Are you missing the space inside or is it more like a Tardis? I did wonder about a Panda at one time but the boot lip put me off knowing what I have to get in it.
Whilst browsing a rolled/dented Qubo on eBay for bits, the scrap yard had a (newish) Panda 4x4 for breaking and I was tempted to do some measuring as I'd fancy making a Qubo into a 4x4. I think it had a 6-speed box but its the g/box and rear end that would need transplanting. Is it the same 1.3 MJ engine as we have? Wonder about the viability. Need lots of time and I couldn't use my Dualogic box
The new 500X is available with 4x4 now. Can't see why Fiat didn't call the 500L the 600 as it looks nothing like a 500 (quite ugly really but not in a Multipla way
)In the old days of the 'proper' 500 (upturned jelly-mould) the LWB version of that was called a 600 so it would seem appropriate to have done the same with the remodelled car. The 'X' version is a much nicer design than the straight 500L. I had one (L) as a hire car in Mallorca and it was very good for the 4 days and 500km we used it. Economy like the Fiorino.

Yes it's a little smaller but the biggest thing is the roof feels so low! Just liked to have the option to put a big hat on when driving!
same Diesel engine with a 5speed boxA 4x4 qubo would be a good idea! But it's based on the punto so the panda may be to small? But I don't have a clue about oily bits!

I thought about 4x4-ing a qubo. I recon a 1.3 4x4 gearbox and transfer would just bolt on. Rear axle could be from a Sedici? But with Panda rear diff for ratio sake, plus rear drive shafts might need sedici for length but panda for flange....
Then there's the 1.2 Panda viscous coupling to fit, prop shaft supports and exhaust re-route, not to mention a new fuel Tank?
Sounds straight forward initially, and then..............
