Sunbird Computer Chair
I know what you are thinking. I got a crappy seat from the junkyard from a sunbird and made a computer chair out of it. LOL Kind of...
The car I got the seat out of.

I was looking for leather grand prix seats, but I wasn't finding anything that was really nice. So I stumbled upon this beautiful white leather seat in a sunbird that only had 57k miles on it.

Right now, I am still working on mounting it to the base of a computer chair. But when I am done I'll post a picture. The seat is really comfortable to sit in.

I thought about grabbing both of the seats, but the driver side one wasn't perfect like this one is. It had a couple of minor scuffs. This one is the passenger side.
I'd imagine that this could be worth a good amount of money. My old computer chiar I paid over 200+ dollars for. And this chair blows it out of the water.

Sweet project. I've been in the market for a new computer chair, but haven't made the purchase yet. Looks like you definitely took the initiative and made one cool chair.

Thanks! That would be awesome. I might do that for a couch in the basement. Since I had to toss the old one when it flooded.

I've never seen one done, but I'm sure it could be done. Whatever base you make for the bottom cushion would need to have a backing that goes up for the top cushion of that seat.
