Title: Picking up the newest addition to my VeeDub collection
Post by: dan_thevdub_man on 08 September 2014, 19:35: Hi guys iv recently stumbled across a completely standard be vento. 2 litre auto with 65k on the xlock. 2 owners from new. It is completely standard, pics to follow when I pick her up next week.
Tell me what you think. Any ideas.
In thinking of going towards the rat look. But with it being in such amazing condition I think it would be a shame. Anyway yes all opinions welcome, just let's keep stupid and abusive comments away please

Im finding it very hard not to call you many abusive names.

The only cars that pull it off are 50+ years old. Hotrods mainly and thats because the ageing of paint etc make them 'rat' out.

Ratting a perfectly fine and well looked after car is just plain stupid.

My advise is keep it simple. Clean it up so its fresh as fcuk, lower it and put some bbs RS splits on
