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.

The one on the left is perfect. Is that the converted one?

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.
