You have been watching too much project Binky dude.
I have heard rumours that there is a Yaris derivative model in Japan (possibly the Belta?) which is basically an AWD Yaris. I think there is this niche in the Japanese market for "snow cars" which are used up in the high altitude areas in the winter. You could look into if you could import one. Mighty Car Mods had a project where they did an AWD conversion on a Daihatsu Mira by using a wrecked Japanese AWD Mira and using the parts from a half cut and putting it into an Australian road legal Mira. In that case they actually swapped the floor pan between cars by removing all the spot welds and welding the AWD floor pan in and swapping over the rear diff, engine, gearbox, drive shaft and the wiring looms and ECU's. It was a huge job.

There are serious hurdles to overcome though: * The AWD version is only available in automatic. The transfer case is integral to the transmission and would require a custom housing to mate to a manual gearbox. * The JDM versions are all right hand drive. The firewall is almost certainly specific to RHD and will have to be replaced (the way MCM did with the floor pan) to get LHD. * The driveline is designed for a 1.3L engine. Putting 200+hp through it will likely exceed the design intent and end catastrophically. Don't get me wrong, if you have the time, money, skills and resources to make it happen, go for it! We would love to see it happen and there are lots of people can help you figure out the details. |

Simple solution.
Get a jeep. Pull the body from the frame. Lower yaris body onto the jeep frame with entire driveline present. When something hits, cut it out. Continue lowering and cutting until body sits on frame where you want. Start welding!
