Default Tamiya Flakpanzer Gepard?

Hello folks, my interest in tanks has been recently renewed as of a couple of days ago. A flying buddy gave me a previously unknown and unidentified big 'ol tank. After doing research for two days I have figured out it is a 1/6 21st Century Abrahms. Someone has cut all the wires from the boards and broken off the main gun as well as other (kid) abuse. I'm thinking about salvage but I'm not sure how to go here.

BUT getting this tank reminded me of my project tank back in the closet in the toy room. It is an old Tamiya that I bought off ebay several years ago. Nothing is left of the upper hull, and electronics but the lower hull and transmission is all there. After doing some looking I belive it is a Flakpanzer. It also has metal traks and drive sprokets. I assume several hulls would fit this bad boy and I would like to make it run again. Any ideas where I could find the upper hull?
