If anyone has any ideas to make 2000 golf all wheel drive let me no. I was thinking subframe and trani swap out of passat or 1.8 t Audi tt.

Be easier to get an R32. Or use one as a donor (only if you can find a wrecked one). Passats and audi's are usually not transverse.

believe you ll have to do a tunnel swap as well and shallower trunk. LOTS of welding. buy an early 2000 audi. extremely cheaper.

AWD conversion is possible but, it is very costly and will require a ton welding to modify the floor pan. I have to agree if AWD is a must, look at an older B5 Audi A4 you can get a 1.8T that is quattro or of course the Mk4 R32 AWD 3.2L VR6 :drool:

If you search vortex you might find some similar projects and get an idea of what an under taking it is.

Buy an A4 and put a Golf badge on it?

This is far more work than worth, esp when a model/models exist on your same platform that already have it.

I agree. Not worth all the fab and parting that would have to go into it. I would just get an R32. You would probably spend as much on the build as it would take to just buy the R32.

Well I am just wanting to build something no one has done. So I really want to keep to the 2.0. What about rear subframe out of r32 and trani out of 1.8 quato and have custom drive line made

Anything is possible. I remember a wrx powered awd rabbit in PVW once. That looked badass!
