So i started to unscrew everything and dismantle the drum.
After that, i took the heat gun to remove the glued foil.
A lot of scrws but that step was pretty simple

I took some spruce wood and cut it to fit as seat and backrest.
When it fitted, i screwed both parts on the drum and covered thescrewholes with woodpaste
Armrests

I took a smaller drum and cut out the armrests. then i screwed the mounts again on the drum to see if it fits, now i can change the armrest to fit perfectly
Foam for Seat and Backrest

I took again two pieces of spruce wood and cut out again the back rest and seatplate.
After that i glewed on some foam and cutted it until it fitted the size of the sprucewood.
I added some srews so i could fix it easily tothe main body
Upholster

This step was my first time that i took faux leather for upholster
i cutted the leather and stretched and fixed it on the backside of the sprucewood with a stapler
