Unless you’re looking for a Walkinshaw you’re out of luck, the only models I've seen are custom resin cast 1/24 Walkys, with the interior and wheels it will set you back around $120 or so.
Since there backyard kits, there are no clear windshields, under tray, suspension or rubber tyres so a decent amount of work is needed unless you want a model of a shell.
If that’s what you after check eBay every now and then and one should come up again.
EDIT: found a fibreglass supplier for the kit below ($36.50) but has no interior so that would have to come from a doner kit (Skyline) and looks like pretty nasty quality.

It would be a lot of work to turn the 1:24 scale walky into a standard VL. you would have to reshape all the lower panels, remove the bonnet scoop and rear wing etc. I have done some of this sort of work before but used a damaged Dinkum Classics 1:24 scale Walkinshaw (much better detailed than the above mentioned kit) to make a model of the F20. Would be a much cheaper exercise to use the above kit for anything else though with the amount of body work required.
