Lego's DeLorean Rejiggered

Description

This is, of course, my own fidgeting with the official BTTF DeLorean set Lego released last week. As with Hasbro's Transformers Construct-A-Bots, it's a really cool idea that somehow along the way picked up a couple flaws in the execution.
The two most glaring issues with this set are the ungainly-looking stacked-brick hood, which I'm guessing came about in order to accommodate the option to build the car with its 1955-era circuit board from Part III, even though I think had I bothered with it even I could easily have found a way around it that would still accommodate the board; and the car apparently being designed to accommodate only one minifigure, in spite of the facts that it comes with two - Marty and Doc, of course - and that the actual car itself was fully capable of easily holding two people even with a nuclear reactor stuffed in the back. Hence, with a little repurposing of bricks included in the set and cannibalized from some of the other Lego sets I had sitting around my workspace, here it is.
I might do a little more work on the door/windshield area so that the gull-wings look more like proper DeLorean doors...

...and I also noticed after the fact the plate on the driver's side door fell off. But I'm too lazy to retake the photo (since I have no photographic skills whatsoever), so, there ya go.

Great Scott!  Looks good.  I only ever got the tiny DeLorean from the Lego Dimensions set.  Amazingly they were actually able to design working gull-wing doors on the tiny one.
