Aren't those EK3 seat? I Thought the EK4's had the headrest in the back as well. But it looks good and is coming along nicely. Kinda in the same process with my hatch.

there is a raised portion, on the radiator support, that i've used to jack my cars up from the front for years. none of us have ever had an issue with it. no damage. no bends.
