its all a matter of opinion and youve stated yours.

IN MY OPINION this is one of the coolest cars i have ever seen:

Rat Look can work and I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out

Look pal, you can't really be a judge on what looks good and what doesn't on my van going on your very own past styling crimes.

Will you be at PVS? If so come have a look around, and then you can take the piss to me. Maybe you'll be funny in person?

Yeah and then sprinkling salt on it. Got any other tips for speeding up the process?

u waiting for the whole thing too rust on it so that no paint is visible.

i thoguht you would start out with a white bonnet as i think it may look quite cool to have it like half rusted so you can still see the white through it.

TBH i couldnt see this being pulled off, but looking at the bonnet now with that kind of pattern on it I can see where you were coming from

Its looking

so far, think its going to look really good when done.

Ive never seen another Corsa like it, so I think its going to look cool and different for a corsa when done.

The bonnet seems to be coming on, i am intrigued to see how it will turn out as it doesnt look as neat as the other examples shown.

Still though i doubt it will "fit in" with the rest of the car, it seems that there will be 2 different things going on a fully modded euro corsa and a partially ratted car.

if you want it to rust faster then get some road salt onto it instead of kitchen salt

jimmy - all credit for bringing different influences together and pushing things forward.

if no-one ever pushes the boundaries the scene will never evolve.

i wish it would rust quicker so we could see it on the van!

Sand off the galvanizing layer.

Never really been a big fan of this van if im honest with you but recently ive kept an eye on it and love the red wheels, and I really like the new ideas, especially the roof rack, just need some old fashioned suitcases or surfboard or something to sit on it

Although I like the sound of it and hoping it does, but im just not sure if the bonnet will work with the rest of the flawless bodywork but looking forward to seeing it on. Keep it up fella
