at200 is the st200 chassis with a 7A-FE front wheel drive power plant. Other than the power plant, it is the same chassis as the st200 but was only used for the Celica
st200 chassis was used only on the Carina ED. It could take a 3S-GE 4WD power plant or a 3S-FE or 4S-FE power plant with front wheel drive
st201 chassis was a slightly modified version of the st200 chassis for the Corona EXIV. This chassis was also used for the Carina ED in later years
st202 is the main chassis for the Celica. It is a slightly modified st201 chassis to accept a 3S-GE without 4WD. Later years of the Carina ED and Corona EXIV adopted this chassis and thus were available with front wheel drive 3S-GE power plant. The Curren also used this chassis.
st202c is the st202 converted to a convertible by ATC of America
st203 is a slightly different chassis to accomodate the 4 wheel steering this model has. Also used by the 4WS model of the Carina ED.
st204 is a slightly different chassis to accomodate the 5S-FE engine and transmission components. Only America (GT), Canada (GT-S) and Australia (SX and ZR) got Celica's using this chassis.
st205 is a slightly different chassis with a larger transmission tunnel to accomodate the 4 wheel drive this model has. Carina ED was also available with this chassis and 4WD.

st205 was the last Celica chassis before the 7th Gen, but not the last T20 chassis:

at200 is the st200 chassis with a 7A-FE front wheel drive power plant. Other than the power plant, it is the same chassis as the st200 but was only used for the Celica
st200 chassis was used only on the Carina ED. It could take a 3S-GE 4WD power plant or a 3S-FE or 4S-FE power plant with front wheel drive

Which is interesting as it would suggest that while the st202, st203 and st204 can't be converted to 4WD as the transmission tunnel isn't big enough, it may be possible to take the crappy at200 plus parts from a st200 Carina ED and convert the Celica to 4WD without serious mods to the chassis. Plus, a non-turbo 4WD has a certain appeal from an insurance viewpoint.
