Nah I lent my kit to gingernuts who then made molds of the entire thing.i Think he may have forgot his password for his old username.
My one was the last one to come out of Japan.
Ginger made one copy for himself and as far as I know partially fitted it and had to put the project aside.

Many have enquired no one has had the cash so far
All said and done a copy of the kit would be about $5000
We're either of you in halls head with a black t2?

No we are both over in Perth & all our T2s are White. He's not shy about spending on these cars hey..If someone handed you 5k Could you actually get another kit?

I think ginger is too busy now days to lay up a kit himself,so it would require me driving from Sydney to Adelaide and back again to pick up the molds then build a copy myself,if he will allow me to take possession of the moulds.
And in saying that I'm not exactly overflowing with spare time these days either

I have not herd from kazaoka for quite a few years now.
He made it as far as sydney airport about ten years ago on the way to stay with me for a few weeks but had a death in the family and had to go straight back.

Hey Turbo, Reply today from Kazzee :

Dear Michael

Thank you e-mail and looking at my web site.

I prepare the fellow to introduce to you. Take a little time.
Also have friends of Melbourne living in one of them.

Turbo II Widebody Kit was broken FRP base.
Mr.matt (aka turbocab for www.cityturbo.com) knows the detailed situation.
Please try to contact us.

Also I will mail to you. :-)

Thank you, from Japan

kazzee

I'm actually more keen on getting to know him & the other City guys in Japan, my friend that's busting a gut for a Widebody kit I think plans to import a wide bodied one from Japan someday. Apparently 1 has been up for sale over there. You should flick him an e-mail & say Hello! Strong Japanese bond there ;)

I had to pick it up from a local Company the Importer uses for Perth Orders, was actually pretty cool as all 7 workers there were standing around wanting to know all about it, showed them pics of my City's, one of them used to work for HonBits here in WA as well. Generally find ppl take the piss out of the Cars but Everyone seems to love the Bike ;)
