I've always liked the rat look, never had the chops to try it out so will be having a play on my rustiest Gemini parts wagon... (have enough sub standard parts to replace everything I steal off it)
Sold the bonnet so will be having a ferrous oxide red bonnet in its place, stealing bumpers for my red work wagon so will have the crappiest plastic gemini bumpers I have.
Has some excellent aged stickers on the back and several old repairs/scrapes/scratches/dings that will lend themselves well to the ratty look. Also have some nice leather seats with cracks in the leather and split seams... Scored a rust spotted chrome air filter for it for free the other day... will be looking for some of the fore mentioned roof racks pref cheap or free... basicly want this car to not cost me anything (much) and will likely sell it @ Kumeu come summer... assuming me and my mate can bodge up the rust repairs and get it legal... reckon if we can pull off the rat look successfully I should be able to get $1500 for it which I can then fund a new paintjob on one of the cars with... anyway thats the plan, we'll see.
Will be trawling the interweb for all the cliche rat job touches I can put on this car without going too far overboard...
Any suggestions or offers of parts will be welcome.
Just keen on recuing it rather than stripping/scrapping it...
