1989 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Trash to treasure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new battery.
New inside wall panels.
New seats.
New dash.
New tires.
New engine.
New exhaust system.
General comments?
I like to work on cars a lot. So when I saw this car I had to buy it. The only thing that was really good on it was the body - mint condition with shiny red paint, no knicks or scratches.
