So lets see the beaters, gotta give them some love too!

yellow2000S/R · 12-24-2013, 05:47 AM

99 Silverado 1500 4.8L 213k miles. Got it because I'm inspired by Denmahs videos (no lie).

Oh, and I just got this POS... lol. 1970 GMC with 1968 Chevy front. 1 owner, 54k miles, hasn't been registered since 1984 (have tag, insurance, registration that were in/on the truck). Title was smaller then a new registration.

Look for a build topic coming soon. Ordered a bunch of stuff already. My Avatar is a photoshop of what I'm aiming for, at least at this time.

Zx2 was a cool car. I had a 93 Escort LX-e. Zetec motor swap was just getting traction for the SPI guys and the 2nd geners were doing the SPI swap or head swap. Easy cars to work on and cheap parts make it a great beater.

Looking forward to see this build thread! I love these style trucks.
And your rendering looks like you have some nice plans for it.

Just picked this up, $1600, 143k, full power options and 5 spd. Runs great, did a tune up and threw on some snow tires, driving it to TX in two weeks.

Yeah, she gets beat a little. I think this is the day I put it into a few banks and she kept on keepin' on.

Edit: 220K miles and counting.

Your beater is better then mine.

OBEEWON · 12-26-2013, 01:42 PM

Don't be so sure...

Some-guy · 12-26-2013, 06:22 PM

00 zts focus does the job. Previous beater was a 98 escort, most reliable POS car ever.

Lol. That car sure does clean up nice for pictures.

I'll be in the market for a beater after I get my 240 painted.

Sold my wrx and bought this a few months ago...not having a huge payment is nice, but i miss the speed and tearing up corners.
