80 eagle
Bobio:
Hello , new here .. I just purchased an 1980 eagle sport . Very restoreable , runs good , body solid .. my question is where I do I start .. my main needs are bumper end caps ( old ones looked meilted / warped ).. do I keep original or mod ( a little ) on engine. Like carb and intake manifold .. so much to learn all suggestions, info greatly appreciated .. this vehicle is loaded , cruise , sun roof .. no real rust if any .. thank you ..
Mitch:
Bumper end caps may be a bit hard to find. They were used only one year, (maybe a few '81's). Try putting a "Wanted" ad in the Classifieds, and maybe post on the Den's Facebook page.
IMHO...don't change or fix things until they break. If it's running good now, just enjoy it!
vangremlin:
I agree with Mitch, if it's running good, just enjoy it. There will be plenty of things to fix in the future lol. These cars will never be performance monsters without a major overhaul so just drive it!
DAVE:
80 eagle bumper ends will also be the same for concord’s and spirit’s of that same year may be the same for those 79 models also
mo.eagles:
First off check ALL the fluids, drain and replace if questionable. I did not and one very cold morning I could not get to work because water in my front diff. froze solid. Condensation is a bad thing. Also check for rust around the upper A-arms. Road grime piles up on the frame rails under the A-arms. You will want to stop any rust that may have started there. Above all wear your safety glasses and enjoy being an Eagle owner.
