Yes, Just swap the last section over, you will need a different donut though, give me a shout with the drive flange sizes when you are ready.
Yes, you could source everything in one hit with a Passat VR6 Syncro, you would need to use the Golf front subframe & steering rack (unless you wanted a wide track front?) and shorten or swap the propshaft as the Passat one is too long, also the handbrake cables would need changing for the Golf Syncro ones, other than that though you should be fine.
The 2wd rear discs are totally different & wont fit the Syncro.
The VR6 gearbox (transfer box) is only compatable with the VR6 rear diff.
The Passat rear diff is identical to the Golf one, I am running one on mine, the VC unit had larger diameter drive lugs & that is the only difference
The rear subframe is interchangable between the Golf 2, Golf 3, & Passat 35i al long as you use the correct side mounting brackets,
its the triangular swing arms that control the track, have a look here [:p]http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/data/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=459
I have a wide track rear axle from a G3 VR6 Syncro fitted to my G2 (I swapped the 6 pot diff for a 4 cylinder one)

I thought he might, they are very addictive little cars are these! [
]I can vouch that it is the correct box for your carm as its the only one ever fitted to a Golf 2 Syncro, the injection version has a catalytic converter fitted in its place, for the rest of the system back try here
http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/data/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=506Actually there were no Official VW Golf 3 Syncro UK imports, so the Golf 3 spares are a bit scarcer than the Golf 2 syncro however the 3 Syncro parts are mostly compatable with the Golf 2 Syncro, and also the Passat 35i Syncro parts are mostly the same as well, so you can get most things.
