Finally posting some pics of my Eagle since i've been too preoccupied with my daily driver for the last few months...anticipating that the Eagle will be my new DD this winter due to the declining health of my poor little subaru
So....bought this car for $750 in the summer and have been tinkering with it ever since! Love the full-time 4wd but hate the cost of driving it. Going to continue my quest for improving the fuel economy (although i'm already at 25mpg!!)
the goods:
-good 258, rebuilt auto tranny
-all fluids changed
-new front bearings, all brakes done, all new shocks
-new strut rod bushings (after a nasty death-wobble almost killed me!!!); they fixed it
-adjusting the carter BBD so i now get decent mileage and it drives great, even with a manual choke that i built
-body/frame have very minimal rust so it won't be much work to do before i paint her. not sure what colour....
the only things i really need are driver door hinge bushings, exhaust work and a heater core. other than that she's a great car! rides really nice on pavement at least.
some pics from the day i bought her...
