AN ECCENTRIC mechanic has converted a London taxi into a crazy rat-rod van in just seven days. 44-year-old Paul Bacon, from Leicestershire, spent £450 on a traditional black cab and with the help of some timber, fibreglass and expanding foam he managed to construct a rusty rat-rod that he now uses for work. It took Paul just a week to finish the project - and he admits that he can no longer drive around his local town without receiving a few strange looks.

The man has a beautiful mind. The van is an example on how creative Paul is. Beautiful job Paul.
That’s incredible, to see something like that over here in the uk just goes to show that we still have some incredibly talented individuals over here.
BRILLIANT in such a short time well done mate 👍
He made this in 7 days for only 1000£ ?
Just wow!
That would make a badass jeepers creepers truck for the movie
I like how he put the steering wheel on the wrong side ! Cool ride!
Best original custom I've seen in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Car customizing is bringing the world together in another way just like food or sports
THIS is the type of content I subscribed for...
Dude I love that thing!!!
Great craftsmanship looks awesome!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
7 days! You are a true artist... Bravo!
now ive always fancied a taxi to convert ,that looks so cool
I think Paul did a very good job. I will agree with some of the comments that I've read it's more of rat rod replica. But no matter how you look at the picture. It's still a beautiful piece of art so I do believe he deserves that kind of respect I believe his mind is a beautiful place (eccentric if you will ) but if anything obviously it has attracted certain viewers . Paul is trying to tell you what he has done maybe on a limited budget? How you can build whatever your heart and mind desires and that never ever let anyone tell you you can't if you look deeper into the story that's what he's trying to tell you. I'm not preaching i'm just expressing my opinion I believe Paul is sending you a message and that message is believe in yourself and build anything you want no matter how you look at it it's a piece of art. Nice job Paul can't wait to see the next project. God bless be safe. Gordo from the United States
I love creative projects like this
the new fake taxi car looks good.
Cool
Great idea for a 50ish four door or a smashed rear end ..love it!
There is something cool about the Junk Yard Rat Rods .
That's one hell of a Syrup he's sporting there 👶🏻
It took seven days to make
MAGNIFICENT! JEEPERS CREEPERS!
If The Creeper is watching this, he'll want it.
Seen this on the motorway really early on Monday. Had to slow down to get a good look.
...dedicated fan, truly.
Barcroft's back, nice.
It looks like a horror movie car. But I sure fo love it.
Wish they did a whole episode on this. This is so amazing.
That's badass! What an awesome job. I'd love to see it IRL.
Well done mate
a gothic taxi van, registered suv...luv it!...
Your Taxi van is Great, nice colour.
sublime rat rod
From the other side of the pond here, you've made a very unique and cool ride
absolutely brilliant ... and all that in 7 days, for 1000 quids... aaaalllll righty then !!
Ratrod beater. SO COOL. 😀
A real kicker.
Thanks mate , made me smile , just fab,
Brilliant van I like your style mate and what a mind you have FairPlay to ya
And god bless-
I wish you all the best of luck with your van that should be on a show it’s that cool,, love it man
looks awesome bro
I've read some comments on Paul's van. Some of the comments I've seen are kind of rude. Why ? I understand it's a public opinion one comment I read where someone was making fun of Paul's last name why why? What did Paul do to you he's just trying to show you the people the viewers of the possibilities that any or all of you can do as long as you believe don't look at the car but understand the story. We cannot change who we are because that will make us fake stay true to yourself and stay true to others respect and love one another and what a wonderful world it would be. God bless all of you Who joyed Paul's project. We have more in common than you think. God bless be safe love one another.
If that was in my rear view mirror. I'd pull over and let you pass. Ask questions about the van like what's your body count 😱😱
Sweet As Ride!!
Cool ride sir.
i love trucks and cars to
Wow that's sick
That thing is so baddass
The seats worth more then the entire van
this is sick
Its amazing what you can think up and then make. Very Nice.
Nice 👍
He built it so fast, he accidentally put the steering wheel on the wrong side
The steering wheel is on the right side. As any fule kno
Vantastic 😍👍💪😉
rolling bar office for meeting on the go
I like it .Great looking build.
It still got the old engine.
I recommend a Fartcan exhaust.
Very well done👍🍺
Very cool
it looks like a '51/'52 Ford F1
I wish he kept the original taxi shape and maybe just customized the grille, it would have been an interesting custom
Why does this look like it came from jeepers creepers
Cool!👍🏻
That is awesome...id love to have a job building stuff like that
rusell tribe you can my friend. You can build anything you want just put your mind and heart to it and believe even on a shoestring budget you can make your dreams come true. God bless
Reminds me a little bit of my daily driver!
LOVE IT
Rad. Which came first, the van roof or your haircut? Both are spiffy!
A touch too low to be heavily loaded, especially as the suspension has all its original travel. FX4s are a great drive, can you still get the full lock?
👍👌👏 Oh WOW! Simply fantastic! Congrats! Additionally extremely impressive that it was done in only seven days and for only 1000 pounds! Nearly unbelievable. Nevertheless: Unless this great vehicle will get for instance an air ride chassis unfortunately the van is not really useable (because laying/sitting way too low on the street). Nevertheless: Great work!
He says its not that lowered and scrapes the body on the way out😂😂😂😂😂
Jeepers Creepers??
scariest car ever
Love it
How do you change a flat tyre in the back?
if you look with your eye's and use your brain you will see
Love it. ..beautiful

"It's not lowered at all" ... "What I did is I lowered the.." alrighty then
Faceplant1235 HAAHHA 😂😂
Faceplant1235 you are clearly not a car guy. Lowered cars typically have the suspension travel shortened to sit closer to the ground. He instead made the fenders longer to make it closer to the road without taking out drivability. Let me put it in terms you can understand better....for instance your man dress....if your dress comes to your knees and you lengthen it so it now comes to your ankles...you are not lower to the ground. The dress around you is but you are not (basically what this guy did). On the other hand if you chopped half your legs off with the original length dress...the garment will now be close to the ground but only because YOU are now lowered to the ground. Hope that cleared things up for ya
+Jack Lumber .. no no, you mean he instead made the fenders LOWER..
It's not lowered, he modified the fenders to give the illusion that it is, pay attention.
an illusion? So how does this trickery work? Enlighten me...
KEREN BANGET COYYY
To much crazy stuff
Super Hipster
THAT FOR A GRAND SIGN ME UP!
So many nice vans u could have modified but instead u made this 🤦♂️😂
can you park in taxi ranks ?
That syrup of fig looks hideous.
and still it got paint damage...
They mean rad rod or rat rod?
Wow
Fuckin Rad Man!. I'd try to trade ya my bike if you were over here.
Looks like a fallout 4 car.
Gaskings is you?
hood bro..........hood...........a bonnet goes on a little girls head
SurviventheOnslaught that’s how he says it....think before you speak
Nice cap.
What's the difference between a "rat rod" and a clown car?
you drive a clowns car
ugh. his name WOULD be "paul bacon"
7 day's & £1,000 yeh, absolutely no way. I've been in the body trade all my life & it can't be done.
Rusty, crusty and diabolical
Jeepers creepers
Horror moveh
this is not a rat rod
Quick question how did this guy get a random taxi for free? I mean do they give away taxi’s now? Don’t know maybe like if you disagree or agree
The tax cost £400 it was a wreck!
😒😊
