a 95 R2 to keep me satisfied. I can't wait till they both roll together...soon.

 

Very nice! One thing about the epoxy coating though: water tends to get underneath the epoxy and stay there, rusting the metal underneath. The result is an area that is only held together by the epoxy itself. It's probably a good idea to check the epoxy every week or so for signs of cracking, and replace any damaged areas immediately. It may not start for a few years, but sooner or later it will happen. FWIW, this is a major problem on DeLoreans sine they have a very thin steel frame, coated with epoxy.

 

Thanks for the info. I don't think anything will happen to it. I don't drive the car that much, but now that I know that...I'll have to keep an eye open for that. Thanks.
