hey guys
as I am getting closer to making my own seat pan and seat cushion, I have started to scour the local foam shops and the prices have been outrageous by my standards. 1 inch thick foam for enough that should cover the length of a normal seat runs about 56 dollars...havent found anywhere that has some scrap lying out back and are willing to part with for cheap.
so my question is should/could I be able to use the foam from the original seat? the foam seems to be in decent shape besides a few areas where the weather has got access to the foam and seems to have discolored and created some slight deterioration. I don't want to make a mess of the original seat but it is not in the best shape and was looking to keep (more likely sell) the seat
here is a couple pics of the seat...hope you can see the condition of the foam, ill post better pics if required
any input is appreciated!
