It all depends how far you want to go... I figure it like this... people may disagree A DeLorean that needs work $6000-$10000 Pay someone to do an engine swap $10000 - $25000 Interior with new custom wiring, electronics, dash etc. $10000-$30000 So you could conceivably do it all for $30000 assuming you use a PRV based engine (eagle 3.0) and do not do a custom dash or custom seat frames and do a good deal of legwork between shops. Another alternative is to go to a hot rod shop and tell them what you want and have them do everything. That'll run at least $60000 but probably closer to $100000. It's the labor that'll Kill ya And keep I mind for any project that you are doing, have an additional 50% for unexpected costs. You might be able to hack together something cheaper but I will caution you against that... you may end up with a death trap.

My dream is to own a delorean, more for the external style of the look than dealing with all the endless internal problems. The car being over 20 years old means the level of the technology is serious lacking compared with the cars of the present, as this goes without saying. Is it possible to get a delorean, where all the insides are completely replaced with lets say a more reliable modern car / engine etc.... I want the look of the Delorean, but the technology / engine / insides of a modern reliable car? Would like to know if this is an option and what it is going to co$t.
