At first I thought of good it's not gonna be too good but I saw the remodel, and wow it looks amazing! Hope the mod goes well!
Yes. atleast do something like an engine swap on an official car first to get some practice with modelling and stuff
so, im not experienced in modeling and my cars are ingame bc they share parts with the covet but if wanna you do that i do you dont need experience
its probably not a chisai succesor. The Chisai is a kei car, aimed mainly for japanese market, while the Ibishu Emblem look like a B-segment (supermini) class car in European definitions, and most likely also aimed for the European market.
