when i turned up with that fablon for the roof everyone at home told me it would look rubbish and i should be burned at the steak for suggesting it, but when it was on they went wild it gets loads of attention and it only cost £6!
How do i get it looking a bit rattyer? ive got to be careful with the front wings and panel as they might end up on the red one. do i just sand off some paint and make it rust? its got to look natural though like the Linde bus! any ideas?

I'm not sure theres a set way to rat your car.i just let my merc get worse by not attending to any of it.ever ;D however its a fine line between rat and rot. its been said that its harder to own a rat than a concours car. certain areas of the merc have gone too far and will need addressing before the mot. my 411 has got a checky roof which i don't really care for, but yours looks ace |

MMMM ive been thinking. The building i do my course in at uni is shared with all the arty farty course people. i wonder if i put a notice up i could get a graffiti artist to paint the sides. I'm thinking flaming Dice on the back of the rear quater and Retro-Rides down the side?! it would look ace! if they messed it up out with more matt black!

the best way (IMO) to rat the panels would be to... get down to the metal in some places, wet em and let em rust a little then get em somewhere DRY AND WARM until the panel has completely stopped its diet of rust... then seal it with matt lacquer or wax...  any other ideas ? not very practical for a daily driver i wouldnt have thought  |

I'm in love with this car! <not in a gay-way > I'm in love with it...in a completely gay way  Anyone see the VW caddy/pickup/thingy that was in RC a couple of months ago? Looked like it had been painted in hammerite with 'rat-look' graffito'd down each side. In the weeds too. This Chevette is The Win by the way. Just needs whitewalls, fluffy dice and a 76 Aerial Ball. *n |

Nearly had an accident in the trouserage department when I saw that roof..... l 8-)vin' it!!
|

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault. |

its true 99% of people laugh or call it a load of curse word but its cool when people get it. I'm a bit nervous about having it on the stand at the Swansea show as its a bit posh. i don't want people going "whos let this kid in with his curse word old car with a fablon roof. SECURITY"

Well its certainly going to be intertesting,.. We'll have the Shove-it and a Marina at least,.. a Ford Cortina Mk4 or a Vovlo 240 ,.. A Vauxhall Firenza Droopsnoot (hopefully, ade hasn't been around much) and a VW Beetle. Plus whatever I'm bringing (if I've got it by then) ... certainly going to ruffle a few feathers. Still we've got 1000% more right to be there than the Saxo, Corsa etc. stand that was there last year. Hell we've got more right to be there than the MX5 stand! We are entry level classic motoring! |
