Oh dear. I hope he's moved out!
Good to see you're making progress, though.
As a matter of interest, how did you remove that rear seat? I had a brief look with a torch at mine earlier and couldn't see anything obvious inside because someone suggested it'd be a good place to hunt for a broadcast sheet?

As far as I know you just pull up on the bottom front edge of the bottom part of the seat - it's not fixed in place with any screws. Then when that part is out you can lift the back part up, as it's located on sheet metal tags which are part of the bracing behind the seat.
At least that's how our b-bodies are done

The lower part of the seat is held in by hooks on the floor, one on each side. You have to push/kick it rearwards to disengage it and it will then lift right out.
