Mate I have a brand new Autotech reclining seat that you could have for about $120 ish if you want to look into freight from Uralla NSW. I brought a pair for my ps3 they were $500 a pair marked down to $300 :D.

Sorry Guys I will try and get some pics up tomorrow, been busy with study.

The above cockpit just the frame alone would be about $200 plus the seat plus about $400 for the G25 steering wheel combo.

This is the reason I am building one myself, for about $50 of steel :D. Trouble is I have got to find time, started the job 10 months ago then I brought the lancer so it has been on the back burner.
