Converting a car seat into a chair?

Mr Benevolent · 03-04-2012 11:09AM #1

I'm scrapping a car and it has a set of very comfortable leather Momo seats. I would like to convert the passenger seat into a computer chair. Doesn't need to be adjustable or anything, just needs to be built at the right height for me in front of the PC. Does anyone know of any conversion kits that might be available to do this sort of thing? Or an easyish DIY way of doing it?

try google, I came across some stuff immediately, e.g. like this :

Thanks, looks like I was overthinking the idea. Much simpler than when I had in mind. I could sell the set of Momos along with the Teledials, but that'd be no fun.

Would you consider turning the engine block into a desk?

No, it's only an I4. Things would fall off it.

Do what they did for the Triumph Stag, take two I4's and weld them together at an angle, sorted!
