I ran into the same problem with my father’s coupe. We’re both 6’1” and we couldn’t even drive it with the seat in the original position. We found a solution that gained a few inches of legroom without cutting anything. We made a 1” wood spacer that goes between the back of the seat base frame and the back of the slides. The front of the seat is left at the original height so it tilts the seat back a bit forward, allowing the seat to be moved further back in relation to the package tray. It puts the seat base even with the back edge of the seat riser sheet metal on the floor. Now it’s drivable but could be better. Next I’m going to tie down the seat back springs halfway with cable ties to gain another inch or two. The trouble with trying to get any further back is that the seat riser needs to be removed from the floor and moved back which leaves a void that needs to be filled. You’re a bit taller though so you may not have a choice.
