I thought you guys may get a kick out of this...
Some of you will remember my Car-BQ from a while back...
http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic ... highlight=

Well Ive decided to take a step up and make a bar out of my balcony set up and call it the mini bar.
It started around 6 months ago and looked like this...
Image

Since then Ive aded a few beer taps pumping out home brew but I thought I might go that one step further and give it a car theme that the title deserves.
First things first was to replace the bar top...
Heres what I started with:
Image
After a bit of cutting, sanding...

Image

Im replacing my beer tower with a car muffler, I know it isnt strictly a mini muffler, but I need something with a bit of show and also big enough to hold my taps:
Image

As for the tower itself I decided to go with two exhausts and use one simply as a donor for a cover panel
Image
Image
Image

The taps will come out of the panel in the pic above, I just need to find a tool capable of drilling a 24cm hole in stainless...
Ill post more pics up tomorrow once the tower is mounted and beer is pouring. Ill also include a few pics of the rest of the setup..
including what else im adding to go with the car theme....

Does anyone have an automotive outside temperature gauge btw?

Cant you get a 24cm holesaw?

You can but the two I've tried just seem to go blunt. I've got an adjustable hole cutter which looks like it will do the job.
