Default Turning Car-parts into furniture!

Anyone tried this? thinking of getting a nice set of car seats and getting them put together as a two seater for my spare bedroom which my girlfriend has allowed me to make into a "playroom"

i think it would be cool as i plan on using it for playing the xbox and listening to music!

Also any other ideas other than just seats

I'm wanting to go all out including model cars, star trek memoriabilia just everything i wanted as a kid but always ended up ruining!

I think Clarkson did something like that on Top Gear. IIRC it was a porsche engine in teh middle of 2 seats with glass covering as a table. It was really well done.

A guy at work (happens to be quite creative) turned a mazda RX-7 Wankel piston into a clock that now resides on his fireplace.

looks great

I've had an old RST Recaro sitting in my garden for ages. Keep meaning to make it into a computer chair.
Theres a nice table on ebay:
