Engine Internals For Sale VQ35DE

wow I bet that took alot of time. Now to catalogue it all. Always fancied a block to make a coffee table out of like on top gear. ;)

 

I did that, but I used a Mercedes M113 engine lol. Bought the entire thing, still running, for £300 delivered!

Sold a lot of it n got a nice 5.0 V8 table.

Be warned, it's a lotta work taking them apart while trying not to break things, and you'll spend double your budget making it haha.

Had mine powder coated in a bright silver, and used conrods/pistons for feet/arms for the glass. Conrods were painted gunmetal for a bit of contrast.

And glass is more expensive than you might think!

I was surprised by the price of glass, in a good way. Mine was I think £40. Link below for some pictures of my Z coffee table. Had the block powder coated silver, rods gunmetal. Then pistons and top faces of block mirror polished. Still looks great a year on :D And it has LEDs :lol:

Alex - might be after a couple of pistons (no rods) in the near future for my next furniture idea. How much would 2 with postage be? Cheers, Matt :D

You wouldn't happen to have had it done in Ferndown by TheWheelSpecialist would you?
