Would it be possible to buy this kit which includes front clip and rear clip and install the rear onto a ST204 GT-S ? Would the rear subframe and gearbox differential fit onto my current frame (if i remove the gaz tank) ? Or it would require major work to the chassis?

And what about the driveshaft?

I searched on the database but mostly found front end conversion... and the only owner of a converted to AWD here that i've found is celiman05 and he havent logged in since august 2008!

sorry joe, but the diy mechanic cant weld as well as the robots that do the precision welding on oem frames (oem doesnt trust humans to do it).
i know jimbo has done a bunch of these types of projects on hotrods, but dealing with a unibody is very different from a hot rod that has a separate body and frame.

can this be done? yes
has it been done? yes

but you have to ask yourself, if one of your welds was to fail, would you rather it just fail at where the diff mounts to the body, or would you rather have the rear end of your car, along with the rear wheels, just completely fly off the back of your car?

Anyway, this is all just me being an internet mechanic. I personally dont think i would have the skill to pull something like this off, nor would I want to risk possible permanent damage to my car. its much easier to buy yourself a 5th gen alltrac, and teach yourself to learn to love it.
