Syngledad36 I copied all the post files less the HELP post. This is the only one that I have seen without the flip up headlights, looks pretty good in my opinion but would be a descent amount of work I imagine. Wynn, this car was built by a 16 year old. It is an electric. A quick search brings him up. Looks like the valkrie/avenger headlights. he also built the front airdam/spoiler himself. As far as the headlight bucket removal, I have seen a few different gt2's with thin headlights mounted in the top of the recess with plexi-glass covers. This whole post should not be here in classifieds (unless of course it's classified info). That being said, here was a build from about 4 years ago that I still look at amazed at the inventive twist to headlights: I just found that picture online :/ wish I knew the owner.

The car was built in the South by the owner of a body shop for his wife, it was for sale on CL for a really long time, they were asking $5000.00 It finally sold and about 3 months later appeared on CL again from a different owner @ $6000.00 not sure what ever happened to it but it was really built! the floor mats lit-up with the Bradley logo and the detail work was outstanding.

Not to revive a long dead thread, but I am pretty sure I just bought this car at an estate sale.. I am new to the kit car world but fell in love with the car (and the price) when I was at said estate sale. Since buying it, I have been looking everywhere for the model of the one I just bought but all of the pictures were wrong because the headlights were off, the hood was slightly different, etc. When I found this thread I was just looking to see if there was a specific model type and then I noticed the steering wheel, padding on the side, speakers, shifter, it's all the same. Sadly the car ended up at a hoarding house and has fallen apart, but I am excited to have pictures to reference while I bring it back to life.

riki, do you have any pix that you can put up? If it's the same car, I can't imagine someone would neglect it - it was so well built!

Does anyone have a source for a back windshield and a drivers side door plexiglass replacement?

There are no "new" parts sources. I believe the back windshield is just a flat piece of glass you could get at a glass shop.

riki, do you have any pix that you can put up? If it's the same car, I can't imagine someone would neglect it - it was so well built! And.... one year later, I finally found this forum thread again. I cannot figure out how to upload pictures but if you want to email me at riku203@gmail.com I will gladly send you the pictures of the state it was in when i found it. It was really bad. The engine was disconnected and would only turn over once before the key got stuck in because of the dirty build up over the years; it looks like someone tried to take a hack saw to the fiber glass body and cut the read strip off but stopped after a foot. The floor lights were long gone, seats missing, the speakers water logged. I didn't realize how bad it was until i had the pictures of it in pristine condition to compare it to. I think the person who bought it off craigslist last was the hoarder I ended up getting it from.

Here is My Bradley GT II without flip up headlights. It has some auxiliary lights with "angel eyes" LED ring around the perimeter. I just built some brackets that hold them in place, bolted to the bulkhead. photos.app.goo.gl/ei2VRmSfceJfviAW7I plan on making some background for the lights and installing plexiglas over the top.
