She looks amazing! Badges and front end pieces look great as well... that's one of the first thing I do to all my Eagles is freshen up the black to make the chrome stand out. The chrome grills are getting really hard to find. Anyways, it looks great man! I'm very impressed... and jealous, LOL especially since that's the original color of my very first SX4 (The Millenium Eagle) and I've been saying I wanted to keep it original... that just looks awesome. Now I know what to look forward to.

I had the front seats rebuilt and recovered a couple years ago so they are in good shape.  I need to get the carpet replaced as $$$ allow.  And I have an 85 radio bezel that I will put in at some point, but that's as far as my plans go for now.

Thanks Mav!  I can't wait to get it back, because not only will that mean its all back together, but also that I get to drive it again. I've been going through Eagle withdrawals for the last 7 months lol.  Not that I needed the 4 wheel drive this winter, we haven't had much snow in Denver at all.

I'll definitely have it back by May.  I was at the body shop today, and he hopes to get it back to me next week, but I'm thinking he still has a couple weeks worth of work left.  If you're taking I-70 across Colorado its not a detour at all.  If you're going I-80, maybe we can meet up in Greeley at tougeagle's!
