Purchased the Seats

Went to the local auto junk yard this weekend in search of some seats for the sim.  What I wanted was two seats with at least one arm rest.  I really wanted leather but would settle for cloth.

When I walked in, I was asked what make, model and year vehicle I need the seats for.  He gave me a funny look when I said it didn't matter, I was building chairs out of them.  I didn't explain they would be seats for a home cockpit!

After walking around for about two hours, I had my choices down to two.  A Fiat 500 and a 2006 Buick Terraza.  The Fiat seats were small, very comfortable and in great condition.  The car had pretty bad front end damage.  These seats had a lever you push to slowly move the seat forward and backward.  I thought that could have been handy.  Only thing they didn't have arm rests, there isn't room for them in that little car.

I decided on the Buick's 2nd row seats.  Not sure why the vehicle was in the junk yard, no signs of being in a crash at all.  All the windows were rolled up so didn't have any weather damage inside, good for the seats I wanted.  They were leather and in great shape.  Each had one arm rest and light grey color.  The passenger side had a very small hole in it, but nothing to be concerned about.  All the mechanics seem to work.  The seat slides front and back and reclines nicely.

Obviously the cup holders will have to go for the center pedestal.  Not a bad find for 150 bucks.
