Does it have a big ass motor? Yes it has a V8 shoved in the back.

Does it have a crappy paint job?? Yes look at the picture of it and you’ll see.

Does it have after market wheels??? Yes 16 inch American racing wheels.

Is it lowered???? Yes it is lowered.

So the question I’m asking is, is my bus onn it’s way to being a rat yet. If not what else needs to be done.
Thanks

hmm i think take the big bullbar off the front and get a chrome smaller one.....and lower it a bit :thumb

hmmm. Yeah loose the bullbar.

slam it some more lose the bullbar and your pretty much there.

maybe you should start a poll...
should i lose the ugly monster roo bar?
guess which way i'm votin...

get some old curtains from vinnies, loose the bar and lower some more

Maybe some flaps at the least, back to smoothies at the most..

I’m a boy therefore I don't have flaps and for the smoothies I don't know what they are.

Where's the rust?

you got to get a retro old school 60s bullbar to hold your radiator and a bit of spray rust "check the rats on american sites i got a guy that can make a copy bull bar for you.
And how about a big "say" tony hawk or powell peralta transfer stuck on the side like an old skate support bus and spray the black over it and sand it back so it looks like its been weather worn from the early 80s
anyone got my vision?

Yeah get some mad transfers on the side ... maybe an independent sticker down the side ...

Lose the bullbar ... and maybe get a chrome 3" nudge bar ... mmmm sweet

What are some other sweet transfers?!?!?!

http://www.oldschoolskateboards.net/tshirts.htm  for some ideas ...

...built to grind ... or ride my 10" ... though these may be looked upon by the law enfocement community in a negative light

maybe i am wrong, i thought rats were all about original worn and faded paint and interior with to many accesories and a wild hidden running gear so poeple think that you are in a worn out old crapper and when the lights go green you can stick it up those fire crackers from japan.
none the less i like whats happening with this aussie rat looker. on bays i like the look of the sun visor, and i have seen somewhere that you can get front door window visors for bays that would be cool ,oh and a spoiler like the one on the indians panel got to love that

Needs lots of surface rust to be rat. Anyway, it's a nice ride!

thanks guys for the comments. can't loose the BB i need it. am def going the old skool stickers, and getting the rust fixed and getting it re painted matte black.

if you're keeping the bullbar (eeegh) mebbe spray some shellac fake rust on it with a squirt bottle and see if it helps at all. definately go the matt black, and a huge sticker on the side, either old commercial style or funky skate motif.... hell this one's even making me want to design it....

and post progress of course..:thumb

Uhh.. Flaps = Whitewall inserts.

Not female genetils.

Smoothies are normal dome style hubcaps.
