Those shackles remind me of the '70s and early '80s when jacked rear ends were all the automotive rage.  8)

The exhaust tips are dangerously close to the plastic bumper guards.  I've seen these guards get melted by hot exhaust, hopefully that doesn't happen here.

I placed the ad cuz ohio needs an echeck done to it for me to put it into my name.  I was unaware of that when I bought it and I don't think it will pass right now. I wanted an eagle to drive in the winter to save my truck, but what I didn't want was a project car and that's what this is becoming.  More work than I have experience for.  It's a nice, it just needs more time than I thought.  I plan on cutting back the pipes and adding some chrome tips later.....

Had a bit of a death wobble with my side mirrors, so I had to replace them.  If interested advanceauto sells mirrors for $16 each.

I have mirrors similar to those on the 83 wagon and they vibrate.  Do these seem solid?
Also those are more rectangular than mine, which I see as an improvement.
I looked at Advance here and don't remember seeing those.   Do you have a part number?

compared to the death wobble of my other mirror these are not bad at all.   #k- source is the4 name and the #901. nice mirrors, one fits both sides, you just have to loosen a screw and spin the mirror.  They are lighter than the originals, but they are bigger and nicer.......

Take a look at Metalbird's sedan for some inspiration.  Looks like yours is even the same color.

HA!  Just caught this.  Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! 
I must be one of the odd balls among the odd balls here because I think the 4-Door Sedan is the best ... it is like your typical 80's little old ladies grocery getter sedan with Attitude! The stubbed-butt, stocky, high stance build of the 4-door sedan is the least suspecting model of being something beastly.  Just my opinion.
I think you have a great car there!

  Still plugging away on the sedan, lots of work.  This is the differential cover that someone just used silicone, no gasket.  It took me hrs. to get it off and clean all the silicone off.  The fluid was very old and black and was in need of a change.  I have also changed the front and back brakes along with new KYB shocks all around.  Replaced the drivers side half shaft too.
