What did you use to remove the kit bumper, and do you think you will need to add "brackets" to mount the ZoomOn bumper securely?

Rodent, this is what I use to deepen panel lines as well as scribing through the plastic to remove bumpers and hoods, etc. 

 

As for reattaching the bumper ill use thin strips of styrene as guides to get the placement where it needs to be, that and CA glue.

Can’t go wrong with red! That will look sharp with the interior..

Carl,

Here is a pic from a different angle to get another view of the red.

Thanks Ben. I was thinking that would need some bracing.

Not sure when I will start this build, but I am following yours for inspiration.

The transkit is really nice, but the Tamiya kit's upholstery pattern appears to be wrong for an R model.

Very nice paint, Ben!

Agree on the upholstery, but making It with the parts provided as if it were mine in real life. That half the fun of this hobby.

Looking good! my old, old boss wife had a 850 T5R wagon, in yellow. Drove it few times, fun car considering the shape.
