If they were still building to this day I'd only expect just wheels and no body. They started building it in 1943, but other projects took precedence, such as the also-failed Ratte (the turret of which was completed and put in Norway for Coastal Defense, and it's still there today) and the Maus (two of which were built, the second one rumored to have fought the Soviets just outside of Berlin, where it was only defeated after it ran out of gas). The project was canceled in Summer of 1944 by Albert Speer, who had thought that the idea was stupid and impractical anyway from sheer cost but had agreed at first to appease Hitler. Besides, it would've been a sitting duck for fighter-bombers anyway, so building it would've been a waste of time and resources, neither of which the Germans had.
