    All the mod's cars are based on the moonhawk then edited accordingly like you say. What i just wanted to say about the station wagon is that nothing is done, even the rear end mesh, so it will take some time. The jbeam will be edited so that it will fit the station wagon shape of course. The photos were here just to tell there is a Wagon planned in the future, nothing more.
    The first release will contain only the two sedan.

    Considering your car is 4,78 meters long, is front wheel drive and is a coupe, i guess that an Oldsmobile 98 Regency Sedan which is 5,62 meters long and is a rear wheel drive, is not that similar in most of its components and behaviour. Your car is probably more modern in its behaviour, not such a bouncy boaty land barge like the Regency and Delta 88.

    Not at the beginning i'm affraid, mostly in the middle of the month. They are many details to finish and also i have professionnal activities that have priority on this release.
    But i'm on it, as well as others people giving help on it currently. It will be in september at least.

    I totally forgot about this indeed, thanks for bringing it back ! I could make a white/cream wagon like that and the dashboard police lamp could be a nice addition (though it may be difficult to drive with such a lamp straight in the eyes, that's why Danny Glover ended to crash the car in parked one :p)

    I wanted to reply as good as possible to this post and didn't had time yet.
    I'm very glad to share with another owner of the same Diesel engine.
    Indeed, i changed myself the original DB2 roosamaster which still had the disintagrating (and disintegrated) governor seal by another one who was rebuild with an EID upgrade, i don't know if it speaks to you. And all of those work was a nightmare.
    I made a tool myself by cutting a 16 1/2 wrench in two parts and welded it with the correct angle to access the bolds that are under the pump support. I reproduced the tool used by GM to do that. Then i had to restart the machine. I think i've reloaded 6 or 7 times the two batteries, in vain, because of too much air in the fuel lines.
    Then a friend of mine who owns a garage let me use his battery booster. And all of that with having a Renault 21/peugeot 205 fuel filter mounted on the fuel arrival line, that can separate the water and most of all, has a button on the to press and help the air to escape the circuit.
    But it started again, with lots of white smoke. Then i had to set up the angle of the pump, to solve the too much combustion issue, and a friendly fellow on a Diesel forum told me i had to change the pump orientation because of the used timing chain, that became a bit longer when old. So he told be that i had to turn it the thickness of a 20 cents coins, something like that.
    Crazy forum conversation. I did and it worked perfect ! :p
    No more smoke.

    The fish can fuel filter is something to laugh about, as you said, how have they managed to avoid the necessary water separator filter, and even worse, make one that will allow the water and dirt to enter first in the intake ! Ha ha.

    HA, and i had to change all the very fragile umbrella seals of the diesel pump shaft, what a pleasure to play with expensive an so fragile parts, thinking of the oil diluted by diesel fuel issues then engine breaking if badly done.

    Really happy about your feedback Dude !

    I randomly made horns once (wanted to know how I could get the shape in blender), they can be seen in N9s Variety mod on the Grand Marshal. I would surely donate them :).
