Anyone got series 1 door tops?? 80 windscreen??

this is the conventional way of making the rear chassie join the rear cross member. Watch out for the next picture

So this is my new way of making the chassie look more like a series 1. I want this little car to look as much like a series 1 as possible.

Having a problem...............
Trying to fit 300tdi defender short bell housing LT77 and at least a 15inch back prop shaft and a 3inch radiator into a set back front set back 80 this does NOT FIT  I heard that a P38 diff is shorter can anyone tell me by how much it is shorter?
If I can not get this to work has anyone got a series 3 box not very keen on using this as the gearing is to high making me change both diffs 

After much measuring 14 1/2 inch prop shaft, defender LT77 and a 300TDI leaves me 6 1/2 inches to fit a radiator, electric fan and 2 head light bowls behide the front grill (possible?)

managed to get the 300TDI onto the LT77 lowered it into the chassie and now bolted it to the propshaft, so far it all looks well won't know if it all fits untill I get the front panel and radiator in 
It even looks like the gear stick will be in  the correct place

I have decided that I am going to keep stumpy 2 3.9 and auto for the timed trials even thou little stumpy has won 2 timed trials now it is to sore on the car, so stumpy 2 my daughters have renamed it Hovis which I am painting cockpit green. I have made tonight a light behide thr grill front panel

[attachment deleted by admin]

I had to make the light behide the grill front panel as these are very rare and hold their money well!!! If I want to paint it light green this is the front panel I need to have, It also gives me more problems so engeine needs to be moved back as it hits the grill not much chance of getting lights behide the grill lol I am looking for a lights through the grill and a full lights behide the grill just in case any one has one, anyone??
