Car parts provide great ideas for interior design. When your old rusty four-wheel monster finally kicks the bucket, you can still salvage some parts for pretty cool furniture pieces. Car Couches is an obvious design combination, which can be quite attractive when used with collectible vehicle parts. At Route66 store you can get many more.

Airplane Parts Furniture

Airplane parts provide even better design statement, more intricate looks and more high-tech feel. In fact, air bombs are the a perfect fit for a bar, for example, which you visit to "get bombed" anyway. Motoart company makes a good use of old collectible parts, see many examples at the site's gallery.
