Hi first post ever I think, I just got this junker of a Taurus for about 2k and I want to make it a junkyard style build or rat rod idk what to call it but any advice would be welcome, I’m fairly new to mechanics, I came from heavy duty looking to get into automotive for a hobby and figured this would be a good start

Look up Gambler 500. It’s similar to the concept of rat rods. I’m sure someone’s built a gambler Taurus before or something similar off of that platform

Oh awesome thank you thank you, I’ve been trying to find terms similar to ratrod because I know a Taurus wouldn’t be one but idk what else to call it

Duratec or Vulcan is the question? Duratec we're in business, Vulcan send it off a cliff

Awe damn it’s a Vulcan:/

Big oof good luck

Good luck. They have weird curves making it hard to look more masculine

I was just planing on lifting it and sanding it down so the weather rusts it out completely
100KiloBearPress@reddit
I seriously wouldn’t try lifting it even for a joke. Maybe just the rear wheels LOL

See this is the advice I came looking for

You could get spinner rims from the early 2000s or even spinner hubcaps. Put some Robocop stickers on it. The original Robocop used flat black Taurus

Maybe I’ll even put on 30” rims too

Oh noooooooooo I’m loving the shit idea
StrategyJealous2174@reddit (OP)
Not trying to make it masculine just shitty
100KiloBearPress@reddit
Good news for you. They came that way

I would start with 2 decades of neglected maintenance and go from there.

Already started! Got a couple codes cleared just wanted an interesting build
