    Talking Turboing my AE101 Levin GTZ

    This is going to be my project.

    First off will be the repairs, as it hit something and damaged a bit of stuff. i.e
    RH headlight,
    Grill,
    Bracket that holds headlights, grill and bumper on,
    Bumper,
    Intercooler,
    Radiator,
    Upright off the chassis.

    Also needs tyres and the flame thrower exhaust removed (or maybe hidden) and then should get a Warrent of Fitness.

    In its current state it still runs, and I got it for $1600, shipped it up for $300

    Then when it's all goods...

    TURBO!!!

    Will upload photos of current state

    I had a AE101 levin gtz half cut about 2 months ago, to bad its gone now i could have supplied the brackets and shiz.

    however i do have:

    A grill,
    Radiator,
    and a set of headlights (cant separate sorry)

    all kept as spares out of the halfcut

    that i can happily sell to you if you want.

    let us know.

    I also had a proper GTZ bonnet with the scoop for a TMIC but it has been also chucked out as of last month.

    bummer about the timing eh?

    How much would you want for the lights and grill? Plus being in NZ shipping might be dear as, but if not I'll be keen aye.

    It came with a slightly damaged FMIC but the pipes are a shitty as bushjob but I'm not gunna worry bout them as I'm just gonna make new ones up. The Cooler it's self I'll probably just patch up

    I've brought a radiator

    I think I may be able to fix the bracket (I've fixed worse things in crashes) I'm gunna weld the support up

    Brought new mags - Some 15" Oz's

    And the bumper (aftermarket) just needs a bittah fibreglassing

    Oh and I HATE the blue in the engine. So thats all getting taken off and either polished or painted black
