Eagle Sx/4
« on: July 31, 2011, 08:59:24 PM »
Just wanted  to say Hi. I'm new on this forum. My name is Kevin and I'm currently helping my nephew Tyler get running my old Eagle. I had it stored in the back building for a long time. Him and his Dad came over and needed something and he spotted it in the building and asked what I was going to do with it. I asked why and Tyler told me he wanted it. His Dad Jim told him he could have it if he helped me do some things around my property. 

Tyler is a great helper and a really good worker too. I just gave it to him. I also bought him loads of parts for it too. I was restoring it 13 years ago and have so many other projects that It just got lost in the mix and never got reassembled. Sooooooooo...... Here I am helping him reassemble it to be road worthy and to much of my syrprise Tyler has most of the assembly done. And its looking pretty good.

I seemed to have forgotten all the little details of the actual car. It has been 13+ years. Tyler has a very good book on how the car works and I like the book but there are things I think they intentionally left out. I've found your site and there things on this site that are very helpful. I still may need a little steering around tho. LOL So I will be needing the brain refreshers that come along. It has been really fun helping Tyler out with the assembly. Thanks, Kevin

Welcome.  I would encourage Tyler to join this forum, as well.  He will be exposed to a large contingent of enthusiastic Eagle owners and an amazing amount of information.
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.
