    Yeah.
    There was a Honda Civic rebadged as a Acura in Canada called the CSX, which was then killed off and replaced by the ILX.

    Felt a little inspired by Shotgun Chuck.

    Its a little wonky (especially around the front bumper), and my attention span is too short to finish it (aka, its 1:30am and I want sleep). But it certainly ain't too bad.

    I tried to correct my Ferrari sketch, windshield angle and went window are probably still wrong. Also, is it too much to ask for an eraser that isn't garbage?

    Still doesn't have wheels so I'll have less to redo.

    I have some of these and they are excellent: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Derwent-2301964-Shaped-Eraser-Blister/dp/B00A37U7TE

    You would likely have better luck finding a decent American art brand though, since I have no idea if Derwent exist in the US and if they do, they will likely be imported (aka expensive).

    Mazda didn't offer the 626 with a V6 in Europe. Are USDM and EUDM versions mechanically similar enough to allow a V6 swap without major modifications?

    JDM version, identical to the EUDM but badged as Capella, was offered with a V6 as well. V6 Capellas are more powerful than US 626s (200 vs 170) and are AWD only. Would an AWD Capella-sourced V6 work in a FWD car? Or is it possible to swap the whole AWD drivetrain in and how much work would it require?

    Easier to import the whole car, then if handedness is an issue, LHD interior swap it

    How about the V6 from the USDM version? Would it take a lot of effort to swap in?

    Learn the basics before you do anything, otherwise you give your own car a death sentence.
