Hey i was wondering if it's possible (anything is) or worth it to attempt to switch a fwd to an awd. i know you'd have to mess with a lot of stuff but i was just curious.

you need AWD front driveshafts, AWD transmission, AWD rear end, AWD rear subframe, AWD connecting driveshaft, AWD gas tank, AWD transfer case....plus you have to shim a mount where the rear subframe connects to the chassis. Makes for quite a job but my friend is wanting to sell an AWD conversion actually. I think $1000 outta do it but I'm not totally sure and all the parts have 30k on them. Just to be sure, we're talking about a 2g turbo manual trans correct? My friend has all the parts but the transmission.
