As some of you know, I was building up a replica race car walky. Well as I am about to buy a walky, I won't be able to afford to make the race car. So, Im selling off the parts I've got. The shell is bare, with no interior (some dash parts), bumpers, door moulds, engine, transmission etc... Has a Turbo diff in it though. The shell is pretty straight, with only a bit of surface rust. Still has the electric window motors in, and wiring. I bought this off Jetwpn about a year a go for $1500. Parts are in beechboro. PM or call me on [phone removed] if interested. Cheers, Craig

Guys, the shell is bare!!! No calais front, no door moulds! Its been stripped (This is the way I bought it) It does have beige calais hood lining, I think cruise control is there (no switch). It was a calais turbo manual, so it has the turbo diff. Compliance plates are there also, so if someone put a turbo motor and manual gearbox in it, it would be a factory calais turbo manual! As for walky front bumper, I don't have one sorry, but door moulds and guard bits I prolly will. Im going thru all the bits I have over the weekend, and will make a list, and put up pics....

Rear brakes yes, handbrake still works fine... front calipers are gone... pics.... Has no front windscreen, but has rear window, but it's not sealed in. All other windows are there...... I have more dash parts also, which almost make up the entire dash & centre console. Bump

Plates go with the shell.. You want em, buy it. As you can see, the body is pretty straight.. It has a turbo diff, electric windows, central locking, almost all the dash.... Being that it has the plates, if you put a turbo motor in it, and gearbox, then it's a factory Calais Turbo Manual.

OK, need this gone, and if it doesn't sell complete by the weekend, I'll start wrecking it.. I don't really wanna do this, as I don't have time. So any reasonable offer, will be considered.
