Bill do you have a photobucket account?  That's what I use for pictures.  Sorry about them getting deleted.

Congratulations!  And kudos to your wife for her good work.   I was able, the other day, when I was shopping at, of all places a Menards (like Home Depot and Lowes) to purchase this USB adpater kit that has a normal USB plug at one end and then adapters for printers, camera's and another end that I forget what it was for.  I think it was like ten bucks.  Maybe you can find something like that.

That is a real good idea, I was just going to get a card reader. But with little hands running around the cards would be lost who knows where then i am buying more cards ..... thanks for the idea doug

I hope you can find one.  Yeah, those cords like to hide.

[83Eagle!]

If you find one of those cables Doug is talking about buy 2 of them.  From my experience, they like to wander off.

Hey thanks for the pictures man! Looks good and nice work!

today was a good day!  no more trans leak (replaced the final pieces of factory hard line with new hard line).  Found out the universal joints in the front shaft are toast and need replaced, LOTS of cut off vacume lines leading to the car to be in 4wd all the time (is that possible?), gonna swap out the brake booster in high hopes of curing the brake problem (it's liveible but I want them perfect).  I got the most accomplished by installing the rear plate that reads "truck".  I took pictures but i still have no way of uploading them TILL NEXT TIME!!!

Since I am half an hour away from going to get the eagle inspected (YAY!!) I decided to throw 2 new pictures up

the new air cleaner assembly

IT HAS PLATES!!!

I will update when i return, like usual some problems come up just before inspection in the form of a front u joint going to heck and the oil pan has now gotten a leak.  So after inspection i am off to find an oil pan or I may just take to old one off and repair it.  Anyways i am off to get that sticker, wish me luck

[IowaEagle]

Luck wished.

[83Eagle!]

Good luck Bill

Well, as of right now not inspected yet.  Went down to the garage and there was a sign for me that said he had some things come up this morning and he will call latter today and get me in.  The oil pan is REAL bad, past the point where i can save it.  So we spent a better part of today at the salvage yard getting eagle parts (4 sedans, 1 SX/4, 1 wagon, and a liftback concord?)  I took some pictures on my phone of the cars and the wagon on it's side so that we could cut out the front diff to get the oil pan out, but I am unable to find my micro to regular size SD card adapter so i can't post them (and i am going nuts about it).  I also picked up some of the odds and ends things that i wanted for the car and a handful of emblems.  Now I must relax and play the waiting game, and i hate the waiting game

Sounds like you hit the mother lode of cast off Eagles in your area.

[thereverendbill]

It is legal!!! just got back from the inspection station.  Still have the oil leak but we figured it'd come back because soaping the oil pan only last so long

Sounds like you hit the mother lode of cast off Eagles in your area.

indeed doug, i have a deal worked out with him at the moment that I will give him the price he paid plus like 100 bucks for and sedans or kammbacks he comes across,  he has the right idea by not crushing any cars that will still yield parts manufactured before 1991.

[IowaEagle]

Good for the both of you.  Make sure to thank him from all of us.

I thought it was funny cause in one corner of the yard he has like 20 Yugos that look like drivers, i asked about them and the only respance I got was a head shake, lol
