1989 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Nice little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I use this car for a field runner, so it don't see the road.
I basically run it through mud and snow, which works if I keep the momentum.
I'm lookin at putting some mud tires on it.
General comments?
I bought this car for 40 bucks from my neighbor. We have little 4 banger car races up here, and my Escort was perfect. She always starts no matter what. In spite of the rust, it still looks decent after the many miles spinning in mud and snow.
