Title: Rat gone too far?
Post by: hobnobbob on 08 August 2012, 17:36
Apparently, the car has suffered a serious crash and its engine has burnt out, so now it has a two-stroke Trabant unit that is barely capable of moving the vehicle.
i call it stupid.

Simple answer yes, but I would only imagine that it's meant to be a piece of art rather than a drivable car (so people keep telling me) so in that case it's fit for purpose...

is kinda though. rat look is were you keep a car going for the engine, looks wise your not too bothered (well thats what it was untill kids started tiping salty water on pannels to be cool) and he hasent done anything to the body work(apart from probly bushes and stuff it needs to be safe)only to the engine which was burnt beyone repairability so replaced with another motor

how? owner has focused on making it run which it does (albeit not very well or fast) rather than the body work. pretty much what a rat is to me.

It can't be a rat, it doesn't have a rusty bonnet, worse still, it doesn't have a bonnet at all.  :rolleyes:  :grin:

That has to be the poorest effort ever....looks like the 'A' team knocked it up in their shed whilst pissed.

Sure it runs, but I think they guy has spent a lot of time (but probably not much money) on the looks; cutting panels here, putting in wooden seats, cutting out pillars, suicide doors, changed the boot hatch, installing a swing.
The cosmetic work probably took as much time as the mechanical work.

It looks really rough, but I guess that's intentional.

Perhaps it's a statement about how much work and effort people put into show cars that only ever travel by trailer and aren't used for driving.

That's an interesting way of looking at it.

The guy who has done that is simply taking the p1ss and done it to provoke a reaction, so with that in mind he's done a pretty good job. :afro:

As above so he has done what he set out to do get a reaction fair play and I think it looks the dogs  :wink:

if i had paid to get into a car show to see this i would demand a refund!  :sick:
i absolutely hate this 'rat look' and think anyone who does it is not only ruining a good car but should be shot!
