Very cool. I really like that car. The best we got was the SVT over here, but the plain 3-door with 16" alloys and manual 5spd was a fun little ride.

Yeah I'm not 100% sure on the wheel size, it is a bit larger than 18 inches but maybe not 19.5, I'm waiting for accurate measurements from an owner.Wow I'm loving the progress!
The tyre tread pattern looks perfect. Though is the sidewall a bit too tall? Remember an 18" rim is 19.5" across (1.5" ontop of the tyre bead size on all wheels)... maybe the tyre is right, the wheel too small?! It looks right though.
On the triangle edits under editable poly/edit poly, just watch out with some modifications as if the numbering of verts is reset then the triangulations can be reset. Some tools like target weld respect vert numbering for example, while global welds of large selections don't.
It's well worth doing them though, the flow of reflections will look sweeter with the flows set now I bet!
It'd be nice to see that door wibble tidied up, probably something you can do near the end though as it's probably a subtle change. Just 1cm in/out might be enough over the whole door... it's a pita to get right in my experience but as I've said before your work is otherwise very good so this is just nit picking towards perfection more than anything.
I'm still really impressed with the modelling you've done though. This is a tough car shape to get right and you've pretty much nailed it

I'm still sitting here awaiting the Transit
Well, if he wouldn't work on 3 projects at the same time..
Really looking forward to your mod, looks superb so far
One thing is in my mind the whole time: here in Germany there's a tv show for children called "Die Sendung mit der Maus". For over 40 years they're airing every Sunday and explain scientific stuff as well as showing cartoons. I loved that show when I was a kid and round about 15 years ago they made several episodes about how a car is built. I still have all the VCR recordings, oh the memories
Anyways they filmed the complete building process of a Mk1 Ford Focus, so maybe it's of any interest for you - for German-speaking people it's worth a watch in every case:

Btw, is the writing on the tyre sidewall a bit too pronounced? It looks about 5mm high in the last screenshots.
... I'd probably have run out of motivation by now and would have released nothing at all.
Yes its probably not the most efficient method, but it keeps me interested and at the end of the day I've release two mods now - I can't say that'd be the case had I kept on plugging away with the transit from day one.
Yep i will as soon as I can - bit busy with this at the mo: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/rss-gt1-championship.140452/page-62#post-2617769Pleaaaaaase pleasse finish this! it looks so good so far.
