Yup.  Although someone had once built a Scirocco with 4Kq underpinnings.
I don't know the specifics, but I guess if you're crazy enough it's
possible.

However, if you want an AWD cabriolet, a much more sensible (if you
could call it that) way to go about it is to modify the rear
floorpan/suspension to accept the Golf Syncro bits.  The front end
should require only minimal mods.
