But what is a TR Hornet?

[busheytrader]

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

If it's got tits or tyres then it's gonna cost ya!

[Clay]

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

[moestr7v8]

Is it the full kit and are you going to fit it or sell the kit?
Brilliant colour is that posieden green by any chance?
Regards Moe

[Clay]

No, I think I will fit it to another car.

Not Posieden Green, but might be Olive


or Emerald (HAC)


Posieden is HAF:
