Henny 0 Posted August 19, 2003 Rat look originated on Bikes... Tended to go something along the lines of "Get an old bike frame, bolt on a weird engine, forks, back end etc, paint matt black and ignore the oil leaks..." :lol: We did a rat look Type 2 camper when I was a mechanic that was awesome... How it ever got an MOT is beyond me! :lol: She was known as Mega-shed and had custom finishes all over such as a hammer finished door (5lb lump hammer!) and the megadeth "peace sells" logo painted on the side with the logo "type 2s sell, but who the f£$@ would buy this?!?" under it... :shock: :lol: Most of these new rat look cars are just a dodgy/roughish matt paint job with a silly big engine, no dash/interior and lots of gaffa tape! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blown 0 Posted August 19, 2003 Yeah...Rat-look- looks like a car that just about escapes the scrapyard Imagine a car thats been left in a field for five years,been hit by an angry farmer with a shotgun and then trampled by stampeding cattle and your almost there.... You can tell I live in a farming area...Ooooarrr!!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted August 20, 2003 Yup, They're own 'Rat-look' MKI was in the free poster. Basically, they stripped the paint off, gave it salt baths and smashed the headlights etc.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds horribly like someone is trying to do that to my C at the moment... :? In the last 3 months I've had both headlights and the grill smashed, taken the paint off the drivers wing while parking :roll: and blown the engine up twice... Is someone trying to tell me to do something to my C?!? :shock: I'm going the other route... Time to re-spray and rebuild, bigger and better than when she left the factory... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
