redrocket Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Ive seen this car before its a proper rat, dings and rust holes everywhere except the right places (chassis, under the bonnet etc) When brought to the UK the police threatened to scrap it but it was all legal according to Irish law where we dont MOT cars over 30 years old. I dont think it's welcome in the UK again. Cant find the original story (phpbb not allowing searches under 3 letters, "mk1 rat golf") Wish i could find a better pc
Slammed Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 this is true patina................................................................... and it has actually had some welding done to it now
Billy_smith Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 cant beat rat look in my opinion, i knock around with alot of people hu have yanks, and when u get a 50's buick pull in roof chop, satin black, stainless seals ah mate its mental!
JP. Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 There's a difference between Rat look and Patina look. Rat look is mostly satin black or primer coated while Patina...speaks for it self..... Me personal likes Patina
5hane Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 How do you get the paint so rusty like the top VW??? Is something applied to it to corrode it intentionally? They just paint strip it then leave it out in the rain So thats actually how they do it - i realise thats the obvious solution, but I thought they might be a bit more creative.... when people do pannels, they sometimes tbare metal it, and put it in a padling pool, full of water and salt, leave it a few days and it will come out covered. sometimes they look good, things like that golf above, as said, are trying to hard. IMO.
5hane Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 this is cool http://retroscenemag.com/image.axd?picture=TempStyle-Image1.jpg for some stupid reason its not appearing..

Slammed Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 them vw boys are in a league of their own awsome
Von Loxlee Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 rat is awesome but just like every style, some people get it really wrong. as for the mirror, i had to weld an extra piece on my brakcet to make it wider, might be worth trying that
emu Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Im sure many of you will have seen this before
mr.mk1 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 LOVE IT! Always have, always will. My Current daily driver Estate is rolling as i found it, Just Low on wide wheels, and the minimalist amount of repair to get it road legal. People say its lazy..Matt black is Lazy. Its just as hard to keep a rat authentic as it is to keep a showcar mint. Heres some nice links with nostalgic cars included: http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewto ... 50&t=17949 http://www.nzdatsun.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=587 Im Mr.mk1 and Seen-the_light.
djstaffy Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Here's pic of my daily driver sat between 2 mint escorts !! original 59 paint mostly!! Djstaffy
rsdaz Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 the vw boys do this so well,im not overly keen on matt paint but i love the cars which have plenty of patina.does anyone remember that mk1 cortina that was in classic ford a year or so ago, that was probably the best example of a rat osf i have seen,i'l try and find some pics of it.
D-FENS Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 I can understand if you dont have funds to get your car resprayed ,or buy an OSF and just want to run round in it but to create the look , i just dont get it.I would prefer fairly shiney any day .
Mr Sam Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Im sure many of you will have seen this before that is unvelieveably awsome!!! for the front end alone!!! it looks like a train wheels toalyy dont suit it, needs some banded steels FTW rusty ones at that
dannysmk1 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 satin black mk1 estate.. it now has 7jx13 superlights on the rear and fronts have 6jx13minilights
