Making a car bucket seat out of black diolen questions

I have a mould of a car bucket seat id like to use, just wondering howamy layers of 200g black diolen twill would be needed and any core material? Ie coremat?

Would polyester resin and diolen be strong enough for a bucket seat?

I'm guessing yes as bucket seats are made from fiberglass sometimes just wondering if you can advise me on how many layers/what core to use basically

Thanks

Forgot to add earler, there's a book here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Composite-Matrials-Fabrication-Garage/dp/1929133936/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0TBECMTZFPERR5VWZ66J that shows how to do a CF seat but could be adapted for Diolen with a few extra layers
