Sport seat repair.Please help.

[a3ternus]

Well,I recently got my hands on sport seats (finally),
but one of the front seats is broken as you can see
in the attached photos.





My thought it to weld it back together adding a
metal tab just to make it somewhat stronger
plus maybe weld a horizontal metal joint under
the broken part just to re enforce it more.

Apart from this the metal frame of the seat is
somehow twisted due to the excessive force
applied on the upper right corner.I guess this is
not a major problem,right?

What would you do?

If it's twisted AND broken Id replace the frame. I'm not sure about Greece, but here there are a lot of worn out sport seats with decent frames. Finding good fabric or leather is the challenge

if the seat bottom is twisted and as a result broke the frame I would say it is done. really difficult to try and straighten it. and it will never be the same. the work involved to fix isn't worth the time trying to save a few bucks. in the long run you're better off getting another. Get a new seat bottom; easy enough to acquire. yours looks to be a late model frame. Make sure you match the frame bottom. I ran into thinking they are all the same and they aren't. slight difference in design. typical square head thinking. the key areas to look for are the track height, the front adjuster arms (holes are different for the pins) and the length of the arms.
