You can't replace the frame on an Eagle. You can however repair it, but depending on how bad it is could be difficult and if you aren't doing the work yourself, pricey!
Thanks I never knew eagle frames cannot be repalced... that would have been awful so now I will contiue my eagle hunt
Eagles technically don't have a "frame" they are a unibody design.
Grab a picture or 2 for us, might be able to help you make a decision.
If there is damage there I bet there is bad rust in many places. Spend a lot of time under the car.
A shackle broken off because of rust means to me that there is serious rust on the underbody. When you are not experienced with project cars just say no to this one. :-\
