Rebuilding seat base - Broken springs

The springs on my driver side seat are stretched out and broken. Anyone have some ideas about how to fix them? Otherwise the seats are prefect and I don’t want to replace them.
I have attached a few pictures outlining the problem.

Thanks

An auto upholstry shop may have springs, ohterwise pick up another seat for parts. Iirc, you will need to remove the cover and padding to replace the spring.
