Any thoughts?

When I bought this car, being new to Audi's, I assumed that it was AWD. That was pretty much the main reason why I bought it other than the care and parts that were put into it. Now that I am totally in love with this car, I'm feeling buyers remorse without the AWD. Been thinking of purchasing a quattro of the same year with a little less mileage and trying to swap everything over. Think this is worth it with all the mods or are there ANY benefits?

hate to say this, but I would look other places before I would consider a FWD audi

Nah, keep it. Unless you live in the snow belt, you should have no issues

even then, I'd wager with snows, it'll do fine...

weighs less and has less drivetrain loss too

If it wasn't for quattro, I'd be driving something else.

do a front LSD and you'll be fine

if you drive in reverse

Quattro envy strikes again!

Seriously, if your car is well-maintained and doesn't need anything, I wouldn't bother namely with how soft the market is for a FWD Audi and you never know what type of car you're going to end up with that could be a total nightmare...unless you really like turning a wrench.
