Bent seat frame center
I wonder. If you straighten the brackets, can you sell the non original seats and get a few bucks which would let you buy the needed cross members? You already have seats, and the foam, webbing, and covers are all available new if you decide to refurbish them.
I saw the car on BAT, the paint looked very good. There were some bodges, like the windscreen washer bottle, the restrictive foam air filters (noticed that the engine had partially sucked in the foam element, which tells me they are choking the engine), and a few other odds and ends.
With the exception of the floors, looks like a decent 50 year old car.
Don't get discouraged, almost all the parts you need are available for semi-reasonable prices. Anything you can't find is available used, RedRacer on this forum has a barn full of new and used parts which he has been sourcing to JH owners.
I was pretty upset when I saw the state of my floors, but I got them replaced and have moved on. Hope you decide to do the same.
