I wanna see what your guys ugly winter beaters look like. I'm drivin a 87 toyota pick-up w// 100,XXX miles that is summed up into 2 words rust bucket!! But I wanna see urs so post em

We need a more exciting topic in this board so here we go--->

pic will come tomorrow of my winter beater...

 

YEAH THIS THING IS SO BAD THE BOX RUSTED AND FELL OFF WHEN I WAS TURNIN A CORNER. THE FLOORBOARD ON THE DRIVERSIDE IS HALF GONE AND WHEN I GO THRU A PUDDLE MY FREEGIN FEET GET SOAKED. I HAD SOME FENCE PICKETS LAYIN AROUND SO I BUILT A TEMPORARY FLATBED SO I CAN HAUL MOTORS REARS AND PARTS. I DID A DAYS WORK FOR THIS GUY AND HE CAME UP WAY SHORT SO THE TRUCK WAS THROWN IN TO LEVEL THE PAYMENT. PRETTY SWEET EH. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WORSE BEATERS THAN THIS SO COUGH EM UP PEOPLE

 

Goes through anything............

 

THAT PICK UP WITH THE PAINTJOB IS NOT A BEATER IS IT?

 

rofl I'll post a pic of mine next time I get a chance to take a pic of it.. Probably do it this weekend..

 

Here we go...this is the 87 pick-up that gets me from point a to point b w/ little trouble...lol

 

I've got a 90 taurus. I picked it up with 64000 and lots of rust for $50. The tranny is so bad half the time it lays rubber upshifting into second. Stupid fords. I'll see about pics.

 

i just had to put my 86 bronco to sleep. the crap aod trans went out for the second time. i took my stereo and said goodbye, now i drive the 88 junk caddy seville. actually very comfortable and i got it for free.

 

My winter beater right now just happens to be my third gen.. However over the next 6 months gonna go through alot of modding and will be garaged next winter...I promise

 

actually, it's a fairly nice 94 merc topaz, just rolled over to 90k, no rust, not torn up inside either...

 

No pic, but it is a 89 mazda 323 with 154000 miles 1.6L. I got it for $100. Slowest thing i have ever been in. I lost a race against my buddies 91 ford escort. Hs car is a piece of crap too and we run into each other all the time, nothing major though.

My thirdgen is currently my all season beater because I don't have anything else to drive. Once I get some body work and paint done, my car will be winter free, unless it is dry and and at least 30 degrees outside with no snow.


This is the worst side of my car.

 

devian, man, you know that we're not gonna have a winter over thirty degrees...not here in central il...it was pretty dry last year though...

 

Lol, I don't plan on living in Central Illinois for ever. After I graduate (hopefully) from SIUC, I am heading South, where the winters are warmer.

 

F250 4X4 5.8 w/ Dana 60's Winter Beater Overkill for NJ. Snow from the Feb 17th storm.

 

man that f250 doesnt look like a beater from the picture

 

got a 90 lesabre for $400, it handles great. had an 87 crown vic last year.

 

My winter beater just died. I got a 93 Dodge Shadow from some trailer park guy for $400. It ran decent for a couple of months until I broke something in the bottom end. This this was completely ugly. He spray canned it this white color. The only thing it had going for it was a good stereo and $200 tires. It was SLOW AS HELL but it was my first 5 speed, so it was basically worth the investment to teach myself how to drive a stick.

I have got a rust free 84 GMC Jimmy with the measley 2.8. it is on its third engine, sixth transmission, and second transfer case. But it runs good now, i just couldn't get rid of the rust free body.

 

ok that time again!!! I got the new one about 2 weeks ago. thing was butt ugly..not no more...well it still is, but it has a sweet spray bomb flame job!! oh and the whole truck was spray bombed black. woo hoo come on winter...

 

more

 

hood

 

I got a 99 frontier that replaced my nearly dead 81 gmc stepside I only drive mine on the weekends since out work parking lot is gravel and some reason everybody has to peel out in rocks so no bird to work for me.

 

Fbirdta878787, is that a Chevy Luv? Man, I haven't seen one of those in years!!!

For me, the T.A. IS the winter beater! I'll get pics up with the winter rims/tires sometime soon...

 

I've had some nasty winter cars before, now i got a 91 full size jimmy with 4 wheel drive, 33 inch tires, shift kit and a custom brush/bumper that i made out of 1/4 steel and some 3inch round pipe. I don't have any pics at the moment.

 

i have a 91 licoln town car for winter that is actually a great deal for 200 bucks. it just burns oil. but im not ready to put the camaro away yet still having too much fun

 

1990 Jeep Commanche 4x4 4.0L I6 its actualy pretty quick with the 5-speed and it's a whole lotta fun off-road!!! Got it for free too!!! whooo hoooo can't beat that!! i'll try and get some pics

 

ok I know this thread is old but I couldn't resist seeing as how I just got a winter beater. I don't have any pics at the present but its (as in my profile) a 1984 full size bronco with 4wd (which is why I bought it) its rusty, its loud due to the exaust being busted, but its mechanically sound. so as the topic is...lets see winter beaters :lala: :lala:

 

wow... we're goin back a long way on this thread..hehe

mines in my sig. (GMC ZQ8 Sonoma)

 

Here's mine...

 

Mine are an 87 toyota 4runner and a 91 4runner.

 

Mine are an 87 toyota 4runner and a 91 4runner. My 91 is in the background. :hail:

 

Do you really want to see it?

It was my project until I found the Camaro I'm working on now.

I was going to finish them both but then decided that the Camaro is more important (sex appeal).

This is what she did look like after I wrecked it last winter while beating it. Please remember, this was my project vehicle as you can see in the pics I started ripping it apart.

 

This is how she sits now.

I was going to fix her all up nice & pretty but the Camaro is more important. So now I'm going to mix & match body panels & put it back together for a Winter/Work truck.

So if you see a F-150 rolling down the road sporting seven different colors without counting the rust, then it probally will be me.

 

are you sure that isn't too nice of a car to be a winter beater? thats a monte carlo isn't it?

ohh I forgot, that was directed to conlinj

 

it was 500 bucks

 

Here's my POS. Still needs a muffler, brake line, and tires yet. What a pile. :lala:

 

Here's mine....

 

I don't need a winter beater where I live...

 

heres my saab 9000CD. its a turbocharged 2.0 and its got a 5 speed ive beaten a few cars around here with it. i got it for $500

 

1978 or 1979 Ford Bronco with a 300 I-6 and 4 speed tranny. brand new motor, newer 31" tires and a 3 inch lift. it needs a set of 35" tires and 4.10 and it would be perfect. about 10 min after this pic i had the hood on. still playing with the carb and trying to get it right.

 

winter beater #2

1989 S10 2.5L 4cyl. 5 speed. 2wd. this will get the most driving. bronco will be used mostly for when it gets really crappy out and need 4wd(other wise its just dumb to drive it as the S10 gets about double the gas mileage.

 

heres mine

 

Nope...you need a boat and some good insurance. :lala:

 

Heres my winter beater...bought it smashed for $1000 down in arkansas, and put a total of $3000 into it including the car.

 

One of the rear end because it's my favorite.

 

here are my two together. obviously the right one gets winter detail.

 

Damn AaronIROCZ I been looking for a truck like yours so I can trade in my Nissan

 

Mines a 97 nissan sentra with 71000 miles on it. Its my work/winter car. I drive it all year round to work since the Camaro cant pass up a gas station.

 

here is a picture of one (same year and model) but, I have alot of rust and mine is black
