1973 car seat

[el torro]

when in getting seat upholstered it was found frame had been badly repaired in distant past now has given way at bottom,both sides,is this a common problem?,frame is being shot blasted then I think it needs some fabrication work,one more step backwards in restoration list

Probably if the car floor was wet they bottom frames would rust

It's just mild steel with, quick welds or brazing. We have old Porsches do the same thing. People don't think about it but seats take beating. Clean, repair..........done.

I think the best way is shot blast frame cut out rot , fabricate new parts , weld and go,budget takes another hit??
