The Eagle Owners Club
A tale of 3 Amigos (left to right) Simon, Jason and Chaz all rebuilding the SS's
The plan is to restore an old rotten eagle SS to show condition and fit a 3.5 litre v8. All nuts and bolts replaced with stainless, all rust removed, and few gadgets on the drawing board including a wind down window system (looks good on paper).
