The first thing coming to my mind would be try a transformation to a convertible!:p
Yeah, I know!:bloated: Its crazy.:licker: The second thing crossing my mind is replacement parts. Contact Tamiya and ask for a replacement. The crack sounds really big and bad. You may have to pay depending on your location. From experience with Tamiya Canada, they are really getting stingy even if you really are telling the truth about what you need.:p :p

I'm sorry for what happened to your GT-R. If you can post pictures of the outside and inside of the body shell, I think I can give you more precise advice.

Bad luck about the car.
Try heating it with a hair dryer to get some shape back into the crushed side.
As for the split...you will need to "groove" it out first on both sides. Superglue it back together and leave for a while.
When really dry, you can then putty it up then sand.

Making a convertable sounds like a good idea but im not really that skilled.I think i'll try to fix it instead - or it will become the start of a new " to do" pile.
