Modified Hornet

Here's my modified Hornet after a fair bit of work. I have been reliving my youth and couldn't resist getting a rerelease of the kit. To be fair I'd forgotten quite how bad the car handled and the gearbox slap while it bounces along.

I actually found this website when looking for a way to try and address the handling issues. I was very impressed with the work members had done and was inspired to have a go myself.

I converted the front and rear suspension and fitted modern dampers. I also fitted a third rear shock to try and fix the gearbox slap. I received very helpful advice from another member Toykid and shamelessly copied his front bumper mod.

I also went for a bit of a shiny paint job, which I appreciate may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it and think the car has turned out well.

I have posted a picture of the car as I built it stock and pictures of the mods.
