Id want a few porsche things in my house..but it sounds like youre overdoing it. It will look horribly tacky if eveyrhting in your house is porsche related.

i have 4 old pistons and cylinders from my 912 that im looking to do somthing with.. just need degreased and cleaned up and they will look good.. i know a pencil holder is one option.. but i need otthers.

also i would like to get an engine case from some kind of porsche, clean it up and use it for a coffie table (ive got the glas already for the top).

see parts from a blown up engine are good for somthing after all!

perhaps you should call parts heaven and get a blown engine on the cheep and make a table out of it.

I use my spare set of 944 floor mats on my bathroom floor and my front door entrance.

How about a Porsche door handle for your front door? And while you're at it, replace your doorbell with a nice set of Porsche horns.

The dealership near me has an actual porsche floor mat that's huge - maybe 6'x4' with a giant crest on it. It'd look pretty corny anywhere than a garage or a dealership though.

Looks great on their wall hanging up though.

Take the back end off a cabriolet and make a BBQ out of it...

Take the seats and put a big a$$ spring under them with the wheels on the bottom. Kind of like a recliner

i think it might be good as a front door mat,
now things dont have to be porsche, but could imply auto things
though there are porsche design appliances, such as blenders and such..

Hmmmm what about that 996 turbo desk top computer.... Well it i didnt already have this notebook...

Hoosier Daddy had a real monster garage/apartment. He'd put living space in a garage, so his refrigerator was next to the parts washer, across from the press break. When you walked in his door the first thing you'd see was his 951 on jackstands. I haven't seen his new place, but the old one was badass.

Well i guess i could use my gt2 calipers as book ends or paperwieghts!!!
