South City Cab
Modding is some kind of addiction I guess. Another British classic on a way to the LFS to fill my recently gained mod slot.

Progress: obtained a workshop manual with a full technical documentation. Started working on a subdivided basemesh.

Progress: I had to discard previous work and start again from scratch, because I was not satisfied with the topology after subdivision. Created a basic torque curve and gearbox. Decided to use a quite rare 2.2-litre petrol engine with a 4-speed manual (most cabs had a diesel with a 3-speed auto) as it was the fastest option in late 1960s. Still awfully slow, but these are not about speed. It is about an extraordinary steering angle and a GPS inside of the head, right? Big grin

Progress: more work on a body. Started with windows and body panels. Shading optimizations. Created chassis and basic physics. A front axle can be replicated nicely, the rear axle uses my live axle approximation from the Lemon Rose mod. It is slow, but fun to drive, those steering angles are crazy. I usually forbid usage of historically non-accurate differentials, but this tempts to some inadequate locked diff fun.
