well, I have my mazda 1300, I literally dragged it onto a trailer from where it had been sitting for a few years in someones front yard - that was about 5 years ago.

it looks like its been in the weather for those years, and in a dusty, dirty shed for the last five.

its had the blown up 4 banger pulled out and a reasonably hot rotor put in (that I just happened to have sitting around for just such an occasion) and will soon have panels off at least 2 other different coloured cars on it.

so, since no-one from any of my usual forums is into the rat look, and Danielle is fairly regular on here, and I knew thios forum has a rat section... would my 1300 qualify as a rat?

hmmmm... lets see rat rod forum on a vw forum site!so i think that means vw rat rod.

take it to a mazda site, and post it there for fellow 'mazda enthusiast' to get off on. or if it was a transplant motor into a bug!!! :P

put a rotary in it then it would qualify......VW bought NSU and the rights to the wankel rotary engine. so the engine is a distant cousin or something.
