RE: Fix the Ghetto Leaning Seat
yes.... I have fixed many.....the tack welds on the frame have broken loose and if it's been that way for a while like mine was the metal starts to crack too....you'll have to remove the seat and take it apart and remove the upholstry and weld it up....you'll need hog rings and hog ring pliers as the foam is usually held in places to the frame with those as mine was

depends!!!! if you've never used a mig welder before.....all the guys at my shop turn to me for welding because I've done alot of welding......so if you've never welded before then it may try your patience cause the key to welding is get proper penetration without burning through but mig welders are fairly easy to use

Is it possible to fix the "ghetto leaning" seat? I know foxes are notorious for this. Mine just so happens to be my drivers seat. Suggestions?
