I have all the parts spare to do 4x4 stuff, but it is a major undertaking especial on a RHD car as the transfer box & prop encroaches on the drivers side compartment.



I would build a mock up of the front frame area and see how the diff, shafts, rack, hubs, suspension, etc go together. If you get a good solution then work on from there.

Remember that the 4x4 front geometry is different to the 2wd so you will have to try and tweek that too.
