new daily beater

well its kind of a hassle having a marginal 240 as a daily beater so its sold for $1900.

just bought a 1993 dodge shadow for 800$ last week. 130k miles, some peeling paint, needs 2 new tires, otherwise its in really good shape.

it has a 3.0L SOHC v6, same as in a galant and base model 3000GT

i have heard it has around 145-150 hp and 165-170 lbft but im not sure

just cleaned it up and nigrigged my old sentra's front strut bar to fit.
handling is much improved.

future plans include some cheapass rims, black primer paintjob, spring/shock kit, and hopefully i can find some rear disc conversion for it. no one seems to know anything about that though but there has to be a car that i can swap rear discs from. the P body platform is almost the same as the K car platform, and very similar to other chrysler platforms (i.e. daytona, omni, ect.)

the guy who had it before did something with the exhaust but it looks like it just had the muffler cut off and a chrome tip put on. but the guy said at one point it had dual exhaust so i dont know what he did really.

finally some pics. these are right when i got it so theres no strut bar on there yet in the pic.

Nice beater lol

My beater is a 1993 nissan pathfinder ( GOTTA BE A NISSAN lol )
yeah not much of a beater, V6 3.0L, std, lsd, two 12' subs, wider tires, pretty fun. I'll post pics later.

i want a beater or just a daily driver for when the 240 is being worked on. i wish

should see my beater... it's funny

i don't have a beater... i drive an 06 matrix xr in the winter!!

add: i also don't have a beater cause i only ever want to drive my 240 when its the right time of year

That thing is clean for a beater...or did you just wash it and douse the engine bay in engine degreaser lol...

:smokin:you caught me... lol but in all fairness, i bought it from a guy who lives on a fucking farm so it was so caked in shit i couldnt stand it.
hence the complete wash.

but it looks like all the mud protected the car from any sort of rust, especially on the underbody. there is a little on the edge of the hatch, and one spot about the size of a dime on the roof.
but the underbody is CLEAN.:icon16:

I have a nice under body once upon a time, but people like to cut me off so I have to jump the meaden everyonce in awhile. Looks like some one took a hand grinder to the bottom of my car. :(

lol jumping teh median is for pros.
braking is for teh hos.

a truer sentence has never been spoken, err uh typed
