A not-so-traditional "Rat Rod"

[SpasticDwarf]

Hey guys. Thought I'd sign up and show my stuff. You may or may not like it, but I love it, so here goes.

Its an E28 BMW 535i, and the pictures pretty much sum it up.

 

[SpasticDwarf]

Let me know what you think.

I'm pretty sure they would love this car over on the hamb.

Lose the vise grip. It falls off in traffic someones gonna get hurt and someones gonna get sued. You're right it's not a Rat, just a clapped out Bimmer.

Okay, so "clapped out bimmer" it is.

One way or the other, it's ratty for sure. Does it run good? Wonder if there are any ratty Rolls out there?

Welcome Mburroughs...I think you're alittle weird..and I like that in a person!!
Looks to me like you're havin fun, keep it up. Life's too short to sweat small stuff!!

 

[Arkansawer]

Its different thats for sure. But i kinda like it and I like how the rust has "tiger" stripes. Id name it Tigger.

One question though, how the hell do you turn with it that low? Or do you raise it before you turn?

I really like the lowered trailer!

 

[FlatBroke]

It is outside the box ...that is 4-sure...

car and trailer.........2 thumbs up




keep havin fun

I like it, but definitely tell us about that trailer...

My first thoughts were.......WTF????? As I scrolled through the pics it started to grow on me. I like it. I like things that are different. I have a BM'r friend that I need to how this to. I'm sure he would love it. Keep up the work and be sure to keep us up to date on the progess or digression of this unique car. Oh, BTW, Love the trailer.

i like it ..nice style

 

[Sam_Fear]

Yep. Thumbs up from me! I agree with DMW - loose the channel locks - unsafe. Unless of course you weld one on to each corner for curb feelers!

It may not be a rat, but it sure has character. So what does one call a late model ratty vehicle?

Welcome aboard.

 

[ANNAMEL]

I like it. Why not,

 

[Thunder1]

Thumbs up here too! It's got character thats for sure. Not a rat but it does do a great job at thumbing a nose at the rich trendy set.

I like the car and the photography. Nice job.

 

[Bonehead]

Yep, sorry it is not a rat.... but if it had red wheels?.....

 

[BruceR&C]

Not a rat but,,,,very different. Way outside the box. As long as you like it,,,,go for it.

btw,,,,leither lose the visegrips as sugested or make them permanent.

I saw this over on the hamb, it didn't seem to go over to well for some reason but i like it and love the trailer even more.
