you should put in another set of pedals and start up a kombi driver learners buisness....

by any chance have you fitted a wheel yet, i ask cause im wodering how close the side of the tyre is to the swing axle plate on yours....

Cooooool! Love the rims and rubber bands.....165/45s?? You'll get very good at dodging potholes Josh.
Stock rims and caps, still looks like it IS what it IS, just slammed.

The beauty of the RAT concept for me is in it looking stock and period, but having the stance and driving like it has a lot of engineering to tell beneath.
The intrigue lies within the unseen...

Looks great fellas, can't wait to see the red interior with the ratty white exterior
