Default My new 993 Office Chair.....

Hi Guys,

Thought everyone would appreciate this. I have fixed base race seats in my car so instead of my original seats just sitting around doing nothing I thought of making office chairs out of them. here is the result... I am thinking of painting the chair bas Guards Red to match my car...

Very, it took a while to get the seat base rake right, I was even thinking of getting the electrics working..... One day.

I am also working on arms for the other seat..

Same seats in my car although mine have supple leather and sans heat. My favorite seats in any car ever. I think you could only get them in '95.
