Cheers mate :)

Okay you will need to pop out the bottom part of the rear seat. Then undo the front seats via the 4 allen headed bolts on the rails. you will then need to take out the center console via the two rear screws or nuts (depending on the model) and then undo the front section/ radio surround (if i remeber correctly). Then undo the seat belts from the trans tunnel (these are 19mm bolts) and also the ones on the pillars (19mm too). Then finally pop up the sill covers and wallah, the carpet can be taken out :)

To put it back in is the reverse. Its easily a one person job and aslong as you take your time and think things through it can easily be doen in a day

I can tell that attention to detail is one of your strong points. I always believed that you can't polish a turd but you are starting to prove me wrong. BTW, how is the drivetrain holding up? Usually when you see a car treated like that by an owner you can be assured it isn't the best mechanically. I also agree on losing the SS spoiler..............real quick. I will give you $50.00 for the HD. $60.00 if it's an X2 (which it ain't)
