i agree with the long term part
plus the trouble would outweigh the benefit and cost of actually doing it id say.

It's only a car. Bit of cutting and welding would do the job.

Used 4x4 system from Calibra Turbo.
Increased front track with of corsa so that it is the same as the calibras. (as using calibra driveshafts all round)
Removed steering rack & refitted 30mm higher up bulkhead so as to clear transferbox. Still very tight though.
Fabricated new lower crossmember to accept rear gearbox mount.
Rear- cut original corsa floor pan out to behind front seats. Weld in Calibra floor pan to mount original calibra independant rear suspension & diff. Petrol tank fabricated in boot.
Prop shaft shortened by 180mm. (taken from the the third section of the shaft at the rear diff end).
It is possible to do, but involves a lot of time to make parts, fit them, remove them, modifiy them then refit them etc.
I am halfway threw this on a mates and we probably wouldn't try another one. Work has stopped as he bought a house and got married but as soon as hes back in the money  work will begin again.
Will try and get some photos for you..........
