    Find a good boat repair shop. I'll bet there are a few in a place called "Portland".

    You can also try any body shop that is familiar with repairing Corvettes. They would be able to do a fiberglass repair. That is an unusual kind of problem for a Delorean. Maybe there was a passenger that exceeded the weight limit? Another possibility is someone tried to jack the car up and did it in that spot.

    That's why you need the "No Fat Chicks" sticker on your car.

    actually that is not so hard to repair you know. is the crack between the mountingholes from the seat?
    If you can drill holes at the end of the cracs asap so they can not go any further. Remove the carpet also.

    I found a crack under my passenger seat when I bought my car. One of the easiest things I have ever repaired on the car. As said before just drill a hole at eitherbend of the crack and fibreglass over it.

    My crack is kinda long, it is from one seat bolt over to the outside edge and is the length of the seat.
    I have no idea how it got that bad without me noticing. I got the car like 3 months ago and did the whole fuel system and didn't notice a thing when I was under there.
