You should release it, it looks really nice and sweet. Poor Kuruma, didn't made it to more recent games :<
It would be nice in GTA SOL i think , it's going to be between 90's | 00's.

Thanks!

I'm still working on the Kuruma, there are lots of updates coming for both versions, convertible & sedan! I replaced the entire interior, dashboard, added engine bay side panels (for the shocks, springs to lock in), new engine frame, along with the updates you saw on previous pics... New wheels, new engine, new exhaust pipes, new shocks (along with disc brakes, drums) and last but not least, SA license plates... (since this is now SA model)

Currently, I'm finishing the updated convertible model, there will be 4 Kurumas in total. 2 Sedans, standard & Turbo, along with 2 convertibles. Standard will have a 2.5L BMW engine with steel wheels & round exhaust pipe. Turbo will have a 2.5L TT turbo engine, sport-looking wheels (as you saw on those pics above) and big, oval exhaust pipe. I'm probably going to make a custom colors for turbo as well, something like black, or red-black, to make it seem aggressive

EDIT
Ooops, forgot about the spoiler & the "extra" stuff (2 extras on the convertible)... Spoiler will be only on a turbo model, standard Kuruma won't be having one.

LOL, so true!
Anyhow, I'll post the new screenshots as soon as I have more progress to show... I've been replacing the power supply today, so I'm not sure how much work I'll get to do on the Kuruma, but it'll most probably be done by tomorrow afternoon, evening

Don't need to rush ; Good mods take long to be finished (sometimes).

Anyway, I need to ask for a help... Despite all my efforts, I'm still having a solid windshield problem... I tried pretty much everything, yet I'm still having the same problem

[MegaMario1500]

Oh, that's bad! Sadly, i don't know about that yet, i'm going to learn about it

That's OK... I found a way around the problem, so you can expect this to be released later today or most probably tomorrow

As you can probably see, the solid windshield is one of them, I had the similar problem on another SA vehicle recently & didn't know how to correct it... The same material applies to ALL the windows, yet ONLY windshield seems to be solid

That's a common problem when exporting for SA, but it's usually a gray or white windshield.

Create a new material, set the transparency to your desired level, use a texture that has several shades of gray, and UV MAP all the windows and windshield to a very small part of that texture that's a solid color.

Great, this was my favourite vehicle in III.

Too much work, but thanks anyway lol. I found a way to work around the problem, by attaching the windshield onto the actual chassis, body. It won't be able to smash, therefore damage won't be visible, but at least it's no longer transparent, I got it working

Still working on the model, have a lot of plans for this car, but until then, I'll first make sure to release Kuruma S (Standard) & Kuruma TT (Turbo)

EDIT
Sorry for the delay, I ran into some window transparency issues with the Kuruma, but I /SHOULD/ be releasing it tomorrow... No promises though, especially now that the weekend is over
