Mechanically not to difficult. Electrically a fecking nightmare of nightmare proportions inspired by Nightmare on Elm Street in its worst LSD induced nightmare.

Mechanically, swap out the whole back end. A new quattro 4/5 speed. Prop Shaft, rear diff to match tranny.

Electrically I not sure but it may be a new loom or it might just be a matching TCU!

Ian will know. He knows everything cause he's an 8 god......
