Well, I was low on money, didn't know how to fiberglass and didn't have a welder, so I decided to make a seat out of wood. Here's some pics:





It is all made of wood except for the rounded parts which I used a two liter soda bottle for, and of course the cushion. Then I coated the plywood in bondo, in retrospect I would have used a smoother wood but it turned out well. Cheers!

looks good pablo... you can buy a fiberglass repair kit (it will have instructions) and give it a skin coat to really smooth it out and seal it
