Low on power, but you are planning a light weight car lighter than the donor.
rear engine, light weight, front suspension could be used. pukker

Id imagine having no differential in the rear axle will make cornering a problem and shorten tyre life considerable. Land Rover experts may correct me
here but it is not recommended driving on roads with the diffs locked - off road only.
It looks like your plans to use a Kadette as the donor are where your problems lie. That is a big car in comparison to a 200Kg bond bug replica. Id
suggest finding a far lighter donor first that could be used complete - ie something with a small light weight diff and axle. Im no expert so cant
think of one off hand - especially available in your part of europe.
What about front wheel drive??
The land rover thing is the centre diff, if you lock that you really are trying to tie the treansmission in knots.
On a very light car a locked rear diff is not such an issue (will still be very "different" to drive though)
I would recommend the first drawing, with chain drive to a solid axle, but use a motorbike engine of some sort.
I was tinking about the motobcikle engen but i dont knove how to make make teh tranzmicon stick hoe do i konekt the gear box to the gir stIck ??? CAnt figer that out am i stupid and The kadett c is 700kg hevy
gearshift is very easy for the bike engine, just has to push and pull.
If you get an engine it will be very easy to see how to do it.
The kadett gearbox is harder to do than the bike one for this.
I knowe how to driwe a bike but how do i make it izzy to sift it will im syting in the car ??
why not use the old fiat 126 as a donor, was sold on to FSO ans remained in production for some time after fiat stopped making it.

Just have a look at the many bike engine cars on here for inspiration, you just connect the shift rod to a lever instead of a pedal.
the way i see it if i get the point with the bike engen am i right and ihe gray thing is the engen laying horizontali
Why would you want to lay the engine down? 
You just need to make up a lever to fit where the normal foot operated one is (easiest to modify the existing lever), which allows you to connect to
the gear shifter next to you via a rigid link. You dont need a spring either. About the most simple gear shift mechanism there is....
