ive just searched for them, but cant find them?
the ones that were 'all' rusty with the barrel on the roof, and the '76' writ in marker pen on the side?
oh, feel free to post pics of other 'ratty' or 'tuff' or matt balck golfs on this thread.
I'm just trying to show a mate what my golf will look like!

I'm on the lookout for a 1.3 mk2, with either a bit of tax and test somewhere in the counrty, OR one with no tax and test thats nearby (that would pass MOT)
gotta be 1.3

do you think if you rubbed all the paint off, let it go rusty outside for a couple of weeks, then sprayed (or brushed I suppose!) matt-finish lacquer on you could preserve this look without the car suffering structurally?

according to what ive heard.
they rub them back to bare metal, throw salt water over them, leave them to an acceptable level of rustyness, then wax them with some wax or other.
oh, and as for people looking at you thinking what a rusty car, i couldnt care less, ill have it safe in my mind that i have a car that is so cool they couldnt even comprehend the coolness of it, ive never really give 2 flying sh*ts what everyone else thought and I'm not going to start now ;D ;D

Ok - lets all engage our brains again shall we. Jimmy Shine built a bare-metalled truck and it was cool. How does it stay like that? 'Cos he keeps it under cover and he lives in stinking hot California. I've often thought about clear-coat over bare metal but I think you might lose the effect. If some silly men in Germany try to do it then the car goes rusty and rust... and I apologise for generalising here... is bad. They're effectively wrecking what appear to be some perfectly good golfs as they won't last for very long like that. edit... I'm well aware that they're trying to make them rusty but still? I also don't believe wax can completely protect the shell... certainly not on a long-term basis.

So do they get it to rust a bit and then by some miracle stop the rust in it's tracks? I can't help thinking that they're all just gonna rot away sooner rather than later. Looks cool, but I just worry

id like to think i didnt care what people thought about my car but if you can actually see people pointing and laughing id probably start rethinking my "i don't care" attitude.
its the same with the westfield I'm saving for. its an awesome car but I'm not sure i like the idea of everyone looking at me while driving it. and thats with people looking at it with good oppinions, i hate to think what it would be like with people looking at it and laughing

but they clearly do, the linde bus has been going for years, its only surface rust you see on these cars, they are all structuarlly solid and the rust they have on them is purely cosmetic. its let get to a certain level, and then treated so it doenst get worse.
my mk2 is going matt beige, but thats only because i havent got the time or effort to be going proper rat look, as i want to spend as much time and money sorting the escor tout ;D
but damn, id love a proper ratty rustbuckets like them golfs
