So after walking back and forth past my unfinished coffee table i made in year 11 (4 years ago) many many times i realised i could probably sit in there so i tried and i could fit. Almost F1 fitment haha. I then went and found a piece of timber from the shed for the wheel and shifter to sit on. It worked pretty well considering but theres a few issues.
1. The pedals need to be propped up to give them some angle which i havent found a good solution for yet.
2. The bars that run the length of the table get in my elbows way while turning, i can cut them out and put them lower by 200mm which would fix it i just gotta work out a good way to do the cutting and sticking them back in.
3. It needs some padding for obvious reasons but thats easy to fix.
4. Way to mount my LCD on it safely.
Anyway some pics of it now. Need some time to fix it up and make it look pretty if it seems like its going to be any good but here we go
