Hey there folks, After perusing the forums for many years iv decided to join! I have a Black 82 Eagle Limited, that iv owned for close to 16 years, It was my first car :) Im currently located in Western Colorado, which is prime Eagle country. Im finally at the point where I have the Mechanical knowledge, tools, and help to start a restoration project on my rig, and hopefully be able to jump into some mild upgrades in the near future. If you're in the area, come say hey! Ill post on SOAR my map location. Very excited to be working on my eagle again and connect with the community!

Im not sure if this photo will work but im still figuring it out!! vvv

Oh great! We will have to get together once I get my Eagle up and running  :occasion14:.. Currently figuring out the ECU bypass, Weber swap, A/C delete, and de-Smog. Thankfully we dont have emissions over here!

Thanks! Back at ya :)  There was a very similar one for sale in my town about 5 years ago, plaid interior n such, should have swooped it! Colorado vehicles are great, not much rust typically, unless you live off I-70, where they lay down the de-icer!
