Otherwise: You are absolutely right, scratchbuilding something you can buy is much too much effort. [1] www.tamiya.de/e...300058677/

Thank you!

And yes, I do want to put it on a FWD Chassis. I know, the Ghia is a RWD car, but I don't own a RWD-chassis and I think driving it with FWD will look very "scale".

The vac former is pretty easy to build. Give it a try!
