Hello I just found this community,  
I have a question I have a 1970 Mini that I would like to convert and was wondering what you think about using a Nissan Leaf as a donor car, mostly for the batteries. The Leaf’s batteries would help me keep some of the space in the Mini.

I found a Leaf here on this site erepairables  
Please advice  
Thanks  
ErikG

I believe it would be mostly a direct swap assuming none of the batteries are busted and everything is in good condition 🙂
