I have seen one done serveral years ago using the Mi16x4 setup it also retained the Mi16x4 self leveling rear suspention.
the fabrication involved didn't actually look to bad as size wise the 306 floor pan isn't a million miles away from the 405 unlike the 205 where you have to either shorten the beam by 100mm of have a dimma kit to cover the wheels
there has been a lot of people using the 4x4 system from the 405 in 205's
405 transfer boxs - 3 different ones available.
GLx4/Bx = Cable operated diff lock mechanism
Mi16x4 = Limited slip diff
T16 = same as Mi16x4 but with a different final drive ratio
Splined input shaft is the same on all.
The weak point is the splined input shaft not because of a poor design (they are actually very well engineered) but because they are not sealed. They go rusty and then slip making a horendous noise.
The GLx4 and Mi16x4 share many parts, other than the centre diff. The T16 however, has many uprated parts, designed to take the extra power. So much so, that Peugeot even changed the output ratio so it won't match the rear diff input. Thus you can't match a T16 transfer box to an Mi16x4 rear diff.
Your can uprated T16 bits here:

Whether or not they're compatible with Mi16x4 I'm not sure.
as for getting any of this working with a GTI6 you would have to loose the 6 speed box and you need to grind down some of the webbing on the rear of the engine block so the transfer box can sit there.
IMHO I wouldn't bother by the time you have done all this work it will be slower that a standard GTI6 with all the extra weight and won't nessasarily be any better to drive and you may as well have bought a Subaru or Evo with what it's cost to do..
