Is V8's front end compatible with 5ktq?

[L DC]

Hi everyone?

Has anyone swaped the front end (bumper, fenders and hood)
of a 1990 Audi V8 into a 5KTQ?

Can it be done?

If so, I assume fenders, bumper and hood need to be swaped as a package to work? Does the front center support need also be swaped to work? If doable, is it plug and go or does it need any modification to the sheet metal on the 5KTQ

I own an '86 5KTQ and today I can across a 1990 V8 in same mactching color, pearl white.

The front end from that V8 would look nice in the 5KTQ.

Also, I've read somewhere about some people swapping the rear diff. from V8s into a 5KTQ. Can it really be done and if so can the whole thing be swapped, housing and everything or just the internals and what are the advantages?

Further more, the whole rear suspension (calipers, control arms, parking brake cables, springs, cross-member to which the diff. mounts) looks the same as that in the 5KTQ. Whith that in mind, does it share the same fuel tank? 

The instrument cluster lights on my 5KTQ are not lighting up. All the light outside work fine, including license plate light. Any it could be the instrument cluster light-relay which resides above the glove box. Does anyone know if this relay is specific to the 5KTQ or is it shared with the V8 and/or 200TQ or other models? If so, where is it located in non 5KTQ?

The V8 at the junkyard had a mere 130K, that's if the speedo works. It was junk apperantly because of a small fire on the rear of the head on driver's side. It was not a big fire but intense enough to melt about 2 inches off the edge of the head and surrounding plastics and hoses.

Also, the UFOs look in good shape, although someone had been looking at them as they were kind loose...that junk yard told me the price for rotors is between $10-$13, not bad since from what I hear they are quite pricy.

Regards to everyone and thanks in advance for your response.
