Polish drivers are getting interested in the new car-tuning style - so-called “rat” style, when in a car with an old rusty body, insert a new powerful engine. Also, with classical adding of spoilers, antiwings and new expensive wheels.
Such an example Poles have taken from the Americans, but went even further - the individuality of “rusty” car is being achieved with intended actions of crushing and destruction of the body. Special chemicals are helping to cover the car with rust within several days. In doing so, rust should not become an obstacle to driving qualities of the machine.

So, apparently, the old car has the powerful and modern power units inside. For example, an old Volkswagen “Beetle“, presented at the photos, got V6 motor under the hood, which is taken from the Porsche 911.
In contrast to body parts the engine compartment, brakes and suspension are in perfect condition. Salons of the “rusty” cars are usually performed in the style of the time when the car was created.
Most often in such a way Poles shape old Volkswagen Golf, Opel Kadett and other urban compacts. On the body of such machines they hang a label “Do not recycle“ what is quite reasonable – who knows if someone decides to send them for scrap metal.
Meanwhile, some wealthy car owners, by contrast, wished to give their cars more luxurious look. For them London specialists from Alchemist company cover the roof with 24-carat gold. The cost of such services starts from 15 700 euro.
