Gravel roads make such good photo shoots
Glad I live on one but it's also a curse of a constantly dirty car

It´s sooo nice. 

Looks nice from 20 feet at least haha. Up close there are a lot of imperfections but I'm really happy with it anyways.

Welp. I just happened to pass by this lovely beast in my ATL neighborhood. Definitely came to a screeching halt then reversed to get a better look and snap a couple photos.
I want to marry this car.

I did take seat belt apart and put some greased it. Now old one works musch better, new one saved to an other project.

It took a couple of hours to get mirror control to fit. Had to reshape its mounting piece.

Hood release was not original and it moved just a little. So I removed it and greased it too. Now it is OK. Trying to find a correct one,



Driver side air duct slipped out and it did not want to go back. Had to remove it and what did I found. No wonder, it had a severe damage. And that´s why I couldn´t open air went at all.



Used hor air gun and wood blocks... Nice...



I noticed a hanging loose pink wire tjat wasn´t there before. What a heck...
Fuse holder had pink going in, but nothing comes out. It had broken, bit long time ago. Wires were stuffed in it. Bought a new one and problem solved. Hazard lights are working now.

When dash and parcel shelf were assembled togetherand courtesy light fixed, found out that heater blower did not work. 

After that disappointment started to fix wipers. Motor of, no locking clip there. Mounted rihgt wiper body and nut. New clip and all done. But wipers did not work... 

Then it was time to fix blower. Easy job just plug in... And then parcel shelf again...


There is not a lot of loose parts to mount...



Needs some fasteners, wiper blades, Tail gate wiring...

I have that silver and black ornament, but I couldn´t find it. It came with the Eagle, but I removed it before I drove to the trailer, so...

If I remember right, this came from American Parts Depot...

Thanks

Did some interior work... door panels and such...

Much better than the old color

Didn't the 1980 Eagles have the silver and black hood ornament like the Concords? That's what mine has and I've heard the 1980 models are the only ones with that. It would match your car!
