I'm game. Got mine a bit over a year ago and went from this:
To two weeks later and a spun main bearing leading to this (l69, kept the TBI)
Now I'm here. Interior is pretty shot, big dent on the rear quarter and front end, paint is destroyed... But she's getting there:

Good stuff, I bet it was a real head turner. Just remember he who laughs last laughs longest.

I liked it better with the stock wheels, but I needed new tires and I found a good deal on those OZs... maybe I'll go back to stock eventually

Just so you all know I'm not making fun. I was a strong contender at the beginning of this year. I believe the requirements were running and driving. Didn't say it had to be complete.

Re: Who has the biggest beater (rough condition)thirdgen here? Post pics!
Yeah it is pretty bad. Floor boards are all solid though so i am going to cut out the strut towers and put new ones in. That's really all the rust that is in there. I just don't know what that yellowish stuff is. And yes it is all orginal interior.

Re: Who has the biggest beater (rough condition)thirdgen here? Post pics!
Well I might as well throw in my beater that I bought 3 years ago,
Here's how she looked then.
At the end of that year she looked like this.
After her second year she looked like this and hasn't changed much since then.
And has bean put on hold for a bit as I make some more molds for modifications.
Like a new hood out of cf, rear deck lid out of cf and some other things.
And yes she's street legal and runs and drives.

Re: Who has the biggest beater (rough condition)thirdgen here? Post pics!
The '92 Beater. Had the wrong front end on it when I got it and had to replace the doors forward. No door panels, had to replace the seats because they were frozen in place from rust and has a hole in the front passenger toe board. The power mirrors don't work right because the passenger side isn't power. Has a mix match of older TA tail lights and V6 center. Cat is gone and has a piece of pipe replacing it. I will get some more pics of it when I had it torn down.

Re: Who has the biggest beater (rough condition)thirdgen here? Post pics!
very funny!! around here you see a few still on the road. and beaters? that's 95% of the ones I see.half primered.mis matched body panels.smoking rattling bombers.BUT the thing is,when I approach them they are all proud to own and drive their 3rd gens. and when I show them my 86 IROC, its "where did you get your parts?" now I don't have a show car by any means.but mines more complete and functional than most. im trying to get a network of 3rd gen owners started here in Knoxville TN. for parts sourcing ,technical help and ,well sort of a support group for us who suffer from a 3rd gen affliction !!!
