I have noticed a squeek that my car made when i sat in the driver seat since i got it. Today i looked under the driveseat and saw a crack. When i pressed down on the seat the crack got wider. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

You can try and weld a patch in, that would probably be the easiest thing to do

My 83 is more than a crack lol. The back left corner of the seat is sunk down because its so bad. Its not a daily driver so its not a problem just yet but I have a old license plate wedged under it until I get the time to pull the seat and fix the rusted out areas.
