burt out touring its not a rat,, its just not finish

[taylorstattoo]

i am trying too do my own thing and not copy ,, rusty slammington, the one with the shark teeth is shithot but like i said that is his design ...

im looking for the right grill, something like a charger or something to hide the lights,, the bonet is only open as my mate taking the pics likes it lol..
i want the front lower but what what springs do you suggest,, i was going to wait till i fitted the new motor as there is not anoth room under the sump to go to much lower at the mo..

[Gert_8]

IMO the ride hight is just right.

I think you might find it gets expensive if you want to lower it further, without it taking its toll on the handling and comfort. I have known cars (my cab for one) that was lowered so much, it was actually dangerous to drive. I could never take my eyes off the road as it would go off line and looking out for potholes was extremely tiring!

[Stoot]

Certainly is different! I know its been said about 10 times already but I think its really cool to look at but wouldnt do it myself! Always good to see interesting new ideas though!

[FinalD]

Just seen this drive past work (like, literally just this second )...doesn't actually look that bad in the flesh (through the office window)...despite this not being my thing at all.

it's not something i'd do, but i quite like it.

it's been done with a bit of thought, not just a random old shed rattlecanned satin black with some stickers.

[chewy320]

At least you don't have to poke about for rust..

[mercdriver]

You seem to have some votes of confidence off've users I never expected to see...

You've fluked your way into the mix! (By that I mean you've impressed a tough crowd)

I've always liked the rat look and want to do one too but it would be sold on due to the fact I couldn't insure it and run it easily. And, I'd have a very sore ear from all the shouting from 'er in doors...

Best thing to do with the inside now is take all the seats apart and down to a bare frame. Rust them up and sit on them to drive it too.... Then a nice engine conversion you have an ultimate pile, with some serious go power!

i love the line in the guys advert that says "we provide a rusting service".
Dont most old cars carry out this service all on their own.

[Gert_8]

Thanks dude! I thought the VW looked fantastic!

[polsta]

I quite like this



Andrew

me too , think that looks kinda cool, almost like a mahogany wooden look

[dirtee-herbert]

any updates on this?? im loving the rusted/burnt out look. i have done this to one of my bikes before that i use for park. this looks like a realk head turner

[Mo13]

LOVE IT!

[verde]

I love this car sooo much. Did you get your sticker BTW dude?

[Mo13]

Im looking for a cheap touring now!!! cant see it looking as good on any other models though....

[verde]

i wanted to do this with an old 190E. raw all the paint off then set it on fire for a burnt rainbowed darkened raw

[taylorstattoo]

cheers guys,, got the stickers the other day,, nice one,,..

ill be up dating soon, as its of the road for a m52 conversion along with a load of other stuff,, trying to work out a few things now like side exit triple pipes, full cream leather and in the middle of converting a full on old radio in to a ipod dock, would be easyer if i didnt need to pass bloody emisions,, lol

also the conversion is very trying as there is alot involved,, thank god for all the guys on here that have been helping me along,, would of been stuffed with out the zone..

this look can be done on any old car without too much plastic on it but it is hard to get it so it looks natural and the key is doing it quick and get it sealed so you dont end up with a scrapper next time the mot comes around,,

[Mo13]

How did you get it the dark brown? Also do you have a write up with pictures by any chance?

I really want one of these lol

[ross_jsy]

Just use nitromoors to strip the paint (leave it over night and get a scraper on) then let it rust. You can either do it naturally of accelerate the process with a mix of hydrogen peroxide, salt and water. To get it dark brown either rub engine oil in like you are staining wood or use something like Krust rust converter. Did it to the bonnet of an e36 I cruised about it, was novel for a summer

[taylorstattoo]

I really want one of these lol

i sanded the rust down slightly and covered the car in rust killer until it turned a purple/black,, washed off and stored inside to fully dry out overnight,, then iv given it 2 coats of ankor wax and let that dry.. i give it a polish with the wax every month,,

[taylorstattoo]

pics of the two getting to know each other befor they become one ,,, if i ever get it done,, will post up more soon of where im at now,
[/img]

[taylorstattoo]

back at home now and not far off,, maybe one more weekend lol..


i need to get back on the steel as its started to come back more being in a lockup than it did outside,,[/img]

[kangman]

The skull heads look cool, i like how your e30 has come out. Not rusty orange but a nice dark weathered look

[taylorstattoo]

cheers ,, i never liked the fake tan orange look either lol, im going for more burnt out.
Ill get back on top of it this week, sand back down and apply more killer befor sealing again

[kangman]

Yea the orangey rust is hideous

How about some welded bolts to continue the skeleton theme?

[taylorstattoo]

there pretty cool, would have looked good on my old mini

[gooner1]

You selling up mate?

[taylorstattoo]

umm ,, still not sure lol just had my mate around having a go at me for even thinking about it ha ha.. just thought i would see if there was any interest in it and how much it might make?? iv said on on there im not letting it go for under £2,000, some might say its only worth £500 lol but 2k is about what it owes me, plus a small fee , i love the car so much and its great for advertising but... hang on why am i selling it

[gaszman]

when you finished get some clear on that she will look so cool

[taylorstattoo]

it doesn't need it, i polish it with ankor wax every month and that keeps the rust and damp at bay better than paint, lol
