Although this isn't really a build thread I have some updates on my own awd conversion
Have haldex mount and rear o2m mount coming from Europe (couldn't pass up a deal for things I would need eventually).
Also, bought an eastwood powder coater and a ****ton of powdercoat for little brackets (toaster oven or less in size).
Finally, I am still having trouble sourcing a reasonably priced rear pinion carrier casing that is damaged on my o2m. Might go ghetto on it and use JB weld just to stay on budget.
I have three key things left:
1. Front o2m mount ( hoping to order this from sdezego in the next couple weeks)
2. Clutch, flywheel etc
3. Shortening o2m axles (this is going to be impossible to get done reasonably locally, does anyone have any suggestions of where to send them out? I could get tig welding done for me, but I'm clueless on the process of shortening the axles properly.

Updated the front page with some more up to date info.
In other news- managed to source a rear pinion carrier.

If I have been reading correctly can't you just use the 4x100 outer cv and not have to change the hub at all? I haven't looked into it too much but it is crunch time for me to figure my **** out.

I'm not talking about shortening of the driveshafts, Im curious about the hub combinations and interchangeability using the o2m driveshaft. From what I have read so far I am using:
Shortened O2M driveshafts, o2m innter CV, 4x100 spindles/hub, G60 outer CV.
But I haven't looked at the physical pieces to know if it works. All I know is I need narrow track and 4x100 to keep my borbets.
So the easiest thing to do then would be to have my g60 30 tooth splines machined to the o2m 32?

Damn, never even really thought of that. Sucks that all the machine shops in my area are either incompetent or expensive as ****. I think that welding and redrilling hubs would be a lot easier to get done then resplining. Too bad no one sells blank vr hubs... or that adaptec doesn't make dual pattern big spline hubs.

Props to shawn and his mounts! They fit perfectly and are well made.
I prefer his style to the dutch dub mount because it also mounts to the side of the transmission casing.
This is why more Corrado owners should consider AWD:
