Recovering deleted cars?

Hello, I've accidentally deleted two models I've made with the latest release (B1418) and I'd like to know if there's any chance of getting them back on the game. I've thought that the .lua file of the car would get deleted but it's still there with all the data.
Is there any value(s) that I have to change inside the .lua in order to get my cars back into the game again?

How did you delete the models? Did you lose them when you updated the game?

Nope, I got an error about a missing file or something, related to another car. I deleted that car and accidentally deleted the model I care about.

Re: Recovering deleted cars?

Have you tried looking in the folder where the models are found (Documents/Automation/Models, although this is unlikely) and the Recycle Bin? If it isn't in either, then it is gone.

The .lua file is in there, it hasn't been deleted.

This is the lua error I got, and I still get.
EDIT: FIXED IT BY REMOVING THE .lua FILE OF THE CAR THAT CAUSED THIS ERROR.

EDIT 2: I still can't figure out how to get back my deleted car back into the game.

P.S: I think this should go into Support, I messed up posting this thread here :P

I am not entirely sure, but do you still have the engine it uses?
