Hello,

I had cause to go to my local scrapyard today and whilst rummaging about I found a 3 door rover 220 GTI with a rather nice half leather interior.

If I got the right subframes, would they fit in a mini?

strangely enough i fitted some half leather rover 220 seats to my cooper at the weekend.

they do fit (obviously) but i ended up removing the rear brackets from the subframes and mounting the rear of the seats on a 75mm box section similar to the box section that is already in the mini to level the seats out.

Is there a guide written up on how to do this?
I have been given a full leather interior out of a tomcat so am very interested in how hard it is.
