First off, I wasn't really sure as to where I should put this thread...but because it kinda deals with cars I decided "General Automotive" was the way to go.
Anyway, here's a little history behind the "creation":
My buddy and I realized that since our college apartment only came with 1 couch we would need some more furniture for other people to sit on in the living room. We both watch Top Gear, and figured...anyone can go out and just buy furniture (In end then, with what we paid we could have just gone out and bought furniture...) but nobody has seats from a car in their house. So we set out to scour the "internets" to find some car seats that we could use for the living room, with no real plan as to what we really wanted or where to even look. After messing around with ebay for a few days and realizing it was a waste, I ventured off onto various forums for a number of different car models and manufacturers. After searching I found someone who lived fairly close to us who was selling the seats out of a '96 BMW M3. I contacted him and we decided we would go check them out. We went there with the intention of just getting the back seats, and ended up leaving with the fronts and backs.
Below is what I built for the back seats. Please keep in mind, that I built everything from my head, thanks to pre-sleep brainstorming and boredem at work I had a general idea of what I wanted to do...however some areas may be a bit crude.
I still need to sand and paint the frame and I am open to suggestions as to what color.
Please leave your comments and opinions, I'm interested in what everyone thinks.
