The Rat look is only just starting in South Africa. Obviously because we can still buy new MK1's alot of the guys are worried about their warranties etc.

The either try go Euro or OEM+ with the cars.

A mate of mine is busy with a 1979 MK1 2-Door rat. Will try post some pics a bit later this evening.

My old, old ratty runabout. All genuine wear and tear, no matt black or salted panels on this one. True rat style-thats why its in the big scrapyard in the sky now :-( Not a patch on those old bugs and that though.

you say that, but looking at those pics it has as much road presents and character as the air cooled rats posted, it may not be covered in rust and random roof rack shit, but it looks old, tatty, used, and cool as fuck. which imo is what its all about 8-)

Don't get me wrong I chuffin well loved that caddy, and its look. Special body/paint techniques were employed by some mad farmer, gave it that ratty look you can't do on purpose. All the local chavvy crew used to snigger at the lights in their escorts etc and then get smoked by a rusty knackered looking caddy lol. Good old gti motor.

Heres a couple more pics I've found

I think Caddys pull it off as well, but its a different 'rat look'. Like its a more modern version of it. Normally works cause they've been used as work horses and not really been cared about aesthetically.

let the rocco rust. There rubbish!

how many cool cars can you name that are actually any good? :lol:

Roccos are cool. If they were cool why would they have Sciroccaids?

If they were cool why would they have Sciroccaids?
