Modded office chair...heh heh...

Not sure if I posted this here or not...

Had my old Legacy GT seats sitting around...been meaning to do something with them...well, about a month ago, while bored, I got a wild hair up my A$$...here is the result...

What do you think? I need to make a better mounting bracket to lower the seat height a bit...but it has full reclining and functionality that the lgt seats had along with height and arm rest adjustability...

It's really comfortable...ok...do something with your old seats laying around...

Post pics up here when you get them done...

You need a plastic runner really...rolls ok though, it is definitely heavy. You can see the end of the runner where it normally sits on...

Yeah, my Xbox 360 (Modern Warfare) son has been eyeing it up as of late...I plan on putting a lock on my office door...lol! It would be perfect for that...you kind of sink into it and don't want to get up once you are in...maybe install a leg rest or get a small ottoman to rest my feet on...

Nice! I have a pair of seats, made one a chair, the other would be for gaming with my Fanatec wheel (which I have yet to unwrap...)

(was at work, now for sale!)
