Is a scrap yard like an orgy for you lot?

yes, if they have cars like this in them.

 

[young_lew]

There's rat look and there's 'shat look'. A lot of them that have been posted are the latter. In my opinion a true rat looker should happen over time, not fake it by sanding down normal paint to age it and chuck any old s**t on it to f**k up the paint.
A proper 'Rat' would be solid underneath with naturally aged body & paint, ie the '59 bug in this thread http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=416002

£7500!!!!!


he's pissed!

That first black old 5 series is ruined.Would look much better if it had a nice clean bonet

 

[jack_davey]

I wouldnt go as far as ruined, but it would look perfect if it had a decent bonnet on it etc...
I think the rat look can be quite cool with the roof racks etc, but the state of the body work...yukkk!!.. It's like finding a really good looking girl then covering her in acne, blisters and giving her some old rags to wear! lol

Some American rat.

 

[Ian_182]

Some of the american trucks look cool

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, love the tow truck imparticularly!

Saw a rat rod like the last one on the M25 recently! Almost identical.

 

[Liam:]

I think it would look better with out the rust but still awesome..

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, for me it makes no sense for the rest of the car to look mint but just the one bit of rust. Its contrived...

 

[cat171]

Hmmm, I think that some cars pull it off well, but others are just too 'try hard'

 

[couzens]
