Yea, you wont find many of them here around, Im ocasionally looking around myself to see if there are any but nope, (yes, doing it also to feel myself more elite'ish , prideOfOwnership +10 :P)
In the same time UK have still have few of those for sale and some in really nice specs. Year ago I even saw another AWD for sale, so worth to be checking UK websites.
VRT might kill you, though
edit - to answer your actual question, as advices above - forget it. You literally need full donor car to do swap with all wiring, components etc (even radio unit, as its VIN locked)...
