As art, it's fine.

As a vehicle, it's b*llocks.

Pretty much covers it.

Although as a vehicle it does have pretty good aircon for those hot summer days....  oh wait.  :undecided:  :grin:

Looks a complete waste of a mk1 to me.

Not a fan. Too much 'low' and 'wide' in the classic golf scene at the mo.

Strictly speaking it isn't really a mk1 is it.

It's more kit car than VW car.

Too low. And with that much of the floor pan missing, you might as well cut out the front footwells, lose the engine and make it Flintstone foot-powered.

DH is right.

Rat look is of course subjective, but those look wrong. The combination of paint and rust looks like a bird did a rust-sh1t on it.

We saw a rat-look beetle the other day and I tried to explain it to my wife, but couldn't.

I personally dont think it looks that bad and its clearly more a show car than a daily.A close friend of mine has a VW split screen van thats a very simlar theme and stupid low along with a Karmann Ghia Razor edge again stupidly low but I love both of them just my view cant all be the same on here.. :smiley:

Wot he said, I concur.

Is there a story behind it? Like was it a MT failure with rotten floor pan so it was instead turned into a project?

Cutting up perfectly (mechanically) good cars to do sh!t like this to really grinds my gears.

Agree, if this was a wreck in the first place I would appreciate what they have done, more.

As far as I know the car was put together by the guys at BagYard and has been going for a while, however I'm not sure of it's past.

Take a look at the tyres!  :shocked:  :grin:  Some people moan about stretch tyres, how about the opposite?  :grin:

As art goes, I love it but agree it has no practical use as a car and it probably isnt used as one. Get it in an art gallery.

Yeah I know, I just don't get it.  What does having a mint car with a rusty bonnet mean?.. Full rat however, I do understand.

For me it just has a certain charm to it ..A bit like a dog with 3 legs

My opinion with rats is have fun as long as you don't expect to sell it afterwards.
"Why ruin a mk1" Something tells me it wasn't in mint condition before he chopped it.
If anybody here has written off or scrapped a mk1 at some point in their life, you are worse.
and as for mk3's being "too new" to rat..... It's a catch 22.
Rat out a mk1 or mk2 and people say "you ruined a classic"
Rat out a mk3 (which are hardly a dying breed) and people say "should have got an older car"
Finally - If they are gonna make the car look like a banger, they better fuggin' drive it! if not its a REAL waste.
But, where does he put his subwoofer?
