Well, did you plan to repaint it? Keeping it together gives you limited options, but if you don't mind taking it apart, then drill the rivets out, strip the paint with something like aircraft stripper, hen sand and paint as desired. As for the windows, usually you can hit it with some light sanding, then dip the plastic into some Future floor polish. That usually restore the shine to the glass.
I plan on keeping it together. Mostly the windows is what needs to be addressed. That and the "interior" used to be white, but has stained, from the sandbox I'm sure. I forgot about Future, the scale modeler's best friend.

AFAIK, I still have homers at work. If you have or can acquire a red e30 M3, i'll trade you.

I am almost positive I have red e30s. I am also willing to lay cash out for the homers if need be.
I'll take at least two. I want to make sure everyone else gets.their orders as well.though, SL make sure you take care of Appleseed and them and I'll take spares.
I have one of each of the current zamac cars. James Bond lotus. A few more. I'll double check when I get home.
I'm sorry the images are sideways but I found some older stuff on the pegs at a local hobby shop. Dates from 2005-2010.
Apparently, my red e30s have gone walkabout. I feel like I'm missing a whole box of stuff. In the meantime, if there's something else you can think.of, let me know. Otherwise, I know a few places that will.still have them and I will go hunting tomorrow.
