I think a good place to start is by getting a hold of the non 60/40 seat. The flat bench style one. I had one for years with the intent of doing something but eventually tossed it out.

What some have done in the past,is to pull the cushion off that bench seat, revealing just the frame. Then you have a frame that you can bolt onto the Yaris, allowing for a foundation on where to start. Others have then used plywood or similar to lay down flat back there, and built up from there.

110% that seat frame makes for a GREAT platform to work from even if you have welding skills, it gives you 4 of the factory bolt down points to work off of

it should also be noted that both the 2dr and the 5dr use the same frame and seat, or atleast the 07s do, as ive got one from a 2dr 07 and the OE one from our 5dr

your "rear" connection point should be the upright half of the seats rear bolt

bonus of getting a spare seat frame is you can swap from platform to seat in under 5 mins should you need the seating back..it should also be noted that the 3+ inches of height of the flat bench rear swapped for a flat surface actualy nets you something like 3-4 cubic feet of cargo space
