I have saved yet another Eagle (Updated 11/27/2011)

Its crazy....that thing sat for 11 years for a carb problem you fixed in a day....hey their loss is your gain. Of course if it hadnt been parked for all those years there is a good chance it would have been run into the ground and crushed along time ago.

I guess some people just don't have the resources that I do.  I'm thankful to have my dad, my many knowledgeable friends, and you guys here at the nest.  Without these things, I would probably be in the same boat as the previous owner...

Your Eagle saving is somewhat like my Mercedes Benz saving.  I find cheap ones that are bound for the scrap yard, and get them going again.  It is usually something simple (to me) wrong that the former owners don't want to deal with. 
I find that saving these old cars is a lot of fun....Rich

Not too much as of late, been working on other cars to get ready for Iola the last couple weeks.  Otherwise I've gotten the power steering pump replaced as it was leaking all over the place and my Dad was getting mad seeing power steering fluid all over his drive way and grass.      Then after that I started working on the brakes and after messing with them for a little while, I didn't have anymore brakes at all...lol   So I see now that I'll be needing a new master cylinder, calipers, pads, maybe rotors, drums, shoes, drum inners, and wheel cylinders.  So motivation isn't really high at the moment lol

My wife gets a little irate when Eagles are the topic of discussion. Im trying to get her to come with me to the junk yard tomorrow...To help carry tools....he he he  . (she doesnt know that part though....she just thinks were going to look and leave.)....Hey, I went to Hobby Lobby  with her last week to go yarn shopping....Now its her turn to be involved in a real hobby

[doneagle]

       HI    Shane   I would buy a ticket to see this ....If I lived close I would be there .....good luck with that....Don

Hey, thought I'd give a little update on my Eagle here.

I haven't touched it much besides moving it around in the driveway to cut the grass where it always sits.  Now with winter coming up, it has a permanent spot on the lawn until spring.  

I'm a full-time college student, and when I'm not at school, I'm working to be able to keep going to school.  Eventually, I will be able to work on this car.  It may take some time, but some day, it will be back on the road.  I refuse to sell it, because I want the joy of saving this car myself.
 
So just keep an eye out for updates in the future on this car, some day it will be a "Free Bird."

Good for you, Robert.
Looks like you have a Sanctuary there.
