I deleted my rear seat 18 months ago; removed all seat belts and latches as I was not planning on using the rear seats any longer. With the rear seats taking up room in my spare room, I thought to myself why not make use of them. Therefor, I created a nice and simple 'MINI' Loveseat.

You can see some low qualitly pics(cell phone) of the project in my 'MINI' Loveseat album. I'll try to use a real digital cam to post some higher resolution pics! BTW the frame was made out of scrap lumber I had lying around my yard too!

PS: I plan on making 2 end tables out of my 4 stock 17" by 7" S-lites capped with 18-20" diameter glass.

 

Thats a pretty sweet chair!

 

Nice job on teh seat, I really like the wheel table idea as well.

 

Yeah a couple buddies of mine made tables out of the OZ wheels from the Audi P1 cars (pre diesel) at Sebring. They waited until like 4 in the morning outside the Audi tent and one of the mechanics came up and asked if they wanted anything. They said yes and he came out with 4 of the wheels that they used in the race . I as so pissed I wasn't there .

 

Yeah it sure pays to have a pit/paddock pass!

 

Three more-slightly higher resolution-photos added to my 'MINI' Loveseat gallery. Enjoy!

Very cool.

(your not married ..hu)

 

You're right but I have a great girlfriend though! She even helped me with the fabric covering of the seat frame.

Excellent! Reminds of what Top Gear used to have going on in there studio.

 

I finally assembled 1 of the 2 end tables that will shoulder my 'MINI Loveseat'!

The 'MINI Loveseat' and 'MINI End Table' project is finally wrapped up!

Now I know what to do with the racing tires I winter in the dinning room. .

Great pics in gallery. Maybe you could add some low watt lights under the wheels for night driving.

 

That end table is AMAZING!
You really need to send that in to Ready Made magazine!

Oooooh mood lighting.....such a grand idea!

Jeremy

 

I've never heard of Ready Made magazine. I'll take a look at the site-thanks.

Jeremy

 

thats bad ***. i might do this with my rear seat, since i dont want to sell them. LOL

 

Very nice work Jeremy. I have to say that is the only way I'd ever get in the back seat of a MINI.

Nice use for the boat anchors too.

 

Yes the S-lites may are close to being indestructible BUT they are indeed only good for anchoring a plump boat! A MINI on a reduced diet is a good good thing. My MINI's diet was nice for my living room to boot!

That looks soooo cool! We just did the RSD on my car, so I might have to consider making something like that. You can always use extra seating right?

 

I'd throw some cold cathodes or led's under the spokes to give it glow ...
check out Oznium.com for them

 

Very creative ! Instead of taking up space make use of them. That is the best use of the S " lites " I have ever seen .

 

im just posting to bump up my total posts.
