Anything is "possible" but the expense would not justify it.

You would need to buy an AWD trans, front differential, the three driveshafts, new hub carriers, struts and mounts, and so on.

Even then it is a 'marginal' AWD system in terms of power distribution and time in use.

If you want an AWD car, sell your C2 and buy one.

If you really want AWD it would probably be easiest/less expensive to sell your car and buy an AWD car.

You would also need a new front clip as the basic pan at the front is different to accommodate the front differential, and a different transmission to have the front drive take off, etc. etc. etc. you could probably buy a couple C4's four what it would cost to do a conversion. Or a 996TT.

AWD back to RWD...

I just removed my AWD front diff, drive shaft for an RWD set up. I have the front diff, drive shaft and axles (front axles are missing the CV joint) for sale.
