Question Removing rusted seats

Hello all, wanted to pick your collective brains on an issue I hit while stripping my 1980 911 SC down. Long story short, I’m trying to remove the seats from the car however both seats are completely jammed due to extensive rust which means I can’t move them on the rails. I am able to get the front bolts out and am just trying to figure out how to remove the rear ones as the seats are covering them (or generally extract the seats without damaging the rest of the body ideally). Anyway, just something I ran into yesterday at the end of a stripping session (!) and thought I’d sleep on it before attempting again and solicit some ideas from people smarter than me.. .

I think at this point your only option would be to grind off the heads on the remaining
Allen bolts with an air tool and a burr , providing you have enough access ... the threaded backing plates are expendable !
