    Hey guys, I am thinking about doing a AWD set up on the coupe. The engine that is going in the car is MKIII 3.0L VR6T that is fully built!

    Here is the car...

    I am looking to buy a whole R32 shell that also includes:

    -linkage & shifter
    -4 ABS Sensors
    -ABS Control Module
    -ESP Control Module
    -The two Combination Sensors (Accelerometers)
    -Steering Angle Sensor
    -Undamaged rear floor pan (salvaged title on shell)
    -Drive shaft
    -Rear end w/ suspension, diff, controller, brake lines, etc.
    -Exhaust w/ cats
    -Gas Tank w/ evap
    -Fuel pump and sending unit
    -Heat shields
    -O2M transmission


    I have no problem doing all of the sheet metal work on the rear. What I am concerned about is what electrical work am I going to need to make the haldex work???

    Any idea's would help!!!!
