Just wondering if any W124 saloons have rear seats that fold. It would make the car properly practical for me if I could get some that are not fixed solid.

In absence of that I have seen "ski hatches" on modern cars. Would it be possible to just make a hole in the rather thin sheet metal where the arm rest folds down. That would atleast help the situation with tubing/piping/timbers I need to carry. I'm sure it is "technically" structural but can't see it making much difference to be honest.

Not possible because the fuel tank sits behind the rear seat bulkhead.
