Ep 2. Delorean DMC-12

Wheeler Dealers is back, and in the second episode of season 9, hosts Mike Brewer and Edd China have their sights set on a classic car icon: The DeLorean DMC-12. Made famous by its appearance in the Back to the Future film series, the DeLorean is a car that has captured the imagination of enthusiasts and movie buffs alike for over 30 years.

The DeLorean DMC-12 is a car with a unique design and pedigree. Its gull-wing doors, stainless steel body, and mid-mounted engine make it a standout among other classic cars of its era. However, the DeLorean's reputation as a under-powered and unreliable vehicle has made it a difficult car to sell for collectors and car enthusiasts.

Mike and Edd are on a mission to turn the DeLorean into a profitable classic car restoration project. They find a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 that is in need of some serious restoration work. The car has been sitting for years and has rusted over time. To make matters worse, the previous owner has attempted to repair it with various non-original parts, making the restoration work even more challenging.

In typical Wheeler Dealers fashion, Mike and Edd take on the challenge, strip down the car to its bare bones and uncover the true extent of the work that needs to be done. They discover an engine that needs a complete rebuild, rusted bodywork that needs to be replaced, and a interior that is in poor condition.

Throughout the episode, Mike and Edd work tirelessly to restore the DeLorean to its former glory. They source original parts which are difficult to find, and work with specialists to repair and rebuild the car's engine and transmission. They also take special care to repair the gull-wing doors, making sure that they are in perfect working order.

As with every episode of Wheeler Dealers, there are plenty of moments of drama and tension. At times, it seems as though the DeLorean will never be fully restored. Mike and Edd encounter obstacles and setbacks, but they persevere, determined to make the DeLorean a success story.

In the end, the hard work pays off. The DeLorean is transformed from a rusted, unusable wreck into a stunning example of a classic car. Mike and Edd have successfully breathed new life into a car that had been left to rust away, and they have added a new classic car to the market.

Overall, episode two of season 9 of Wheeler Dealers is a must-watch for classic car enthusiasts and fans of automotive restoration shows. The restoration of the DeLorean DMC-12 is truly impressive, and the show is a great example of the hard work and dedication that is required to restore a classic car to its former glory.
