    M70 wine rack

    Got bored after parting out an E32 this summer. Finally put this together last week after a few months of waiting on blasting, glass, epoxy etc. The block is angled back 5 degrees from vertical to help keep the bottles in, and the glass is angled forward 5 degrees to compensate. I think it looks pretty cool!

    C. So sad that these engines are relegated to this.

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

    Beautiful. Not real easy to move, I bet. I wish I had one and a good place to put it.

    Thanks--the wife and daughter actually really like it; that's part of the reason it took four months to make. The car had been parked without any intake covers and attacked by rats (I pulled three from the engine harness and valley, where every hose and wire had been destroyed), so the engine was never going to run again. Most of the intact parts made it into other E32s and E31s.

    Not too bad, actually. The block weighs about 60 lbs, and the glass 15 or so.
