Great stuff! I have a spare EVO block that is damaged and beyond repair I might build a table out of it.

I'm a mechanic haha. seems fitting I guess. I would sell it but I doubt anyone would want to pay me what I want for it That seems to be how art stuff goes. people only want it at ikea prices.

hehe... I have a few old parts around that I wanted to cannibalize into furniture. Blown 1jz block, ebay turbo, and a spare set of rims. Guess I should get to work cleaning them up.

thread revival! I made this yesterday. Coaster! and also added the racing chair lol. Its only temporary until the bracket comes to install it in the car. I definitely want to get some cheapy ebay seats though and make an office chair now!

Parts:
ES350 trans pump gear
SC430 Pebble beach centercap (antiqued somewhat)

pretty simple. applied felt to the bottom of the gear, set the centercap in, mixed some acrylic and poured it on top, periodically worked out the bubbles and let it cure. takes about 36 hours to be 90%. 72 for complete cure.

I think it would be cool to make a lamp out of an SC headlight or taillight.
