Thats a sick Mk3, damn sick. I do agree however about the holes, that does suck, but until then, you’ll be lookin “ratty”! haha. Its a shame we cant just invent a paint method for this look/feel… (though I’m sure its possible, if not already done.)

Why would just donig the hood look good? I think what this guy or gal did is pretty cool.. Hope they got another ride with nice paint to even out the looks they are gonna get.

I really kinda like it. It gives it personality.

thats just to much… i’ve seen some vw’s where only the hood is done and it doesn’t look bad… but thats just nuts… your car will have holes eventually.

Notice that most of the haters commenting here barely have a grip on the English language? I like the concept of the VW rat moving up to the MKIV models. Well done.

Very cool. Real rust or just paint doesn’t matter it still looks cool.

i think this whole rust thing looks like crap but really in a way it makes this vw look like a rat rod witch is pretty cool just not my style

The old barn find look ey?

Cyle85

man the rims and tires are what sets the car off and makes it look old school with the rust.

That is one bad ass vw. Hood ride style.

not to knock it but it looks like it was at a bottom of a lake somewhere for a few years then brought back to life. definately different though

Chevyboy4
Apr 16, 2009 at 6:25 pm

it’s definatly unique. not likng the rims and white walls though

Its Both Funny 2 see but really badass…its a new style brought out i think u can win some prizes wit dat at carshows
Theres a bunch of words that can describe this but… i cant come up wit one hahahaha
nice ride bro

Apr 16, 2009 at 4:10 pm

the excessive stickers and ridiculous roof racks filled with junk are trademark of this style as well..

01civic505
Apr 16, 2009 at 4:07 pm

I like it.. i’ve already seen a lot of this.. its a VW mostly thing but i’ve seen all kinds of European cars with rusted body panels.. always intentional.. its sort of like a rat-rod.. i guess its finally coming (back) to the states.. i wont rust my ride but i definitely like this rat..

BASHLINE
Apr 16, 2009 at 3:07 pm

not a bad look i guess. I like the busted up front end, one fog light and all. but what will happen 5-10 years from now? the body will be all rusted to nothing?

SingledOutJ30
Apr 16, 2009 at 1:08 pm

haha, Its okay but you wouldn’t catch me behind the wheel. Nothing wrong with being different.

matty_17
Apr 16, 2009 at 12:31 pm

ya know this kinda reminds me of how the ricers pay money for their car to sound like its got the exhaust rusted off it…in this case you go to work sanding off your (usually) perfectly good paint to watch it rust so you are ‘custom’. Different yes, smart…probably not!

gold94corolla
Apr 16, 2009 at 8:36 am

The hippies are coming back!!! Those tires are definitely painted white… and of course it has to have a roof rack full of junk. Boy though, I bet he leaves his rusty mark all over the ground when it rains.

MyGeoPrizmRox
Apr 16, 2009 at 8:30 am

Im sorry people, but is it really necessary to bash on this guy because he decided to do something different? Honestly, i think it is fairly unique, even if i don’t really agree with how he did that. Yea, it may rust out, but his choice is his choice. What you may consider ugly he may consider pretty cool.

-Good job on the rather unique VW

Apr 16, 2009 at 8:08 am

Lot of haters here. you gotta open your mind.

This isn’t shit that’ll melt the pussy because it looks so good, it’s just all the elements of the vagabond traveler idea in one. That’s a car that I want to get into and roadtrip.

Probably not a new style but a cool personalised piece of art.

cubefx
Apr 16, 2009 at 8:06 am

It is different and it is cool. Definitely one of a kind. By the way triangle “Y” sign on the roof is symbol for the “Student Driver” in the Russia

A good hip trend to follow. No, definitely no!

What are these people going to do when rust isn’t “cool” anymore and there is some other trend going on and all they have is a rusty P.O.S?

There is no way this looks good. I have taken better lookn dumps than this.

The third pic looks as if someone picked up some crap and just smeared it on the car, then used water and a dirty towel to even it out.

that thing would never pass a safty check

Garage510
Apr 15, 2009 at 10:38 pm

albania_fier, strip off all the paint and primer, wash off the chemicals with water, and leave it to the elements without drying it up. It will look that way in a few days. Easy, isn’t it?

albania_fier
Apr 15, 2009 at 9:46 pm

im just wondering how long it takes to get it that rusty!

Apr 15, 2009 at 9:34 pm

I Agree with fortyfordsedan if it was painted to look like rust it would be Kick A$$ But.. nah real rust aint cool.

fortyfordsedan
Apr 15, 2009 at 8:39 pm

I kinda like the look and would be all about it if it were painted to look rusted, but actual rust just doesnt do it for me. I like the red wheels, and I was excited to see the wide whites, until I looked closer. Is it just me or do they look painted on, well there go my hopes of finding wide whitewalls on a tire with a thinner profile the a 75 series tire.

Atleast I will still have a car a year from now, your’s will be long rotted away by then. I can’t beleive people are this stupid to do this to a car and think it’s cool. Christ, don’t you have anything better to do?

JoeCool97Formula
Apr 15, 2009 at 7:35 pm

WTF?! Most people try to prevent rust, then fight to get rid of it if it starts, NOT MAKE IT!

Wow, Looks like my rusted out, beat up, multi colored ’93 Dodge Spirit just made the cool status with the latest fad and I didn’t even do anything to it!!!! lol. Seriously, I wasn’t keen on the rusted hood thing, but when you do the whole car like this, it looks sick!!! Wouldn’t take it out in the rain or snow though. It might develop holes like my Dodge.

You want a cool looking car?

Pop some surfboards on the roof of it, lower it, put a massive camber on it, almost VIP style, and leave the rust.

Now THAT would be cool.

This VW is just taking it too far.
