i don't think theirs much floor difference between the 2, i've looked on vadis & both diagrams are the same but do have different part numbers for some things within the floor pan. The AWD also has a difference fuel tank set-up & uses 2 smaller tanks

i did think about converting BT to an AWD (as they never did a 854 AWD) but thought it would be a lot of hassle

i'd of thought you'd be better off getting another T-5 front-end & mounting the subframe/engine/running gear in the back. 2 x T-5 engines, AWD but both running seperate, & being really clever you could turn the front engine off & leave it in neutral if you wanted to have a play in a RWD

yeah i will take the rack out of the rear and put sone rose jointed rods in so i will have ajustible toe in/out on the back and as i will have front set up at the back i can get coilovers all round the hardest think i can see at the mo is the gear linkige
