i like it man, it could even go under the topic of how to ratify a beetle :thumb good to see some one being different

Sam
You certainly did wreck Your Beetle...
and why wasn't the "W" deck lid on Your oval?? painted yellow I mean.....
Well, the "der nueburg Volks Klub" won't have many members with cars like that showing up on "SHOW & Shine "days....
I think You got it ALL wrong Sam.....
You should have called Your club the
"Rat look car club" and then the other 3 beetles could have stayed at Home......

I forgot to say that I don't like ratty look anything......
Do a car up and You get praise, do a car down & You go down with it....
Everyone knows It takes time & money to keep a car nice & shiny & detailed...
It takes nothing to look like a RAT....
If You want to be a RAT... go right ahead..
I won't be looking at Your car.....

If someone said You can buy that rat look beetle for $100, with ratty seats different coloured doors etc... or a nice beetle
- All ONE colour, nice re upholstered interior, for $500 .. which one would You buy if You had $500 ????
I would like to be sitting in the nice seats, in a one coloured car... Perfect...
The Rat look is for cars that Have NOT been restored.... not unrestored!!

well said, i fully agree!68AutoBug wrote:The Rat look is for cars that Have NOT been restored.... not unrestored!!
my idea of rat look is a car that has been dragged out of a shed/barn/field/swamp.... and simply made driveable, not cleaned or painted or messed with at all apart from road worthiness requirements......and maybe some wheels and a motor 😉
the idea of changing parts around to 'create' a rat lok car doesn't quite make sense to me.
kai
p.s. my opinion is not intended to cause offence to anyone, it's just my opinion.
twoguns ·
the idea is to have 'your' expression of ride. not the general concensus. certainly makes for a more entertaining car show when you have dubs with all sorts of finishes and qualities. not the 'gfk' style where all cars are done to the same format. not there is anything wrong with that concept either. it is also an accepted part of our community. rats, cal look, stock, german, and of course the piece of shit daily driver. they are all equal in my book.
what to you see the next evolution of bus80y. i am sure many will not agree, but it is mine.

The rat look is super individual. I think it is the best way to express your individuality without mega mega bucks.
I appreciate the work that goes in to making the car look as balanced or possibly unbalanced look as possible.
I suppose if you see a beetle painted in the newish Ford Blueprint colour, you can go and get yours done the same.
A rat can't be copied.
Keep up the good work. 😀 :thumb
I must be a bit like my cat. I like shiny things too. 😉

people.... this is a RAT forum.
go for it VWFOOL 😀:thumb
Don't be tempted by the minions of gloss and retrimming 😀
"the farce is strong in this one.."
I like the rusted with chrome look, body straight, dumped, diff panels, paint worn thin, and perfect chrome that says "i made it this way on purpose". the clincher is an insanely hot motor, and mebbe one accessory, like a bazooka. or ICBM on the front seat.
might have to go lob a bucket of paint stripper over at the paint and body peeps.... brb 😀
(have you ever met those old people who sit and watch the dreadful programming and immoral pornographic tv shows they hate, hour after hour after hour; seems silly, huh?) 😉

yeah you might take the piss out of the rat look, but when sam turned up at the euro day and everyone was standing around the ferrari all chubbed, all the attention turned straight to the rat, oh yes!, at that exact moment I knew who would take out the peoples choice award!. it was like mosses, everyone just parted which led him down to the german display! but when he got out and put the "Admire but dont touch" sign on his window, you know this rat was here to impress! lol ! Just needed the spider webs on the wheel arch sam, but you know that you got my vote!!:jesus
Peter Leonard ·
we rats are lean, mean, and dirty. not like the soft, overfed housebroken ones over there in the shiny area :P
in fact, I have already been on a raid, bandit style, and have returned unscathed with my loyal posse bwahahhahha!!!
all jokes aside, helbus is doing a very shiny job over there in the paint and body section, and may even inspire me to replace some bits. with rusty ones 😉

Well I suppose if you see anyone who is going to replace panels with super straight clean ones, make sure you grab the scraped and mismatched coloured ones. Even the ones that have had small repairs and primer patches.
I would consider it a form of recycling?
Yeah? :thumb

Jeebers Lee, do people say to you that you wrecked your car cause you painted your engine red and yellow? It's YOUR car, so you do with it as YOU please..
So what is so different with Sam.. I think you need to broaden your mind a little.
Sam, nice job brother.. Probably not something I would have done, but that doesn't mean that it both doesn't look mad or is a bad thing..
These cars will attract attention people, and if you don't think so, you wait and see..
With it or against it, it is simply an expression of ones car, so who are we to criticise? Each to their own.. How boring would it be otherwise?

firstly,
as most of u can see, this post started as a little bit of fun, nothing to be taken too seriously. im glad some of u had a laugh.
whilst i certainly dont feel the need to justify myself, it is MY car (and remember, its ONLY a car), and i can do as i please.
likewise, this is an open forum, and u can say wat u please.
but wat i will say is this.
everyone on this forum whose opinion i respect and wanted to hear from has responded in a friendly and supportive manner, and i couldnt be happier with the response.
as for the hater(s), take a good look at ur own backyard b4 u go dissing mine, to not like somethng is fine, but some comments r below the belt. im starting to think maybe in future i should be more vocal about my opinion on other people's projects i dont like or respect.
this is my first post that i hav seen cop some ridicule, this place has been friendly to me so far. i just wonder wat would hav been said if i told u about the 1916 and narrowed front beam...
😉have fun guys

Dude when I saw this I couldn't beleive it. I fell of my chair laughing!
don't take it the wrong way, I was laughing because it was such a brilliant idea carried out so well and the responses of some people were classic. Good on Ya for not going with the crowd and trying to stand out and be different. I love the rat look as it is totally unique and cannot be replicated, unlike all the shiny, stock standard cars that stand in a row at shows and all look the same and bore me zzzzzzzz...but if that's your thing go for it!
and as you said you shouldn't have to justify your actions to other people but if you be different you usually have to do so. I've had to justify my baja to people (VW people mostly but not always) who've started to get real snotty about how I wrecked a nice early 60's bug to make a horrible green THING...
...which by the way was the way it was when I got it and it has obviously had a minor ding in the front before the baja conversion. Once again Congrats on being a individual and being prepared to stand out! You RULE!😀:thumb😎😀:thumb
