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.

That is the coolest looking sunbird I have seen! Wow!

Wait till you see the computer chair!

You should make another one from the other seat. That would probably fetch some money!

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.

that is awesome, when i get my own place i want to make furniture out of rear seats of classic cars

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.

Very nice!

Have you heard of anyone turning a rear bench seat into a couch? That'd be tougher because they're usually two pieces.

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.

Looks really nice!
I used a seat out of an old peterbilt i had and kept the air ride on it!

Next a fiero seat would be cool with the speakers in the head rest!

Thanks!

A fiero seat would be cool too, there is a couple at the local yard.

Someone with a lot of free time, power tools, and rusted-out Bonnevilles could make a small fortune here.

That looks cool. You should find a seat from a Fiero. They have speakers built in to the head rest.

I think you could make a bed out of an old Bonneville trunk..and that Caddy too. I'd like to have a couch made from the back seat of a mid 70's Lincoln.. but not one that's shaped like the back of the car, just the seat, and maybe the arm rest/door/side panels from the car cut to look good.

Im gonna make a bed out of a truck bed haha

Beat ya to it :thumbup2

LOL YES

we should make a house that is just dedicated to cars, everything made from cars

That'd be awesome. Make coffee tables from rims and put glass on top of them.

when i buy my new one here soon we can bild all the furniture from car parts..I have plenty LOL

I'd rather one like the Top Gear guys got :D

Well, post "ruined engine block" in the Wanted section. I'm sure someone has one, or two... or three.

I don't think I'd be able to find one that nice though.. lol

all you have to do is take the motor block..sand blast it then paint it lol

nice looking computer chair..it looks comfy! :D

ive always admired that coffee table

It still won't be easy finding a v12.. although I wouldn't mind a 454ci :D


Me too, but I kinda like the Top Gear USA one better, seems the glass is resting on some pistons

Thank you! And it is.

I think id rather have a fully build v12 sitting in my living room

Man, that IS amazing!. Talk about getting out of the box with ideas. I'm pretty sure a market would be there for upscale seats like this.

Thanks! I was thinking about making and selling these. I did a search on my local craigslist and found office chairs that were nothing special with an asking price of 100+ dollars. I'm sure I could make a little money on the side with these.

make me one :P

LOL

My buddy wanted me to make him one, but its raining and I don't want to go out in the rain with him to look for a chair he wanted.

Here is chair number 2. From a 1975 Fiat. This one I made for a buddy after we walked around the junkyard and found him a chair he liked.

That one is nice looks pretty comfy for a bigger guy like myself!

For such a small car it came out of, its a decent sized chair.

lol you are awesome, I kind of want to try this now

Lol thanks!

It's really fun to do and you make something really unique for not a lot of $$$

That one looks really comfy. How much do the seats usually cost at the jy?
