Had enough....

[CP]

...of my crappy office chair. The back fell off, it was difficult to adjust, was always coming apart and was generally not at all comfortable. I got neck and shoulder ache sometimes on it.
So had a bit of a brain wave and sorted this:

Its a BMW M seat out of an M535. It's full adjustable and leather and its the best thing I ever did! Well worth it and seriously comfortable:D

Seeing as CP did it I imagine that there was some very neat welding, and some CAT bolts involved :).

Does it feel safe or does it feel like the welds will snap/crack soon lol

[CP]

Thats awesome. Might have a go at something like that myself, as the current seat on my chair is fake leather with some £2 foam inside as padding, and is crap...

Hmm, plenty of Omega/Cav leather seats in scrappy :cool: lol
