Ceras Victoria (Honda Prelude), Salvage (Part II)

As mentioned in Ceras Victoria, Salvage (Part I) I mentioned that I was unable to remove the passenger front seat.

Here's why:
























As you can see, the bottom part of the rail lines up a bit too well with the top part and you can't get straight on the bolt.
To make matters worse you can't use a socket or a break bar, and 12 mm wrenches are rather small and dinky.
Also, as you may be able to tell (or for anyone who has been in a Prelude and in the rear seats) there is not a lot of room between the front seats and the back, so no leverage and no room or decent position to apply torque from.

12 mm box end wrench and a 1" x 12" piece of pipe:


Little bit of effort, and a lot of repositioning the wrench, as it is not a ratcheting one, and... seat out:
























The front seats for this car are rather comfortable, as are the back seats. The idea is that eventually my fiancée and I will make these into chairs or couches or something.
