Swedens first SX/4 "Peter Pan"
« on: January 02, 2016, 07:58:48 PM »
hi all
my 81 wagon is done and ready since October an runs great.
on a cold winterday before christmas landing Eagle nr2, i called him Peter Pan ;)


i bought the car from a friend in Germany, its a project.
the last time when this Eagle was on the road are the year 1998, thats why the Eagle is rust free :blob1:


the original engine died 1998, and i have all the parts home for a full swap
4.0 engine with AW transmission and the NP242
engine block comes out of a 91 Cherokee XJ, the head and all the other stuff will be from a 1990 XJ , so all is Renix
much better stuff than the chrysler stuff.



see you later this week ;)
greets from Sweden
Klaus

no, missing parts are only a trim list on the left side from the windshield trim.
and i ned other or better trim lists for the fender moldings and 2 bumper caps for the rear end
all other parts was here
the car was realy good packed  8)


its a lot of job with the grinder when you do a full swap
i will never install a part on my Eagles with the Chrysler sign on it.
all signs have to go  :amc:

When my SX4 went to Europe, I packed it like that as well.  Just the engine was sitting in the bay, but all the parts were in the back.
