Bagged MK1, Is this simply too much!?

[Dan_GTi8v]

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

It's more sh!t 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..

He could always be unique and lower it on bbs wheels... maybe be a rebel and stick a 1.8t in their.

Its daft yes, but good daft 

[Gavv8]

I quite like it.

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!      Some people moan about stretch tyres, how about the opposite?

I know its rat look but the welding really shouldnt be

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.
