Worst second gen you have ever seen?
Or owned for that matter. Im talking looks and/or mechanical. Don't post like a semi rusted one, i mean, we've all seen those
Im talking ******* totall trash, like 3/4 rims are donughts, with like a cracked windshield and an engine bay that is like completley covered in gunk lol.
If you can't find a second gen picture to show, just tell us about it, good for a few laughs im sure.
As a kicker, we'll add 'worst engine' you have ever dealt with mechanically. fc3spro.com has some good nightmares with pics, but it would be nice to see an engine bay that is completley covered in rust, lime and gunk to see who's is the worst.
I thought it would be a fun alternative to the best second gen thread thats been on the front page here for the past week.

I've got one, a guy told me about a second gen sitting on the side of the road about 25 min from where I live so one day I finally got a chance to go check it out. There was the obvious rust, being surrounded by an ocean and all, but the hood had NO PAINT and was 5 feet in frount of the car. Both doors were off and in the bushes a few feet away along with both seats. The engine was half dismantled and all the removed peices were randomly thrown about. All 4 rims were different and some were flat. The only thing not torn out of the inside was the carpet, which had a good number of healty plants growing. The instrument panel was completly missing and the dash was just hanging there. The bad part? It was an automatic! I was hoping to bring her back to life. The worst part of all? Some of them damn pieces were in better condition then the ones on my car (sunroof, tail lights, frount bumper etc)!

the worst that i have evaar seen wasn't bad compared to the others, BUT...
i was looking through a used car lot one time a stumbled across a BASE model fc...ooooh!!! ok, so that doesn't sound bad, but let me tell you it's pretty scary. it had drum brakes in the back...ouch! and the most stripped interior possible. no luggage belts in the back. can't remember if it had a tape player. no ac. steel wheels with plastic hub caps like an escort or some of those crap little sedans have.
i'm not making this up. i have a factory parts catalog and i don't even recall seeing those options....but i saw this with my own two eyes and they were factory parts....

Not as bad as the one posted earlier, but the hoodscoop says it all. The funny thing is that the hood was a tII hood. I guess he didnt like the factory scoop, he wanted a custom one. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND?

you don't need anybody to verify....i really don't think someone (back before tuning rx7's was cool) would spend the kind of money to DOWNGRADE the brakes on there cheap car....hahaha!!
look, all i'm saying is that i saw it and it doesn't matter who comes in here and says they didn't come that way!

If you look at that first pic, it looks like the FC's bumper is a mouth, and its barfing up its guts! lol.
I remember that FC with the hoodscoop that was posted a while back, worst mod ever.
