Zip said:They way they would have done it is Stripped a supra down to just a floor pan then cut the floor pan down to size so its short enough.
Then they would weld the Pugs body onto the supra changed a couple shafts around like drive shafts and prop shafts buy getting smaller ones to fit the new size floor pan.
Its not really a Engine transplant or a Supra engine in a Pug. Its more a Pud body on a shortened Supra Floor pan![]()
Out of all the cars they could have chosen they chose a pug, they really could have done something a bit different at least![]()

ConfusedTA said:Not at all from the looks of it. It looks like they've put the Supra running gear into the 205 shell, just look at how the gearbox is mounted right through the centre of the baulkhead - it wouldn't be like that if they'd used the Supra floorpan.

Looked to me like they had it there to see what it would like like once done and to know when they would need to cut it.
If its not a Supra floor pan, why is it so long?![]()
That's the rear subframe. Holds all the suspension/differential together, and is probably held on by 4-8 bolts - they took it off the Supra in a single lump, and will attach to the 205's floorpan in one lump - keeps all the original Supra suspension geometry/setup completely stock, without having to worry about ensuring the suspension is set up right - as the Toyota engineers did that bit already/Zip said:This is the picture that makes me think it was a supra floor pan

Oracle said:WHAT!? I see no floor pan! I see a Rear axle and diff from a Supra being lined up against the actual car and its old rear Axle, probably to work out body overhang. Hence my 'wide arch' question.
It's not a floor pan. It's a rear subframe. Seperate thingsZip said:Sorry, been up for far too long![]()
It is a better way to use the supra floor pan anyway because it doesnt mess up with the handling asmuch so it ccan still go around corners
