Faux Rust Moskvich [pics]

[octagonalpaul]

I'm not particularly a fan of the full fake body rust thing, but this car has enough other touches to stand out.

Pretty cool, shame about the lack of paint, looks like it's a few months from the scrap yard.

Very cool.

Seeing as we don't know what condition it was in when he started the build, how much it cost, what his future plans are or how much he paid I don't see the point of slating it for a lack of paint. As I've said before, it's not that you're not allowed an opinion - it's rather that what's being said is boring and pointless. Don't like the rust-look?, then imagine it in paint or even better - save one and do it how you want!

Taking cars most people wouldn't think twice about scrapping (including a lot of classic fans or, indeed, the very people that feel the need to slate this one) and turning them into a feature/thread worthy motors on a limited budget is a win from where I'm sitting.

That looks amazing! Love it.... Cool car, nice treatment. Ok, deliberate rusting isn't really for everyone, but personally I like it.

Actually very tempted to do this to a car myself..... Annoyingly would have to be something I didn't really like though. Hmmm, now where are the keys to the E36?

hmmm I'm now thinking of reverse rat look as in the whole car in rust apart from 1 painted panel

...it looks like a Talbot Solara took a Renault 20 up a dark alley and took photos of the result on a FED?

Not noticed before but they are a really well proportioned car, the lows and the wheels are spot on and for the record I like the rust. Very cool car!

I was thinking Alpine/Fuego ;D

[TopJobHobNob]

I just see a normal moskovich

[barrett]

Bumpity-Bump!

Just found a pic of this in a slightly earlier guise. I'm really not a fan of heavily cambered wheels (which makes my own choice of car seem really sensible, eh?) and I reckon it looked MUCH better like this. I think the stance is actually perfect here



I still think it would look better in paint, but it's still pretty fuggin' cool

I love it how it is now, too much tyre and not low enough to pull off the look it was going for in the earlier guise, now it sits right. Someone needs to find a Talbot Solara.

I keep thinking of doing that with my ratty polo, and I've got a brand new bonnet that's still in factor primer..... of course a car that looks like its hanging with a shiny new bonnet cant be rat look can it ;D ;D

I'm pretty sure the problem is all Talbot Solaras went through this look unintentionally sometime around the late '80s/early '90s...

[PandaSelecta]

Not a solara, but this alpine didnt sell today.....
