Have you ever thought about what you can do with old auto parts? Once my friend thought about it and began to look for ways to use the unusable parts of his car in the decor. You see, his house is not far from mine, and there are always a lot of old cars next to him. Every day, watching the dump of old cars, he could not help but think about how to turn them into something new and attractive. And then he decided to bring this idea to life and began to look for DIY projects (do it yorself - do it yourself) for the recycling of old car parts. Here are 5 great ideas that he has implemented.
If you like to give things a second life, then I promise that all these DIY ideas will come to your taste. This is called making a treasure out of mud! There are so many great ways to use the details of old vehicles in a rustic décor. Who would know! For example, you can make drawers using car door handles, or even a whole cabinet with shelves from the hood of an old car.
My friend loves to create new objects and tools for the home and garden, and therefore there are such amazing ideas on this list. And all this is very simple. Most of them will require only a few hours to translate. And, even if you did not have spare parts that could be used, you can find them cheaply on any flea market. People sell such things for up to 100 rubles, just to get rid of them. You know how they say: for one, garbage, for another - a treasure.
1. Shift lever as a switch.
The gear shift lever in the car is used, as the name implies, to shift gears. If you take the lever of a manual gearbox from some broken car and connect it instead of the rocker in the electric switch, you get a very original device for a workshop or a garage.
2. Recycling door and window handles in a drawer
Old door and window handles from cars and trucks look great on a chest of drawers or cabinet. You just need to remove the handles from the vehicle’s devices and attach them to the chest drawers or cabinet doors. To do this, simply screw them using existing holes. This is a great idea for a boy’s room or dresser in a garage.

3. The back of the bed with bookshelves from the hood of the car
The hood of the old car can be turned into a beautiful back of the bed. This is also a great idea for a boy or girl’s nursery if your princess loves cars. You can install the shelves for books inside the hood so that the child always has the opportunity to read his favorite book at his leisure. Isn't that amazing? And this is really a very simple project that you can do with your own hands.

4. Homemade mail organizer
You can make a cute rustic mail organizer out of an old heating coil, which is easy to get out of an old car or truck. It looks great - especially if you are attracted to farms, and it can also be a great gift for your favorite mechanic or gardener. You can also use it as a stand for recipes in the kitchen if you want something related to cars in a household style. It's super simple, and you can also find an old spiral at any flea market for a couple of hundred rubles.
five.Cute highchairs from the old jack
It is very simple to make wonderful little chairs for children. To do this, use the old car jack as the base / legs, and the seats and backs can be made from restored wood panels. Their industrial style fits perfectly into the interior of a country house.
