Thread: 250/c4 in series

If you're not too concerned with keeping the original(ish) look, I'd use a defender bonet and radiator support. Just means you don't have to move gearbox back, keeping original length driveshafts. The short rear shaft was an issue when i changed to ute cab. The weight coming off the back wheels made the shaft bind up making a horible/scary noise when i braked hard or hit the wrong bump. The defender setup means you can put a full length radiator like the original xf falcon (with auto cooling tubes internal) without the steering box fowling it and they're not too expensive.
The only other issue is frying tyres and picking up the shattered pieces of discovery drivers when you leave them behind.

thanks for the pics. I think a column shifter is a top idea, I have always loved them. I am looking to get my hands on a ford 250 crossflow with a supra 5spd manual. I ended up selling the 250 and auto I had when we were moving house to a place with no shed or useable yard.
