Thinnest padded seats are the binbag+urathane foam ones racers use. Very confortable (exact fit) but a not pretty. Also very cheap
This site tells you how:

Most people don't bother with the seat base he uses.

i was thinking off cuting up the main frame and makeing it a bit wider to fit some normall bucket seat in do you no any one that might have done any thing like this or any thing along these lines thanks for your help
The width is limited a bit by the use of the Mini driveshaft components at the back, and it would look a little strange at the front if the wheels didn't line up.
One thing to bear in mind if you are only thinking about widening the cage in the middle is the sloping sides that go in to the front allow for the tie bars for the front wheels and also the correct spaceing for the wheels and wheel arches to be on full lock without rubbing.
you would probably be better off building from scratch than cutting it up and re welding it, what would you do about the front bulkheads?

I got mine looking like this already by the previous owner so I can't say how easy it was etc.
