Here's a few pictures, if there's anything more specific you want taking, just let me know.

Ill be making something similar in the near future and this is how i envisage doing my seat base. The one thing i haven't figured out yet is do you weld the nuts on to the top of the aluminium, glue foam on top, shape, then have the entire thing upholstered (including the underneath side) and then cut holes for access to the nuts? Or does the upholster leave holes in the material for the fixings?

I've had the pan powder coated black so that the underside doesn't need to be upholstered and you have access to the bolts. I will be bolting all the electrical items to the underside of the pan anyway

Yes it is yozzer. It keeps changing a little every time I see one of the excellent builds on here yours included. But that's the look.
