More leg room in a Discovery II?

More leg room in a Discovery II?
After six months of research, I think I'm finally ready to jump into the Land Rover waters...I think. Found an 01 D2 in pretty good shape with all the cool stuff I'd want on it, recent head gasket, new cooling system, caring owner, etc.
Took it for a drive today (my first drive of a Discovery II) and found myself wishing the front seat would move a bit more rearward. Even at it's maximum distance back things are a little tight in the leg room department. I'm 6'-5" with a 33" inseam.
Has anyone ever tried relocating the seat to gain more space?

I have seen a thread in here before talking about seat modifications (of course I can't find it using the search feature). It had something to do with reversing the tracks so the seat will slide back farther -- you will lose some of the forward motion as a result of the mod. Here's a link to another website where someone tried it --http://www.landrovergeeks.com/repair/how-articles/modify-seating-gain-leg-room-land-rover-discovery
If you do it -- be sure to post some photos as I have been thinking of doing the same thing. Good luck.

I'm 6'2" with a 34 length jean. I understand the leg room in the D2 issue. I had heard something about reversing the seat tracks and I've considered trying it. I figure it's probably relatively straight forward. Another option is getting a set of racing seats. Summit makes seats for relatively cheap that look kinda nice.
Here's if you've got the black interior and you like fabric.
Here's if you've got black interior and you like pleather.
And here's if you've got tan interior. There's a different for the drivers in passengers side for this one.
I really like the look of the fabric seats, if I were getting some it would be them. And of course, there are more expensive options available, but those seem nice to me.
