Download TXD Workshop (use google for that.. ), then open it , click on "Open IMG" then navigate to gta3.img ( normally in GTA San Andreas folder/models ) open it. Then for example lets say you want to change your NRG-500 look, As you see in TXD Workshop on  the left side are files and files and more files .. so scroll down until you see nrg500.txd , click on it and you see 4 files open: brakes, body , metal and decals files. Second file is the body template , so what you do now is click on the body file , click on Export , click on PNG , navigate to whereever you want it to be exported and click open. Then open your picture editing program (Paint , Photoshop , Photofiltre .. whatever it is) and start to mod it ..
Also use Google and YouTube for better and simplier tutorials.

Yes p1nts3l got a majority of it.

Some things to keep in mind is that the best format to save in is png. it is best to save by the correct format (like 500x500 for body etc)

if you have vista run as admin if it doesn't save correctly. :)

If done correctly you saved the file onto the gta3.img, no further actions needed.

Open the gta3.img in TXD Workshop as you did previously to get the body file , find nrg500.txd again , click on the file you want to be replaced ( may be not needed ) and click on Import.
Make sure you save edited file as .png forgot to say that before.

Close your game while you open it

Since this is extremely helpful and such, from p1nts explinations, can we have him make a full detail one and sticky it for future refrence?
If you see a big ass bright red fire engine with the lights flashing and siren going, why must you insist on RAMMING it?!?
