Tamiya Mazda Eunos/MX5/Miata kit (more new wheels)

After some heavy hints my wife bought me the Tamiya Eunos 1"24 plastic kit for Christmas. I want to build this in to a replica (or what I want it to be) of my 1:1 model. I've done some modelling (as in kit building not the other sort) in the past but I'm not great at finishing things as you'll see.

Anyway the Tamiya kit;



it's a curbside model so no engine detail, so mocked up with the kit (14" daisy) wheels;






So the first thing is to mock up with some wheels I have in the parts box, some cross-spoke alloys from a Pontiac Trans-Am kit (yeah, 5 stud and raised white letters...)



or some ESCI BMW M1 BBS cross spokes;



I like these but they're miss matched sizes (came from a 1:32 Porsche 935 kit);



I have bought from eBay some Fujimi accessory wheels that should be 15" multispoke (like the Team Dynamic Pro-Race)



I'll also need seats, scratch-built roll-bar and harnesses, here's the interior 'tub' mocked up wit the seat from the BMW M1 kit



and those unfinished kits;

Airfix Pontiac Firebird, had one of these as a hire car the first time I went to the US



Anglia Gasser and Tamiya Lotus 7 (includes some great weber carbs), actually have a built version if this as well.



ESCI 'crystal' BMW M1 racer (need to do something with the roof as the glue discoloured the clear)



After seeing markgenesis effort I'll try and finish the Anglia but in black.

Also found a great shop that specialises in car kits, for buying custom parts or kits, www.hiroboy.com/ popped in earlier in the week and although they're not really a shop had a great chat and a look at the aftermarkets parts available and the kits (some nice BMW E30) Fujimi kits.

We'll see how I get on with these, need to sort out the hobby shed first.
