time for something a little different.
I've finally got round to designing and building my sim racing chair which I bought a seat for last year. I got fed up of being uncomfortable when playing Forza or F1 so decided to make a proper mount for the wheel and pedals. I had some metal I was going to build a frame for the Punto chassis to sit on but I've changed my plans for that so it was just laying around. So not only do I get a nice race seat it's giving me good practice on the welder too.
Here's the design:

And here are some progress pics:

I've marked up the placement for the bolts which will hold the seat in place and I'll drill them out tomorrow. :)
