i already sanded...

any metal on the car is ok to ground to kuz it is all a ground just double and triple check that nothing is under the spot, and sand paint off as u have then use a self tapping screw with a star washer under the ring terminal and screw it in.

Looks like a nice place. I myself now always run a full ground back to the battery, but in the past have used places like such. i say go for it.

lift that carpet up a little more and see if you cant find some sort of bolt in that vicinity. its much easier and safer to use a stock bolt than a hole you are drilling.

yeah, i usually use a bolt for a seat. there are random bolts around that you can probably use somewhere close by.
