Moving the seat would be very difficult on this phaeton. I looked into it on mine, because I am almost 2 m tall.

You can get a bottom seat spring from Snyder's that is specially made thinner than stock, so that you sit a little lower in the car. That will help.

Instead of using back cushion seat springs on his phaeton, my Dad used a piece of plywood with a slab of furniture upholstery foam attached to it. He put a thin layer of cotton batting over that and then stretched the upholstery over that, pulling it tight (staple to back side of plywood). This has you sitting a couple of inches further back on the seat, away from the steering wheel and foot controls.

My Dad also bent the gear shift lever away from him a few inches (heat it locally with a torch and then push) to open up leg room.

HTH.
