No new cars or clean daily drivers, but old tired beaters that dont get any care or attention!
Heres mine, bought in Nov 05 for $1250. Its a 1996 EJ9 civic with a D14z6 motor, currently has 109k miles on the clock and drives like a dream (looks like ****) When i bought it there was 98500miles on the clock, so its served me well so far, 10k miles in 6 months and it has never let me down. I had to buy a new battery for it and oil/filter/plugs and thats been the sum total of it!



There was a dirty great dent in the wing and it had started rusting so i bought a rattle can and 'touched' it up...great job dont ya think!


The drivers door had been fixed/painted before at some stage and the laquer was peeling off, so i touched it up


The rear bumper was in **** and full of scrapes and marks, so i prepped it (ok i wiped it with a dry cloth) and sprayed it...got a little overspray on the right rubbing strip


Front Bumper


I managed to pick up a set of EK4 SiR seats for free as the originals were wrecked and uncomfortable

 

all the jdm dawgs on ht are gonna love your bumpers

MY BEATER

 

^^ thats no beater, to clean and nice

 

These "beater" threads always turn into a "post a pic of your only car b/c that constitutes a "beater" in your mind" thread.

 

i guess i could call this my beater when i'm not driving the coupe


i pretty much drive this 90% of the time now a days since my wife works from home

 

No pictures. But I have an '87 Accord LX. Good car.

read the post guys

 

i win

 

92 dx bone stock, ran great but looked like hell, had to get rid of it before the mod bug bit me.

 

all these cars......none are beaters. here is one. Good ol' neon. It had the hood bra cause it was ruste thru on the egdge of the hood. None of the windows closed properly and i always had a puddle in my trunk. Leaky gas tank too. Drove like heavens in the snow tho. Oh and the bumper is held by a chain. Thats what a beater is.

 

My new beater... kinda need to fix it

 

500 bone, 20 years old, most stuff still works

Better picture,

 

my 150.00 creamy yellow goodness 1989 240sx

 

can't have a beater without a primered body part and mismatched rims!!

 

 

**** that corolla has no rust. Some of those here are rusted to hellllll. Its almost too nice to be a beater!

 

don't forget guys real beters.

that 240 looks like a steal.

 

$50 haha

it doesn't look like a beater, but it was definetly beat on, dougnuts until it was overheating so bad it wouldn't do them anymore haha. Fun car in the rain
