SX-4!
« on: March 22, 2014, 08:15:14 PM »
If all goes well, tomorrow I will be the proud new owner of an 81 4 cyl 4 speed sx4! Awhile back nwamcsx contacted me asking if I was interested in his eagle. After emailing back and forth for the last few weeks, I'm finally going down to see it!

Look what followed me home!

Our first stop on our way back. Had lunch at the black bear diner.

And finally at home. It even matches my truck!
Well, at least the interior does lol

Wow, really nice looking Eagle. Does it run? Why did you haul it? Too far to drive it?

It actually runs fairly well, but I didn't want to pay for gas to drive both rigs home. That and not knowing for sure how well it ran I felt it was safer to trailer it. I'll get it up on a lift tonight after work to change the oil and see for sure what the underside looks like. As far as I can see it is very rust free,  but it does seem to have a few oil leaks that need to be taken care of.
