Project Cars / Re: 1980 Eagle Sport STW 258+T...

New bumper filler needed some attention. Removed all of the old paint...



And then a fresh coat of multifiller paint.



Then some silver...



New rivets and screws... and ready to rock!



Wheather cooled a little bit, so it was possble to continue... Started to fix those black parts.



Bumpers.



Left side headlight bezel was broken, so I fixed it...



Hood molding had a lot of pits, so something had to be done... Metal filler was not enough.



So I had to use grinder and open all pitted areas and then some metal filler.



This was a success. Then some primer.



And finally it was time to add some semi-gloss black aint...





But this was no success... paint was too gloss... So try again some day.

Door gaps and door pillars needes some attention... There were some hits of window frames...

Frontside.


Backside




Drivers side had a bigger damage, because door had beed out of alignment for a longer time...
And both pillars had some marks of somekind of knife or such. Someone had removed "Rauchen verboten" or "no smoking" stickers...



Sanding and painting, and it turned to be good...






Some progress...



These panels are now silk gloss and much better...



Some of the fasteners had some damage, so I couldn´t fix all of the moldings.



Sills got some silk gloss paint and rear hatch area got some silver...

Then it was time to fix fender flares. Front pair is from my other sport Eagle... and not so good any more... One rear flare is like a new one. and the other had been painted poorly.



There was a major damage that needed some TLC-treatment.

OP is LOOONG gone at this point but I've been staring at this picture now for ten minutes and I'd bet you $500 that's the car I'm driving right now.
Same trim level, same paint, same crooked front bumper from an accident you can't see on the passenger side, same rims and about an hour and a half away from where the OP said he lives compared to where I bought in Langley.

Your Eagle(s) / Re: finally got photos

Last post by maddog - August 08, 2025, 08:21:10 PM

Now that I can post again on here (because of whatever was going on with the forum). Here are some more pictures from what I've gotten done on the eagle. First is my modified Jeep Cherokee header and how it sits once it's installed.


Next is my painted and installed intake manifold.
