I really couldn`t afford to buy new Back to Back Seats for my old Chrysler Valiant so I made my own for less than $100 for the works. I designed them to be storage spaces for my Life jackets and stuff.angle (Small).JPG

Re: DIY Seats

Nice! extra storage is always good.

I was going to comment that the black would bake your buns, but then noticed you are up in Newfoundland... Toasty buns might actually feel nice up there :D

Nice seats. What are the holes in the base for? Speakers/lights.

Re: DIY Seats

those turned out really nice. actually I bet they are better than store bought, because they can be a perfect match for what you want in a seat. good job.
