This tutorial will teach you how to manually install cars into GTA: VICE CITY using GGMM program.
First step is download a car from the internet, i used this

dmagic1 wheelmod first! do it right away, you are given all instructions where to get it. now go and see the new car you just installed: There seem to be a problem with the textures, let's have a look at them with txd workshop: Oh no, the txd is a mixtature of 8 and 16 bit images, ggmm can display only 8 bit images properly, but the images should be compressed as DXT aniway for use in GTAVC and san andreas, let's compress them in txd workshop: it takes few seconds and we see the images are DXT-ed: let's install the textures again (and only textures, it is not neccesary to install all files again.
now we can see the car properly in ggmm and we avoided any possible errors if gta wouldn't like the mixed-format txd, you can also preview different color versions of the car: And here is the car, finally in your ingame:
