The second best thing to sitting behind the wheel of your car...

I had a spare seat after replacing the front seats in my 87 rustbird TC.




Very comfy, and surprisingly painless to do.  Even had a small 12 volt power drill battery tucked up underneath to work the power lumbar.  Best gift I won't find under the tree.

I had the red ones from my sport in my room. Very comfortable. I was going to put them in the truck when I had it but never did. They are all apart right now to do something with the covers since the dye I tried didnt work. I think Im going to take one back to the dorm with me. Might make it a rocker.

That's great!
I need to look into doing that, My desk chair is an old executive with chipping/cracking pleather and springs keep popping. :mad:
