    County with serie 3 firewall?

    I have sold off some bits of my County but I am thinking of rebuilding it.
    One possibility would be to use a series 3 firewall. OK it may need some work to fit around the V8. Would the steering fit & is it the same height, as I still have the windscreen. I'm assuming I'd need the series instrument cluster too.
    Anything I've forgotten?

    The things that I can think of off the top of my head are:

    Hump size. The V8 is ok, its the transmission that needs to be cleared
    Mating to the floor panels
    Steering column should come across ok
    Different bonnet mount
    Different Windscreen mount and the series indscreen is a different shape at the top also where it joins to the roof.
    I think the door hinges are the same
    I think the pedals come across - may just hinge differently
    Accellerator pedal cable may be different in how it connects to the pedal
    Cheers
