Not really porsche parts but just about everything i build out of metal is recycled from somthing. I never bought new steel for anything. I just completed this gocart Its made mostly of bicycle parts and bed frame

I use old rotors to teach the six-year-old how to catch a frisbee. He needs a bit of toughening up.

Now I need to find some smaller Porsche parts to fix his teeth.

Used front rotor holds a 3-wick candle very well. Although I haven't lit the candle in about 3 years, so it just takes up room on the coffee table. Maybe time to find a different use.

Here's my paper towel holder.

I throw one into the bottom of a planter when I re-plant a big plant like a ficus tree. Helps keep them from blowing over in the wind

Al,
Great paper towel holder. What part is that? I don't recognise it.

...looks to be an early lower valve cover with a couple connecting rods on the ends to support the grey pvc pipe center rod.

Larry,

Remember 1990?

I have an use 911 piston which has three valves welding on which is a great cigar holder. This was given to me by Jane Bennett.
Any other ideas for these and other things?

brake rotors would make an excellent freasbe for an annoying chiuahua!

[al lkosmal]

Chris,
Thanks. The paper towel holder is made from a valve cover and two rods. Cut a length of PVC pipe to hang the roll from. Got to do something with the old lower valve covers when replaced with the later style. (good eyes JFairman)

I'd cut the rotors in half and weld the halves together at right angles to make bookends.

I love the trophy. Left Coast ingenuity never ceases to amaze me!

The guy who used to build my VW motors had a wood burning stove in his shop....the vent stack was made from old cylinders which made for excellent heat exchangers.

I made a table out of a left over wheel

Got to love these last two. That retro dinette table is very cool. And I'd love to see a piture of the woodstove smoke stack made of engine cylinders. Tremendous idea!
