Hola Jaime ! glad to read you !
one question : have you four hands ?  ;-)
I find your GS fantastic too, it reminds me my adolescence. This car was
very popular in 70's and I see it with a little nostalagia ;-)

I have to model a nissan micra, so I read your method description with
interest...

GS owners ? I think they are not many today ! maybe 4 or 5 ... ;-)
