Makes no financial sense
Now that makes me laugh, lets not go there. It is not really valid with projects.Looking at that list, if you are replacing the whole subframe won't it be complete with the gearbox driveshafts so it will be the six speed and it will connect to everything including the gear linkage so that it the easy bit. The T jet 1.4 comes in a few power ranges from 150-200, wonder what the actual differences are between the engine internals or just different turbo and intercooler and ECU management software. Off the top of my head wonder why the t jet engine ECU can't be used then I'm not sure how integrated the engine ECU is with the rest of the cars electronics.

I suppose it makes no financial sense and in many ways...just buy an A500. Guess that's not the point though with a project like this and the Panda had a number of positives, better steering, 5 doors, arguably better looking.
I've been told I'd need the Abarth engine, turbo and gearbox, driveshafts, subframe, entire front suspension and a few other bits and pieces. A custom intercooler/pipework, and a standalone ECU, wiring and mapping to run it all. Exhaust, suspension, probably clutch and gearbox. Quite a list!
