I have a few and they all have Japanese-only instructions. That leads me to believe that the only places you could find them are from some Japanese toy/hobby store, or, of course, ebay. If you don't want to do ebay, try googling and see if anything comes back. You could also go to Tamiyaclub.com and see if anyone there is listing one for sale. You may not be crazy about ebay, but there is the body kit you are looking for on sale for $72.00. I don't think that's too bad of a price. Also, I think that Tamiya is not producing any more of these, so I'd jump at the chance if I were you. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Tamiya-1-12-Toyota-Celica-LB-Turbo-Gr-5-Body-Set_W0QQitemZ380100946443QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_Control_Parts_Accessories?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 I think these re-issued body kits were only released in Japan.

I have one exactly the same and want a new set of tyres and a body would be nice too. Can you give me more info on where I can get that re-issued kit from?
