Been making this for some time in blender now, working off of a scanned model I purchased (real life this time) as a reference, presumably of a junkyard car. Most of the sellers' sales of his models are used in this exact way, but I did get written permission to use this model for this purpose. It's essentially a 3D blueprint of some 2.6 million very rough, polygons, unusable as any type of game asset on its own.
This mod is based on a (USDM) 1990 Mazda Protege 4WD. The FWD version is an already rare car for the States, but this one in particular came 4WD, with population estimates to be in the low thousands, with some forums even claiming low hundreds, imported for the domestic market.
The plan is to first make a normal stock version, as accurate as I can at least, then eventually go for a separate version/upload as a replica of my friend's old car (front lip, small turbo, slightly lowered, few stickers, etc.). If I think this version turns out good enough, I'd like to make it public, while the replica car might stay as a private upload, if and when that comes.
Along with pictures, I have live streamed a few times as further proof, although not as much as I could. I don't exactly model 'with confidence' all the time yet.
This is watchable at least
