[kitt]

Hi.This project was started by me and a friend.I was inspired by Jeremy Clarkson where he convert the old porsche engine into a coffee table in one of the top gear episodes.the end result will be like this :

so here we go :1.bought the engine from mr Yap (GT-E34).thank you to his foremen for separating the engine parts.it is an M52B28 i think.

2.initial design at home
