this particular 3 door had "allegedly" been parked in a barn and was found minus an engine and been restored ala overhaulin (and not pimp my ride) in 3 weeks and was "revealed" to the owner at ford fair

what gets me is how you could restore a car from barn find condition to as new in just 3 weeks on a small budget and wihtout anyone knowing about it outside of the production team so THATS the info i was after if anyone could shed any light

the reason i've waited is because i'm not sure if there is a feature in this or not for the mags and i'm not sure who the original owner was or who supplied the bits
Even I didn't know what the show as about - I didn't have time to ask!

I did hear the guy that brought it on the low loader say bits were painted the night before and were hardly dry!

And also they didn't want to drive it as it was smoking it's tits off
