I'm with the other guys on this one being a Fiat guy from way back. Don't wreck a Bambino like that. Maybe convert it to an Arbarth copy with fat rubber but don't cut it up. Doubt there would be much left anyway. The front end runs a transverse leaf spring set up so removing all that and getting the 4wD stuff in wouldn't leave much car.

Sounds like a wicked project however but why not destroy a Niki. No one cares about them and they are essentially a "modern" Bambino anyway.

My pet idea that I may or may not ever get around to is a mid mounted RWD 4AGE turbo powered Niki for the drag strip.

In RWD form only you'd get it to work easier as you are just relocating the drivetrain towards the back but the orientation is still the same as if it's up front. To get it to run back to front you'd need to look at a different transaxle set up not likely. Not sure though as haven't seenteh orinetation of the Suzuki.

I know some mates built a gymkhana 126 hatch years ago with a larger 128 based motor. Had to get different starter, new cam machined 180 degrees out etc as they face the opposite way and it was the easiest way to get it to work. Esentially we made the motor run the opposite direction.
