1982 Margo Motors Mogwai 1200M (everyone just adores the Mogwai)
The name has two references (the Gremlins movie (yes, I know, two years too soon), but itâs also a direct dig at another old âsubcompactâ - the AMC Gremlin).
There is an automatic version as well (the Mogwai 1200A).
It will fit four (though Iâm sure anyone you put in the rear seat wonât be happy for long), and the trunk is large enough for several kegs for the Keg parties the car is surely going to be driven to.

I thought the rules stated 4 full seats, not 2+2.
It has a proper bench in the back (though it has head rests which are not correct - I couldnât find a bench seat that made me happy) - you could theoretically fit three in the back, but be prepared for the silent treatment given how narrow teh car is. No matter what, the short wheel base does mean tight quarters for ones feet.
Oh⊠Just rechecked the stats⊠DOH All that work, and yes - itâs either no seats or plus two - the body doesnât support full rear seats. 
DNF. Ah well, tâwas a good exercise. Next time. 
There is a new experimental feature that lets you copy fixtures between car bodies.
I have no idea though what will happen if you paste on a larger wheelbase variant of the same body type⊠but it may be worth a try?

I have tried. Needs some adjustments and fiddling but not too hard. Just make sure to copy and paste the morphs.

Ah-ha - the four door version of the body does has 2 proper seats in the rear - need to update the interior to four doors.

Iâm glad that worked out for you. Thatâs a lot of work to have to throw away.
Throw away - Naw⊠Hop up material! 
I love my ultra basic firebreatheing track day dragons.

Often bought by young men with mullets and cowboy boots.
I like the design of the rear side window and thatâs clearly a Manta without copying it 1:1
I just googled the Manta right now.
Iâve never seen a Manta before(with this body, the older one yes), BUT I do see that for the U.S. market it looks like a Chevy Monza/ Olds Starfire.
My main issue was trying to not let it look too much like Knugcabs car since I did pick the same body. Iâll tell you what tho, the car that I DID take cues from was my own car.
I took ques from my QFC14 car, the ART ONE. Slight ques, but they are there. It worked out pretty good being that they are only 3 years apart. I wanted to write some lore but Im not really into that.
1982 RĂ©gal 143E
Itâs a car
The RĂ©gal 1-series took the market by force in the late 70s. A small affordable personal luxury sedan was all the rage, and sportier trims did very well.
However in early 80s, RĂ©gal realized that they needed to tap the low end market, being usually premium. So they built their first hatchback - the 143E. E for entry level. A definitely non-premium offering, but still exhibiting RĂ©gal qualities - incredible reliability, good safety, and still a hint of performance and comfort.
With a brand new 2.0L OHC, replacing the older 1.8L, it includes 4 valves for emission control and generates nearly 120hp and did 0-100 under 10 seconds.
Good economy, and the cheapest RĂ©gal ever - if that interests you in any way, please let us know, weâre really not sure about it.

The New Hinode Coronet GT-Turbo
Summary
The third generation Hinode Coronet, a lineup consisting of a 4-door sedan, 4-door hardtop sedan, 2-door coupe, 2-door hardtop coupe, 3-door liftback, and 5-door wagon, made its debut in 1982 just to serve⊠every market that its many body styles and engine options served. That meant everything from small businessâ van to the speed demonâs daily driver.
The model shown is the GT-Turbo liftback, which is powered by Hinodeâs first twin-cam turbocharged engine which produces 160hp, proving to be quick in a straight line but also just as capable in the corners thanks to its all-independent suspension setup. The Coronet exhibits incredible reliability, economy (for what it is, anyway), comfort, and quality as one would expect from a Hinode.

Well, this body is actually based on the second generation Manta, which you never got in the US due to the first model year being 1976 while Opels no longer were imported after 1975 (the âBuick Opelâ you got after that was actually an Isuzu Gemini built in Japan, yes, a half-sibling to the Opel Kadett, but that goes for the Chevette too), so builds on this body will easily get a Manta-ish look I guess.

Okay, now a little heavier, but no longer a 2+2. This is the automatic pictured. Thought it might also be nice to do the last hurra to a option that (unfortunately) was âdyeingâ out - a dizzying array of interior colors. In this case a red wine interior to accent the red accent.
