As already said, its cool but at what point does it become 'trying too hard'  |

If he found it in that state (bar the stickers, lowering etc) then yeah its cool. If it was beaten to within an inch of its life to look like that then not so cool. Driver and Car look like a perfect partnership. |

i like, even if it does look a bit over done, chrome wheels ruin the effect a bit.

Put it this way, if it was to approuch me at a block of garages on a dark evening I would be slightly nervous! It is trying too hard.

Yeah, but you do live in Corby lol. A Reliant Robin approaching me in a dark block of garages in Corby would have me Sh*tting myself.
But then again you're probably not a complete wuss like me.

there must be a line between "rat look" and unsafe! Cool as a cool thing on a british summers day though!

Definately extreme, though I don't think I'd call that "Trying too hard".
I'd keep that reserved for clean & otherwise immaculate cars with one or two panels rubbed back to primer or bare metal, with an unlikely number of fastidiously collected accessories.
Or nice straight, non-rusted panels/cars stripped of ALL paint & allowed to rust.
Both completely artificial, that car at least looks authentic.....
Reminds me of my brothers old Peugeot 404; for his first car he wanted a cheap car he didn't have to care about its appearance, incase it got damaged. He got the cheap car then had to spend considerably more than it was worth getting it roadable & bringing it back from a death it deserved.

Like this alot, is it true the body is not faked/forced? Even if it is, i don't think its 'trying to hard', but i do think the seats are a bit curse word and look too fake.

Mine will be like that in time (in time, meaning that it won't be "forced" - the rust is coming along very nicely! ) likewise, mine's looking a bit sorry for its self now. thats pretty cool but i think it would look better without the stickers and with banded stock rims. but thats just me. |
