Does it include paint and cement?

Paint and cement are not included. This is a DIY product. The 2nd and 3rd pictures shows which tools you may need, and paint recommendations. You can still buy different paints and tools from a manufacturer other than Tamiya. This is not a miniature pre-assembled and pre-painted metal car.

Does the car have an engine/engine bay?

No, there is no part that opens to show the rear engine. You can view the engine from the underside however. It is a great looking addition to my car collection. I painted it gloss white with black accents and red/black seats, red steering wheel and gold wheels. Have fun.

is it possible for you to tell me the wheelbase for the body of the car? length from the center of the wheel arch and width fender lip to fender lip?

Sorry, no longer have this model.
