he will be able to use the 4wd train off the running gear of pretty much any vag motor if he has enough know how and the place to do it. I.E> could hunt down a R32 rip that apart and use that, or a 4 motion, anything like that. I would go for it, but don't set a deadline that way you cannot get so easily stressed and/or bored.
