I've posted pics of my 'alternative heap' on here before
The first car I ever bought, I often call it the 'tank' or my 'pirate ship'. Its completely gutted with the barest essentials of two seats, a wheel, and one luxury: Automatic trans. With not much interior to speak of, its a creaky, rattling, smelly mess going down the road. Since I live on a gravel road, it will never be pretty, but it sure is fun to slide around corners...
It was born a 383, its got a bit more heart in it now...
