Nope. But I am saying patina can look awesome.

Going through the last couple pages, apart from the slammed doublecab there's three or four others in the entire lot that could be classified as ratty and the one ghia with the poor headlight conversion is the only one that actually looks like shit. The beetle on radars is dope as hell with so many classic parts, the square on the ground, even this shot is one of the best photos in the entire thread.

I think a bit of history on a classic car can be just as attractive as a show quality paint job but if you have a problem, don't whine - post what you feel is dope.
