This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).

Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape....

The build thread still lives on here

I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.
