"COCKPIT"

Postby KWAK » Sun Dec 28, 2008 4:57 pm

Well I'm proud to say and I'm sure 4aged is aswell, that we are both the proud owners of R32 Skyline GTS-T coupe front seats! This means we are a step closer to completing our "Cockpits". For myself I have a g25 and now have a seat that is not only comfortable but also has a fair amount of "bucket"-ness to it. So will be well supported on those long drives! Next step is to head to "bunnings" and gain some wood for making the frame for the seat and wheel etc to be mounted to and in.

This is what I'm planning on making, along these lines anyways.

Think it would be about 7 months pay for you lil feller if you're still just doing the 1 paper round so you'd be better to stick to your mouse for now!

Liking the cockpits !

Something I need to get around to sorting (or more likely buying) at some point...

How do you get past the female, what the hell are you doing, factor ? I know for one, I will receive constant streams of abuse from the Mrs about being a total geek as and when I get a cockpit sorted !
