[Roadsters] Under dash work, seat removal

If I only knew how often I'd be taking out the seats over the years, I'd
have put in push-pins long ago.
Take out the driver seat, pull the clevis pins on the clutch/brake, tie
back the pedals, wear safety glasses as everything likes to fall right
in our eyes, and get one of those velcro strapped flashlites that straps
to your forehead.  (oh, and I now have a foam pad that sits in the
footwell area, next up: Barcalounger!)

Removing the wheel can help, but my a$$ is almost against the package
shelf, so I found leaving it on gave me a better handle to hoist myself
in/out, which happens often because at each step you realize all the
tools you forgot.
Center console out gives ya a good tool staging area, and more free
elbow room, and allows easier tracing of what wires are coming thru the
firewall and where they go (especially when banjaxed by the PO).
Good luck, stay limber!
