OV9

This guy does some nice engine-block tables etc, but some of his "upcycled" vehicle => home seating look lovely (and comfy!)

example

Nice - I wanted to take the two front seats out of my Volvo 440 when I scrapped it to make 2 chairs for the garage (Mainly for people to sit on when they went out for a smoke)

But it lot harder than I had planned for (for my non-mechanical self) and required some specialist tools (which I didn't have).

Pity

I've already decided if anything happens to my Mito or 6 Series I'll turn the seats into furniture and the front into a fridge

Tbh I’d probably stick a bmw v12 in something.

Needs a lot of work to un-drift it. It has potential though. Road trip to Poland ? Polish food is very good.

Now THIS is a vice. Woof.

"Car located Poland . Price includes the cost of transportation " but yeah, if you'd rather go collect count me in as a co-driver.

One for M539 I think. Probably not easy to source bits for.

How the fuck do you get a W10? Two banks of 3 and one of 4? Two VR5s with a common crank?

Oh crap, it's two VR5s with a common crank

Hardly a surprise when the W12 is two vr6s glued together

I can't decide which is worse. The yellow one is awful. The white one is ghastly.

I can't say I like it, but on paper Impreza underpinnings rebuilt into a lightweight 2-seater is a pretty cool idea.

The AMS Kit car looks like it was styled by Leepu and assembled by Stevie Wonder.
