i dont like forced rat look it doesnt have the same feel as a well used car thats been ressurected

this is my old 61 betle used every day when i had it rain snow or shine

it was left in a garden for 11 years then saved its body was restored to near mint new heater channels quarter panels floor pan halves ect just with the old doors and wings anything non structural it had a fairly fat motor to keep up with saxos ect and i polished cleaned it every weekend if i ever found a part that was in better condition id get it to replace my broken bit

patina is about preservation ... not mutilation

It is all arbitrary.

Its a style that intends to be offensive especially to

people that meticulously wash and valet there cars. Only to have

some POS rusty dented rattle canned worthless 90's crap mobile

steal all the attention

Art cars is good term for some of the better ones.

The excellence is in the execution.

I can always appreciate a careful considered approach to modifying

whether it be with some paint stripper and hammer or some cutting polish and a mop.

As long as it is low enough I really don't care

i F*****g hate it.

especialy on new-ish cars. i can apreciate the older ones, like this splitty above ^

or if its just aged naturaly without throwing a load of paint stripper at it and attacking it with an angle grinder.

especialy like the ones with old buisness logo's on the side and theyve just been slammed on nice wheels...

i think its just a lazy way out/in to modifiying a car and have people think it looks okay.

but im a painter so i kind of would say this.. :)
