My desk chair broke the other night and I fell straight through it...  Straight onto eBay and found the closest and cheapest seats on there which were about to end, Rover p6 too, comfyyy ;D Picked them up this morning for the princely sum of 99p, some wood from B&Q and.... ta-daaaaa  Well pleased! and it is as comfy as I hoped! ;D Anyone else got some homemade chairs? Did the passenger first as it was best condish, got another to do whenever  Ryan ;D |

Thanks! I've got the driver's one and some spinning mounts I mocked up that I might bosh together, did this one first as it was passenger and I didn't need one that spun. The wood's only screwed through holes already in the frame, so it'll all come off and you need'nt know, might do my mini's buckets next winter when it's off the road! ha ;D

Monza Recaro.  The base consequently disintegrated though and I never fixed it. |
