Me and Tougeagle spent the better part of a day and most of the night working on bluebird...even swapped out the rear axles...had a blast though. found out we needed new wheel cylinders for Caroline and one for bluebird....Hit a bit of an obsticle with the bleeder valves....But Eaglers always overcome!!....We are going to do a head gasket job on bluebird in the next few weeks.....she blows some vapory white smoke but other than that runs pretty darn descent.

Hey guys, definitely a bt busy but broke more than anything right now. I need to make some posts, colorado auto parts has three new eagles in the yard in denver  one is an 80 with pristine interior.....

I need to get a transfer case for caroline preferably a 119 but would take a 129. Thats what is binding up and im gonna smoke this rear end if i dont return the rear driveline to stock...but, im so broke that i have to hope that where ever my work sends me, i can afford to get there with the quarter tank i have. I badly want bluebird down here... I think ill replace the transfer case in caroline once ive got some money again and tow bluebird back with er.

My power steering is having problems again, this time the fitting at the back of the pump, pressure side, is steadily leaking fluid out. Thats the straw that broke the camels back, im going to remove the pumptoday and when i eventually brig bluebird down ill take her box to the rebuilder here and have him find me a manual saginaw from a truck or something, cus im at my wits end on trying to make it work and i refuse to wste any more money on band  aiding the situation.

Also havent been posting much because i havent had the cah to pay the internet bill for the past month and a half so ive been posting from my phone....and, i quit smoking two days ago....

my parents have been smoking for 30+ years and have tried to quit many times. i wish you the best of luck and hope that you can overcome it... if nothing else you would be better able to afford the parts you need for restoring old birds!

You'd be amazed what you can save by quitting. My room mate quit and bought a brand new car for the same amount he spent on smoking per month.

Rollguy, here is my post about that same 1980 wagon.  Its not a limited, but I think it did have a light interior.  Not leather though.

Yes, and no.  The yes, whenever I find parts (and time) to restore it, and no because Terry at Rambler Ranch will hopefully pick it up soon, and I will not need to do any more work on it.
And now back to our regularly scheduled topic.
