Oh Easily. A body, wheels and tires are probably more around $80-90. Plus if you want any little extra flip ups or diffusers, you add even more to that.
I had an F103 GT and I sold it and just bought the F103R kit. I worked it out that with all the upgrades I wanted (and not even Tamiya parts) it would be about the same as just buying the new kit. At least by buying the new kit, you are def. using all Tamiya parts and are TCS legal if you ever have the chance to race that.
