Chair Watch

So, this chair project of mine.
The base is assembled by me from components I sourced individually, the wheels are from one site, the base from another, the pneumatic cylinder from another. The seat is from a BMW e46 M3. Recently I've discovered it's from a wrecked one, so in the accident the frame was bent a few degrees. So I'm tasked with tearing it down, probably cleaning it, and reassembling it after straightening the frame. The seat rails will be removed, and L-channel steel will be put in its place to move the base inside the seats dimensions and make it smaller. Then it'll be mounted to a 1/8th thick plate of steel that it is mounted to the chairs base mounting plate. That's the plan thus far.
