crowie the seat is just leftover parts from two different builds.
The backrest is a radiator grill from ??? and the seat again???
Could be things I tried that didn't work but kept them for something like this.
When I make these small parts I glue them up big and cut them down to save my fingers but it also leaves me with interesting parts for other models.
I went walk about and found the parts.
The back rest came from here.

The lower seat came from here.

Had a design flaw so had to back up a bit but it's all fixed now and on the right track.
Crowie the back door and the grill on top of that are more leftover parts from other builds and so is the roof. lol
You could call this a junk yard build.

You got it Peter!!!
I at first didn't see the need for the back inside support for the arm but it is needed to add space for the arm brace to move up and down without hitting the cage.
I could have left off the inside arm brace but I would always know it was wrong soooo,cut cut hammer hammer.

Could do it the way Bruce has described for us in this thread I think. Very smart idea and simple to achieve.

Certainly a lot of work gone into those tyres and wheels. Always good to see your inventiveness.

Thanks crowie and all, I need to go back to building my models bigger and I keep telling myself that because they're so much easier to make the small parts when their bigger. LOL
Does that make any sense.
I just counted and I've made 24 toys and models over the last what year and a half, that's why I like making them smaller but it really takes the fun out of it when I'm struggling with them there small parts..
