Finally new rims. To bad they didnt come with low profile tyres. Soon changing into 175x35 or something to get the right strech and profile to get it slammed.

Started on roof rack also today which will be done tomorrow. Pictures will come. Hopefully one day, youll jaws will be scrapin the asfalt ;D


Also, for those interested. Started with the doormounted subwoofer enclosure


4mm thick steel plated which has been cnc made to get a perfect fit around the subwoofer. This is then welded on to the door. Mind you the subwoofers going in the door are only 6" tang band subs so rebuilding the whole door is in fact not necessary.

I''ll say it; I'm not digging the hood extension, rusted hood or yellow lights. But over all, pretty sick car, awesome wheels and great stereo work!

Haha, the car looks like it was eaten then shat out again and it survives anything. This car has undergone moar abuse than a 1960s prostitute, hence the sled from hell.

Any tips on how to rust the rest of the car and how to stop it (i know you cant stop it, but atleast partially)

You can use Ospho to stop the rust.. Mix it with Diesel to adjust the color. RE more Diesel will make the Browns darker. The Ospho will turn white when it get damp. To stop this you can use a flat or satin clear coat to seal it and stop the rust.

My car had a fire so I lost alot of paint on the front clip. you can use a propane torch to bubble the paint then a grinder with 24 to 60 grit disks to sand off the paint..

To make rust fast you can use Vinegar or Hydrogen peroxide with sea salt. then rinse it to get a lighter rust.. Diesel can also be used - a soaked rag to clean the surface and stop the rusting.

stop stripping paint enough with the god damn rust vbullshit mike did it and made it look proper on rusty doesnt mean everyone else has too do it

what happened to quality paint and body work

[tmolberg]

Quality paint and body work in norway? Forget it. The expenses of getting a car 100% clean in norway is very remote. But we'll see what happens

And regarding mike getting rusty to look good. Thats whats wrong with this place, everyone wants rusty back and noone cant follow in his footprints. Every car is diffrent in every way, so you'll have to wait and see. A project car dosent get finished right away.

@Bam2002 - Thanks for the advice, i'll take it too use very soon :-D

[P78]

u need to space out those ronals will look heaps better

seeing ur new wheels, this looks like it's going in a good direction, however angry look hood is a no

[tmolberg]

On it ;D changing hood is into consideration as the badlook didnt quite work out as i wanted it too.
However rusted hood is staying no matter what.

[X5X]

I actually like the angry look hood, rust and yellow headlights, but with the interior, they are two clashing styles which could not be any more opposite (rat/rust=old, clean/hightech=new) but I think the rusted body could look good

[DCJodon]

Am I on the right website? Unless subwoofers lower your mk3, not a single fuck will be given.

[Neil]

I tihnk you should just paint it a matte colour because the rust makes it look like ass in my opinion.

Has nothing too do with following foot steps. It has to do with some cars follow the style and look cool. If you read the story rusty was made because the car was in an accident soo he figured why not have fun with it.. He didnt intentionally scrape all the paint off a perfect car too look like that imop i think its stupid what you did but hey too each there own you wanna drive around looking like shit thats your choice

[tmolberg]

Haha djjoden, actually the weight in the back is lowering by around 1-2cm. Im estimating around 150kgs worth of audio equipment (just in the back)

On a another note i got the roofrack up and running.


Works like a charm, just missing some brown paint or whatever.

Also for those thinking the car was in 100% shape before i rusted the hood. Think again. Theres some rust (small spots) around the car.

For those who think stance is having a beautiful car with perfect paint and slammed as low as you can get it. I disagree. As long as its slammed im happy.
Just keep watching and maybe some day everyone will be pleased.

Even Jesus himself

[blowntwofive]

well to each there own but i think youve ruined a potentionally great car

[tmolberg]

So tell me, what do you suggest I do then. I still have all the orginal parts (exterior), hood and the logolip (whatever its called)

I think you are going in the right direction. If you want a daily driver that you dont need to worry about door dings , want it to look like a beater so no one breaks into the car and steals the stereo. Im not saying looking like a beater is a bad thing.. It can be done so the car is different.

It appears that most people here like to lower then shine and drive. The car goes to shows and endless hours go into cleaning. No problem if that is what you are into.
I have more fun with my Rusty BMW than the nice near perfect 2002 or Bavaria, with a nice car you have to be careful where its parked. Time spent detailing it for a car show. There are some of us that have cars for a set purpose, IE car shows and then ones as drivers. So the drivers dont need to be perfect.

The rusty car gets as much attention because its different and the only care and feeding is on the mechanical side. So those of us that liked rustys looks, we are doing out own versions. There is room in the world for more than one rusty. Just like there is room on this board for the 100s of lowered BMW E36s.. Or Mercedes.. Something that really I am at a loss with.. Take a luxury car that rides nice then lower it and make it ride like crap.
Just my 2 cents.
