I can't find replacement bodies sets or rubber tires on the tamiya homepage (tires are not the same size as the 'regular' F104)
Scale body sets do exist though for the modern F104 F1's like their Ferrari and McLaren.

But if there'll be no spare body sets available, perhaps it's better to put these on the shelf as a collectors item instead of racing them ?

Was planning to buy a McLaren next year (MP4/5B, see the 'coming soon items' )

Also the Lotus99T will be back , but this one on the F103 chassis.

Would realy like to race with such a vintage car, but won't buy 2 cars..
