'95 Eagle Summit DL
I picked this up about three weeks ago for $850 from central Michigan. I bought it 100% sight unseen. I inspected it for about 15 minutes in the PO's snow covered driveway with freezing rain coming down on me. I paid the lady, then drove it five hours home to Indianapolis.
How it looked the day I bought it:
Under the console:
Needless to say, it was nasty. There were cigarette butts and roaches crammed in every conceivable nook and cranny, sticky brown goo on every surface, and the driver's headrest was literally black. It wreaked of bad weed. I needed desperately to clean it out, and I took care of that immediately.
I was then out of town and away from the car for the following two weeks, and hadn't had a chance to wrench on it again until this past weekend.
I cleaned it some more, installed new front brakes, rewired the shorted driver's side headlamp, pealed most of the sh*tty window tint off, replaced some light bulbs, changed the oil, check and topped up the other fluids, and.... Ran some air lines.
Here's how it looks today:
I'll be using a four-way manual set up with UAS Aero Sport bags up front, and Air House 2 bags in the rear. I'll be running the front bags on new OEM style struts, and the rears I will likely use with Scion xB brackets and shorter OEM style shocks. I'm still waiting on the front bags, struts, and brackets to arrive.
So far, I've only run air line for the switches.
Here's the pile of suspension parts I've accumulated thus far:
A shot of the new brakes:
And a test fit for the needle gauges, which I'm thinking will work nicely in the OEM digital clock pocket:
I'll keep this thread updated as I progress in the build, and I'll undoubtedly seek advice from some of you more seasoned bagologists.
