There has been a few tables posted up latley and that coffe machine made out of engine blocks.
Just seen this one on facebook, makes a change to the norm of a V block.

Yep were novel when the idea first was coined now it just looks like you have bits of engine in your house and you can't afford a proper stand.
An interesting clean engine still makes a good feature but people using old engines out of corsas and old imprezas is a bit try hard. May as well just go down the scrappy for your furniture.

I think it could have been done much better, painting it all gloss black hides a lot of the detail n' stuff. Silver with black/red details would be ace

needs to be silver really.
it seems like it'd be a good conversation piece. if i was a singleton i'd probably get something like this.

Needs to be out of a good car, when every pauper has one it's obviously not good anymore.

Looks ok but with the Alfa Romeo "Busso" engine i would rather it built up as a complete unit. Sexy as fuck those engines.
