Title: Interest in an Eagle Book?
Post by: 89 MJ on February 14, 2024, 06:21:49 PM
Would there be any interest if there was a technical book written about Eagles BY an Eagle owner? I have found lots of conflicting information on these cars and I have notes and pictures about how I did certain upgrades on my car. Some of the information is in write ups here, but that all can be hard to find sometimes. I also have years of experience with bodywork and rust repair done the right way that I could include.

Excellent. Hopefully I’ll have something done this summer.

Follow up question: would people rather have a hard copy or an e-book? A digital version would probably be cheaper, but you also need it to be on a device then and that means that the device has to be charged and portable. Any thoughts?

This is the first I’ve heard of that. Mine is more of a collection of ways to identify the year of an Eagle, what to look for when purchasing, and the modifications I’ve done. Basically a collection of firsthand experiences I think might help other people.

I'm young and I also prefer a hard copy, so that was what I was leaning towards, I just wanted to hear someone else's thoughts.

I, too, would like a hardcover copy. This sounds like a great idea, there aren't really any in-depth personal articles about Eagles online, unless it's in the form of a YouTube video.

The lack of personal articles with actually experiences do seem to be lacking, which is why I want to do this project.

Yeah, it's a good idea. Would you publish it?

I’m thinking so, but I’m not entirely sure yet.
