Your hobbies and projects

Inspired by Smoothies project thread. What project have you got going at the moment or completed. Or what are your hobbies?

As I said in Smoothies thread, I am at the beginning of a project to convert a car bucket seat into an office chair. A friend made one for me years ago, using an old bucket seat from a defected Holden Gemini I owned at the time. It has served me well, but the old vinyl seat is starting to come apart at the stitching, forcing me to put a seat cover on it, which looks quite tacky. I've decided to bite the bullet and make another one. Through work, I basically have an endless supply of decent quality used office chairs to pull apart. I'm basically up to the stage where I've pulled apart a chair and discarded the old seat and back rest.

I just missed out on a brilliant looking Recaro seat from a 5 series BMW on ebay the other day. On Monday I'm going to visit as many wreckers as it takes to find the perfect bucket seat for the project. On that note, if anyone can recommend any decent wreckers where I can find a sporty bucket seat at a reasonable price, I would be very grateful. Also, if anyone has any bucket seats they want to get rid of, let me know ASAP because I'd be very interested.

Here is my hobby quad riding. Don't get anywhere near enough riding for my liking though.
