Welcome James. The interior looks to be in great shape. With some elbow grease and hubcaps the exterior will look just fine. I know how I treated my first car, please go easy on the ole girl.  ;D

Congrats and welcome to the Nest!  I see you're in Fort Collins, there are several members of the Nest who live in Colorado.  I'm in Centennial.

There is a 4x4 shop in Ft Collins that supposedly has a few Eagles for parts.

Not just good, they look awesome black. This isn't a wagon, but it will give you an idea.

It's because of pictures like that, the 4 door was my first choice of eagle to get.  If I had my choice, yeah, I'd get a 4 door.

i like the 2 door because its more "hip" and it can off road better but the 4 door is classier and it has a higher load capacity and it can also be a family car

Welcome to the nest man. I havent been on much in a week or two but i see you have another "survivor clone". It seems that paint job would just about be the most common for the wagons. One of mine looks just like it but i have the power bulge hood. Im thinking about borrowing some color from the war wagon on here when i paint mine.
