I like the rat look, think that one looks awsome, however what is the policy on bumpers for mot???? Thought you had to have some sort of bumpers to pass.

I am going to be watching this one to see what it sells for. :grin:

That Mk1 looks absolutely class. I'm sure that as the metal holes, if filled and repaired it can only add to the danger of driving it, bad times.

 If you'd have seen some of the sheds i've taken to the road in that car looks perfect. Besides, you want the tit on the bicycle to remember the clash when he jumps off the pavement in front of you  :evil:

 Remember the bumperless debate on here and think it was established that bumperless if fine for MOT?

as long as you have no sharp edges! oh and on a mk2 the front bumper irons are structural, so they would have to stay in place as they support the front cross member. the ends which protrude out from the chassis legs will need chopping off though


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Slightly different, instead of stripping the paint, this look is called, beating all the panels to an inch of their lives, removing all the door rubbers and let the rain pi55 in and let it rot from the inside out.. but.... make sure the engine is shiney.


This doesn't even look road worthy with that tailgate!.. how sharp!?... and some of the other holes in bad places like near the windscreen.



I am sure from memory this was found in a field so they left it as was, don't even think it has a mot as it is trailered everywhere.

Rat look is pointless, I've never ever understood it. It devalues your car by pretty much completely (unless you chuck expensive wheels/interior/addons) and the life expectancy is cut by a LONG time.

Ah right... Well that seems like a lot of pointless scene hassle, waste of nice wheels and shiny engine... Noticed that's not actually plumbed in.

Yep scene points, sure it was sat in a field for something like 10years.

Shame really guess it is too far gone to save.
