Hi, started work on this model I bought from cgtrader.
I attached some photos of the progress I've made so far. Mesh was not optimized for games so most of the work I've done is just optimizing stuff so it looks kinda good.

Gonna post some photos in chronological order of work done.

First two days were spent organizing the groupings, texturing, and optimizing most of the exterior.
Third day I started work on the interior, going the same route as with the exterior; Remodelled the door cards so they're more faithful to reality, and focused a lot on texturing.
Today I found some very good suspension references which I used to get a pretty close replica of the suspension geometry.
Will update some more as I work on it.

I exported it with triangulated mesh, but for some reason it didnt work. By the time someone gave me a solution i was arleady done with the groupings😅, i appreciate the help though!

If i can quote a country mate that's commentating our french races : OH LA LA!

Added HVAC textures and modelled the toolbox in the back.
No major progress due to lack of motivation.

Modelled the steering wheel, rear heat shield and exhaust, along with finishing up the dials and texturing on the interior. Car is almost ready to be published.

Great job on the interior! Can't wait to see it published!!

I have found a little issue, I don't know if you're aware of it, but the speedometer isn't accurate

Hi Vlad, magnificiant job for this car ! I have a suggestion, because i try to do a livery on it. It seem that the top of the door is non skinable, it turn instant into a white thing, even when you paint it on the livery. Can you do something to avoid it? Screen is attach to the comment. Thank you and take care

Great fix, but i found another one, only on 1 side

Beautiful! Maybe a Group B rally can be created too?

Skin mapping need to be fix, some tris isn't correctly mapped.
Blue : Dashboard tris map to right side
Red : Back is not aligned with front
