Holly thread resurrection Batman!
I’m thinking about converting our internal garage into a cool (by my usual uncool standards) office space. I would like to make sure that it still looks, feels and functions as a garage but make it a nice place to spend time.
Initially it will be an office for me when I’m working from home, and provide somewhere for me to display “my” stuff, like my first BMX and various car bits & pieces. ]
Which one was your first BMX ?

What was first BMX ?
I have a couple of these Poang footstools from Ikea - I don't think it would be hard to bolt the runners of a car seat onto something like this . These don't have castors , so if you wanted it wheeled , look for something else , but a small footstool or coffee table would probably make a good base .Before I set about my office chair with a socket set and hammer, anyone know of any conversion kits?
Google searches turn up all sorts of DIY jobs, but I hoped to get a kit of some sort.
I've just bought a W211 E55 seat for this very purpose!!![]()
Sure it may be a while but of course I’ll do thatOld thread indeed and good luck with the project!
Could I ask you for a favour as you have the seat out already. Could you send some pictures of the mounting points for the chair to the car body? I often wonder if the stock rails could be modified to get the stock W211/W219 seats to sit ever so slightly lower. I love a nice low driving position.
I had a similar thought Will. It’s been in storage for almost it’s entire life so it needs a good clean but it might be interesting to list it on eBay to see what it’s worth before doing anything else to it.Rob,
I’d think that if the E55 211 seat was in good condition, it would be worth a pretty penny nowadays are many of these cars have aged (circa 15 years) and have typically 100-150k+ miles on them.
You might get quite decent money from it towards a ready made/more suitable office/car chair hybrid? Just a thought![]()
That looks great! How did you mount it?I made an office/gaming chair a few years ago from an SLK R171 seat.
With the recent lock-down and working from home, I have been spending quite long periods on it, always comfortable and supportive.

Good idea, I considered a Poang chair back when I bought the car seat but concluded it might not be strong enough because of it’s flexing design, but the stool is a genius idea, thank you!I have a couple of these Poang footstools from Ikea - I don't think it would be hard to bolt the runners of a car seat onto something like this .

POÄNG footstool, birch veneer/Knisa light beige - IKEA
This footstool is comfortable to rest your feet on and has the same unique shape as the armchair with its strong layer-glued frame. Put your feet up.www.ikea.com
It’s 1984 Diamond Back Viper. When I have time I’m planning to restore it.Which was your first BMX
My son has a GT to hang next to it. It will be like a tiny BMX Museum!Nice , I wish I never sold my last one![]()
Cracking job. I wish I was a bit handier. I wonder whether Aldi has any welders on special offer?!Just some 25mm box section welded to the rail. I used quite a substantial base from an Office Equipment reseller, the regular bases seemed a bit lightweight and this had the potential to be a bit top heavy
