Yup, One down, three to go.

Final cost - About £210 - all in, less labour.

(Also bearing in mind some bits were *cough* free).

Why, I've locked the other thread . . . ?

It's hardly a smiley fest, either.

Yup.

Where it is now.

The plan is to replace the sofas with a corner unit next year so the table will work better then . . .

That's been gone since . . . . . err . . . I think since I moved into Furzton ?

Maybe shortly after ?

I remember taking aload of stuff to "Help the Aged" . . . . .

T'was an Arg-oose jobbie.

Whats left to do then??

Core plugs.
Final positioning.
Bolt-up sump.
Fit front pulley/fan blades.
Strip and repaint main pulley and fan blades.
Fit Dizzy clamp and Oil sensor.
Obtain alternator and brackets, paint, fit.
Fit belts.
Touch-up paint where required . . .

Not too bad . . . mainly the Alternator slowing me down . . .

N'ah.

I'm not a fan of that website, TBH.

The whole reason I've made these bits instead of brought similar is because they're REAL.
Certainly not to save time or money !

I like the look of their stuff but personally would never buy it.

MODIFICATIONS IN STORE . . . .

I'm having the central support re-made and POWDER-COATED this time.

The old one was painted and I was never happy with the finish.

Also I'm adding internal welds this time too which'll (hopefully) give it a much more professional look.

Calling time on this coffee table !

It's had 9 years in service, endured 1 dog, 1 baby, 100's of pints of beer and 1000's of cups of tea and coffee . . . but all good things come to an end.
As the lounge evolved over the years the table started to look out of place.
Oddly enough, Sammy loves the table, so, most likely a replacement will be built (time permitting) but to better suit the shape of the lounge.

I'll put the whole thing up for sale soon, if anyone's interested ?

Incursus · « **Reply #23 on:** April 08, 2015, 12:44:38 pm »

Not sure where we'd put it though..

I've still got plenty of spare wheels if you want to make more!

FUBAR · « **Reply #24 on:** April 08, 2015, 05:28:43 pm »

I'm definitely interested if it'll fit, whats the diameter of the glass? and what sort of £ are you thinking of?
