Installing the engine and other bits

 

Maurice and I worked until after 3am that Monday night, getting the radiator and cooling pipes mounted, transmission linkage, and the engine and gearbox installed, along with other bits and pieces such as the fuel accumulator and pipes, etc.

The following morning, Tuesday, we did a few more hours work, then Maurice had to return to Galway. I mounted the fuel tank while my daughter Katie helped out by making sure the suspension bolts were tight...

Also, later that afternoon, my friend Adrian stopped by for a few hours, and helped me install all the fuel, brake, clutch and AC lines that run along the frame. We went into the house a few times to reference a video I had taken of a DeLorean chassis with everything bolted into place. I didn't get any pics of Adrian helping out, but he was a great help, thanks Adrian!!

Adrian went back to Dublin, and my Dad arrived from Limerick shortly afterwards. I might have been short of time, but I was definitely not short of good friends and family willing to help out!

Here are a few pics of all this work...
