cwhelan Regular Location: Adelaide, Semaphore Registered: September 2004	Re: Fiat bambina with Suzuki Alto works 4wd turbo running gear Tue, 17 May 2005 13:13 I rang Graeme Burton from Tonkin Consulting (Automotive engineers in Wayville, Adelaide, 82733100). I had a good chat with him about the idea of what the options are. He was very interested in both my idea's, I was told that both are very achievable. He was very informative and said that graphing the Bambina body on the Suzuki Alto pan with all the running gear at the ready would be the easiest option, as it will just be a case of cut and shut. He is looking forward to the project to be underway and he will check it and give me advice on the way. The advantage is that there won't have to be any mechanical modifications as such. Has anyone else here cut a body off a car before? I have done a few flip front modifications on mini's and strengthened the front sub chassis. I guess it is a matter of getting into it all with an angle grinder and seeing what fits where... I just don't know what to expect when cutting a body off of a pan and getting a donor pan ready. I'm not sure how I would go about making longer "A-arms" and longer drive shafts. I have 250mm on each side to make up for, so that already is a fair size task. This I will be interested in hearing what to look for. 50mm wheelbase difference will be an easy one to over come as a prop shaft will be easy to get made up. The other option is to fit all this into a bambi and go hydraulic drive.?? [Report message to a moderator]
