Default Repairing Driver Seat Pan

When I got my 93 Coupe earlier this year I discovered that the plastic pan under the drivers seat was cracked from the previous owner pushing on the back to get out of car. I removed the seat and had a metal gusset made with a rolled lip on the top to go over the plastic pan and then down the side of the pan on the out side. This peice was about 8 to 10 inches long and formed to fit the outside of the plastic seat pan between the seat and door frame. Now I mixed up some good quality epoxy ruffed up the surface of the gusset and plastic and epoxied them to gether. Seat was fixed and with a little black paint I defy anyone to to tell it from the original. I apoligize if this should have been posted in General Discussion :o

Cool story!

Thanks for sharing!

I had my first experience working with epoxy this summer installing new hardware on my boat. That is some really cool stuff!
