Bodykit maybe?
Although it looks like an old Rimmers kit there.
Maybe it's the pet name for his motor?

i might be wrong here but i think it's an Aussie kit and as a matter of interest one has recently been done or added to a car over here in the Uk and was on the TR Registers stand at the NEC last year.
Personally i think it's the ugliest kit ever

Rimmer's and Victoria British both sold this kit. In fact, I have one sitting behind my storage shed!

No, I think I will fit it to another car.
Not Posieden Green, but might be Olive
or Emerald (HAC)
Posieden is HAF:
