Well, if I do the swap its only for trade with someone else. I can think of other things I would spend my money on rather than buy all the parts to do it...

So if its possible and any white sedans come along

so the end result would be a yaris hb with a sedan front? i'd like to see that, can anyone do a chop?

...but won't that make it look like a frankenyaris?

07WYarisRS · 01-13-2007, 11:12 AM

looks pretty good though

ASHRAF · 01-13-2007, 11:11 PM

Introducing the Yaris Hatdan

so yea tried my best, gives u a better look of things, i still stick with my word about the sedan bumper not fitting to the hatch

johnnyfive · 01-14-2007, 12:43 AM

not just the bumper, it would be a bumper, hood, headlights, fender swap...

try photoshoping that from one and maybe you will get a better idea :)

dngz · 01-14-2007, 01:17 AM

im pretty sure the sedan has a longer front. ur gonna have to do some modding on the frame too

all these dimensions and more can be found in the bodyshop manual, found on this site.

The whole front???

thats a big project though still sticking with my "wont fit" statement.....

Yup, I was saying all those parts would need to be swapped...

However, now that I look at the black plastic caps in front of the rear view mirrors and realize that the shape of the sedan is different to the hatch.

Im still trying to find all the dimensions to be 100% sure because I wont just give up on trying to do this if someone with a white sedan comes along. Hopefully Ill be able to see a few side by side at the get together on wednesday!

I swapped a GTI front end onto my old MK3 Jetta back in the day, and like your idea... unfortunately the Sedan and Hatch Yaris are completely different (like comparing a Passat to a Golf). I'm sure if you want it bad enough you can make it work, but it won't be as simple as bolting on the fenders, hood, core support, etc. It will probably require windshield, doors and roof work also.

johnnyfive · 01-15-2007, 10:10 PM

what makes you say they are compleatly different?

they are both based on the vitz frame...

johnnyfive · 01-15-2007, 10:35 PM

just spent some time fliping through the colision repair manual, and i really think it will work...

they have seperate sections for replacing all of the parts behind the a-pilars, but for the core components infront, they have just one section for both the sedan, and hatch...including the a-pilars...

might just have to add the little plastic ting infront of the mirrors to the swop list :)

The Yaris sedan is based on the Belta, not a Vitz. They have different wheelbases, different width, and different height. The windshield is angled differently as well as the hood. If it works, I will be very surprised but I wish you luck and will be very impressed if you can pull it off!
