Newbie - Rat Look MK2 VW Jetta

[mr2jay]

Hey Guys,

I know this is going to be a bit marmite but I thought I would join up to help keep my darling Rat on the road.

She started life as a £300 MK2 Jetta in dark metallic blue. To say she was tired would be kind with lacquer peel, dents, rusty bits as well as some interesting maintenance items (head lining stapled in place, odd LED dash lighting etc)

So, bought her and got to work making my own Rat car. Well along the way now including rusting up a few bits, spraying her matte black and attacking her with stickers but I have a fair way to go yet. Coilovers are on the list as well as a VR6 conversion at a later date if I can get her solid enough to last a few years.

So, here she is as she started

And now, after a lot of work, as she is now :p

Hope I don't get flamed too badly - got as long way to go yet on her ;)

Flamed for what?

Welcome to VWAF - I'm a big fan of rat look when done right.

Thanks Guys - Thought you may have been against the look judging by the standard of some of the cars on here.....

Been busy over the weekend on her. Think I might start a thread on the build for you - you can see the complete transformation then
