Lost Escort: Part 1

2 months later I got a phone call from my dad. He told me that a friend of him bought an old farm and found something interesting in the barn. I got there and I saw my dad and his friend in front of a barn. Dad was like: "You're ready for this?" And opened the door. I saw a small red car buried in trash, dust and what not. "I don't know what it is yet", said my dad's friend Eddie (Who bought the farm) and so we dug it out. After a while we saw the front of the car and I recognized the unusual shape of the front grille: It has the shape of a bone. More digging revealed the whole car and confirmed my first thought: It's a 1st gen Ford Escort. RHD car which is unusual here. We towed it out and boy those tires were cracked and flat. After a while we found out that the car must have been from the UK since it has a mile speedometer in it. Tried to crank it but nothing happened of course. The car was last on the road in 1982. Eddie was like: "You want it, John?" I said: "Sure, I could use a car like that."

I didn't have my cam with me but I'll take a pic as soon as I got it home.

@Haku: It was like that in the beginning, too. XD Super quick builds, every day another car and so on. But I should keep my mouth shut with an overpowered car as a beginner's car which is utterly unrealistic in the second thought

@dxg: Watanabes on a Mustang? Umm... Wouldn't Torq Thrust wheels or something like that more suitable?
