Sorry jacko,
can't help there, but no doubt it will go in with a bit of persuasion, go
for it mate,,,
Will the seats go in ????

As Taffy said in another post,,,,
the BINI is a replacement for the Metro,,
and we know the metro was a donor for the mini,,,

Now we are transplanting bits from the BINI,
There is a very long list of recalls and faults that come with this donor
car, be careful you don't fit inferior parts,
I don't want you to spoil your classic with poor quality bits,

I would sooner use a Honda Integra R as a donor car for parts to construct
an ulitmate Mini, then at least nothing will ever go wrong, and it helps out
the engineers in Swindon!

What have you got against Oxford then ?

Why not help out a local workforce that used to work on the rover lines as
well ?

Lets just quickly compare a 2004 Honda Accord to a 2004 Bini S.

http://www.internetautoguide.com/auto-recalls/67-int/2004/mini/cooper/s/index.html

1 Recall for the Cooper S.

http://www.internetautoguide.com/auto-recalls/67-int/2004/honda/accord/ex/index.html

6 for the Honda.

All new cars have recalls in their early years, Mini's are more publicised
as there are people like you who love to bash the Marque and the british
workforce.

The difference is ,, Honda recall vehicles to make adjustments or to fit a
part to prevent possible failure,
there for Honda QC the vehicle before the customer sits in it,
BMW and Bini on the other hand, wait for it to fail, then look at the global
impact, if its a local failure then its repaired in house by the dealer, if
the demand for the same part increases, then its recalled,
in effect the customer QCs his own vehicle,

Nothing wrong with Oxford but why line BMW's pockets with money when the
Honda Conversions are more closely related, what were Rovers in the 80's and
90's, rebadged Honda's for the most part and actualy not to unreliable cars
in many ways....

Hey Fritz,
What do you do, just make up sh.t as you type? No faults or recalls with
my modern mini. The only way to spoil an old mini, is to leave it as
is.....butt ugly.
