Hello All,
Having owned a number of Fiats of the Uno and Panda variety I noticed that a number of parts are interchangeable. To an extent. As well as being into fiats, Off-Roading is a rather interesting pasttime of mine. This got me thinking...
The Panda 4x4 is cute, a little bit fun off-road, and is light enough to be pulled out of muddy trouble by a couple of reasonably sized fellows. Back to interchangability; what if a Uno engine were to make its way under the Panda 4x4's bonnet. What if the engine was the 1.3/1.4 turbo...
Comedy moments would surely follow.
Failing a straight engine swap, there might be the possibility of attaching the the Uno turbo's engine and gearbox to the Panda 4x4's transfer case. The gearing would most likely be horribly wrong, but it could be fun.
I was just wondering if anyone had come across any such crazy machines, or if the theory is so horribly flawed that it wouldn't even get off the ground. So to speak.
P.S. - Somebody did mention to me that the Panda 4x4's poor little drive shafts might not like too much power. And might break...
