Central Oregon SX/4 Newbie
« on: October 30, 2013, 04:52:10 PM »
Hello Everyone,

Live outside of Bend, Oregon.  With winter snows and living on a dirt road, I've had my eye on an Eagle for a while.  Just trailered one home, a 1983 SX4 Sport with the 258 and 5 speed.  I aim to restore it into a daily driver.  Hoping to learn a lot about the car here and find sources for parts.

Thanks,
Brent

Congrats on the new car. I have EXACTLY that. (83 SX4 Sport) Love it! Although I haven't driven it since about the mid to late 90s. It needs a thorough reconstruction now. Looking forward to hear how your build goes.
