Hey so I just fitted a full leather interior in my V70 T5 2006, and now I have my old interior, seats and door cards just sitting in my garage..... What to do... I want to make the seats into some gaming seats, has anyone else done anything similar? I was thinking about building a base and then just mounting the seats on them... Cheers Sanj
also planning this for the man cave. I'll make up a simple frame to bolt them onto with a small gap between to fit a small table kind of thing to put the beers on.
What a great idea, post some pics please!

I really want a Volvo seat for my office, I have the base ready. Just need the seat. :)
I'm just going to use inch box and clad it in some kind of ally or chequer board
I used to make these for side line, I've made 400-500 office chair and a few sofas. I did some at Virgin and capital fm and quite a lot in Canary Wharf and a few company offices complete, actually did the special effects company that did the cadburys adverts with the airships in the sky I used predominantly Alfa seats and some electrically adjust and even heated. Box won't look brilliant but I used tube and tig'd it but you can use scaffold handrail and key clamps looks good
Biff - I have a spare drivers seat you can have if u want, or I might convert all of them

I work as a quality engineer for an optics company so glass dust gets everywhere! Ideally I need leather so it wipes clean (oooh-er missus) ;)
