Just kidding about doing this to the Berlina. Joseph, owner of the sweet BMW 2000 TILUX seen on the Pedal Pushers Rally <\/a>2008 sent me a link to passionsmobiles<\/a> who made the livingroom set up seen below out of a 1750 Berlina and will do the same for you for $25,000 -not sure if that includes the donor car. I’ve seen 57 Chevy trunk love seats and airplane wing desks but never a set made from most of a car. I hope it was rusted out in the middle.<\/p>\n

\"alfa1\"There is a line that was crossed here, but at least it wasn’t made from a TZ2 or something. I actually like the shape of the couch and would gladly put that in my house. Note the hubcap clock. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"alfa2\"It works for Elk and bucks, why not a Berlina? They turned the emblem on the trunkl lid over to read upright in it’s new orientation. Is that candle stick holder a transmission layshaft and the votive holderr on the engine\/table a second gear on some valve or clutch springs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"d_a\"Al least it’s not going to get crushed and return a dishwasher door.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"moteur_a\"I wonder why they have the valve cover nuts in up position. Engine looks nice and clean. Does it leak? Webers are worth a couple hundred bucks as is the Euro front cover with the dipstick below the distributor. I’d have left the spark plugs and wires in place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"table_a\"They used a lot of the engine parts cleverly. Connecting rods are welded to the timing gear. Obviously the rest is a cam and steering wheel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"salon_a2\"Another view of the set. The edge of the tables’ glass tops look dangerous.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sofa_a\"Upholstery looks correct for an Alfa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To each their own and more power to them. I prefer my Alfa components to be part of a moving experience on the road, but can see that this is where some people would want to take the passion for Alfa’s. Makes me want to turn a Fiat 500 into a hot tub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
