Look What I Got!!

Went to my daughters school fete on sunday, whilst wandering round
looking at the usual junk on sale (you know what I mean!!)
I noticed a Tamiya logo shining to me like a beacon, so after heroically wading my way through hordes of screaming kids (and mums!) i finally got to the table and found this (sorry bout the cack picture!)

Here is a pic of the body shell (moulded in colour!)

And this is what the rims are like (hmm tri-spokes! oh well never mind!)

The kit itself isn't that difficult and only has around 35 parts including a
self-adhesive interior carpet!
But I thought it looked sort of cute and it only cost £1.50!! (2.25US$)
Not too sure if I should build it as per instructions or have a play around and see what else I could do to it!
Any suggestions as to what I could do with it?
Let me know (only CLEAN suggestions accepted!)

lol.......could'nt it have been like a ferrari 360 or something....

i always want to go to garage sells to find some cheap model kits but my parents never go!!! ><~~

hmm idea for the S-MX....how bout change the rims~ to liek some 19" or somethign or add a GT-wing~ or cut the roof and make it to a convertible!!! :)

DAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

well heres my input chop the top make it a 2 door add some GFX and do what MX said put the 19s on it

You got a great deal there!

Why not chnage the rim.. the design with the Kit is kinda old? :D

No no no! Go for the cute look and make it pink on stock wheels.

Yeah thanks for the replies but i#ve got no idea where to get different size wheels from here in good 'ole U.K anyone know?
Kinda like ales idea stock wheels and pink (with big daisy's on it!)
I had thought of slammin' it but the prob there is it has solid metal axles
that go all the way through the chassis so not sure really what to do!
Any more suggestions?

Find some dis-used race decals and go nuts! :D

a model like this is best for experimentation...go wild!!

Where are good places to buy car kits? I only see crappy ones in near the magazine section in Sav-On's. :aug2:

I think they look rather cool looking....been thinking of getting this
