I have an article about a converted race sedan into a civil car, but it's not an easy task (required replacing the front bumper). Now unless you're quite advanced in making models (are you?), I wouold suggest shelving this idea for a while.

If you still decide to do it, I can get you both the sedan race model (24168) and the estate street version (24152) that you will need a lot of parts from (basically, the whole chassis and then some!) if you're prepared to wait for a coulple of months for it and pay the cost of kits plus shipping from here to the US. But it will not be cheap.

You're welcome, but I can't because:

a) it's not on the net, it's in a Word document (don't ask!)

b) it's in Russian anyway

c) there are no in-progress pics

But yes, the black one is the one that has a modified street wagon chassis and front bumper.
