Default Got a beater finally!!!!

its a 1998 hyundai accent with 80k miles... $300. yes i know it has a red white and blue interior, i'm in the process of putting it back to black. You will also notice the trans am like nostrils... the driverside one is functional lol. I picked up an exhaust from a junkyard for 8$. they had a hood but it was green so im gonna hold off on that for a while. (till i can find a black one or afford to paint it black.. maybe i'll rattle can it). But for $300 i cant complain considering the car runs great.

That is a lot of time spent painting the interior.

Wow I probably wouldnt of even bother posting pics of that. That may be worse then my truck..... even the stang lol. I probably couldnt even drive that even if it is a beater the outside isnt as bad as the inside wow. Just take a black spray can to the interior and spray as much as you can it wont look as bad haha.

Haha nice ride. I've had my fair share too. Check out the 1.5L 5-spd '93 Eagle Summit I used to have. Note the GTP "Supercharged" badges from my old Grand Prix lmao.

OMG....

That's awesome for $300. Low mileage, as well, for a Hyundai. But the hood scoops AND pins are the best part for me.

EDIT: OK, I'm not gonna lie; I was laughing out loud for about 2 minutes straight when I scrolled through those pictures a second time.

yeah i thought it was worth it. the speedo and the tach don't work so i have to rewire that because the previous owner "rewired the whole car" for the sound system... and messed up tons of other stuff. (system sounds great... i put my sis's rockford fosgate 12in sub in the back bc it was already wired for an amp.) but hopefully when it gets warmer out i'll be able to spray it with some black paint or something, who knows.

Man are you and JL attached at the hip, or the empellical cord? Because if it is the cord I would cut that real quick before he convinces you to make your car into a drag car LOL Just messin' with ya.

Back on topic for 300 bucks I would take a day to unfu*k that car. I could rightously beat the ever lovin' **** out of that car without giving a crap what happened to it LOL

Thumbs up

Honestly, I wouldn't change a single thing about that car, some of those elements are so atrocious that they're almost cool LOL.
And yes the interior colors are very patriotic.
