Now I'm a tad confused, I may have used the wrong names for things. I am wondering if I can remove the rear tub with the bit the seats bolt to

you have an inner sill rear tub bolts to, the outer front tub mounts on the chassis, plus 2 inner front tub mounts, seat box can remain sercured to the tub for removal

Have a look at my thread here, a lot of images of the tub/seat box off sitting in bits and the general makeup of the body. You will soon have it worked out when you see the pictures.

Consider also that once you've got the bolts out the sill area ( horrible, rusty bolts) that you have to remove ,there's only a few more to remove (that are usually rust free) to release the seat box.
