Default Tamiya shell advice - Escort cosworth / Celica

I've been hunting 2 Tamiya rally cars, however nothing available is quite what I want so I'm going to buy a pair of Tamiya chassis and bodies separately.

Chassis are easy to get but I'm really struggling to find a body kit for an escort cosworth (intention to do the tiger stripe decal scheme) or a 93 Celica GT4 (ST185) I can find the earlier ST165 (1990) shape but not the '93 anywhere (the 1990 has closed lights the 1993 has open).

Any ideas? Tried Tamico/Stella.

The Cosworth escort is very rare. A bodyset will cost about £80-100 when it appears on ebay.

Team blue groove make an escort shell and also do decals to make it look like a tiger stripe or Pilot escort. It is based off the later WRC Escort (Which Tamiya still make).
