I got rid of the 86 sedan after I got Ginger, my 83 wagon. I stripped about everything of use off that 86...not much there really, metal was rusty and the plastics were very dry rotted and cracked...I was able to get a good headlight trim for Tougeagle off it and I kept some drive train parts but to be honest I think it was someone Else's parts car when I bought it...Its all good though Ginger is in excellent shape and a much more practical  and cost effective project...And don't worry, the 86 didn't go to the crusher, its getting turned into mudder/rockcrawler by this guy that lives up here..hes does all kinds of extreme custom 4x4 stuff so I know that car will have an interesting life...he turned a chevette into a small block mudder so I can only imagine what the 86 will get turned into....Ill hafta follow up on it... could make for an interesting topic.

Ive put some serious thought into it...But the problem is I dont want to have to repaint all the door jambs and engine bay...its a lot of work and a whole lot more $$$money. Im just gonna shoot her with a fresh coat of Olympic White...I am seriously considering doing a full white out though to make her look more like the Inogural Eagle in this post...I might even do the bumpers white too....Im still on the fence with that though....Id love to make it an Inogural clone.

Both of those are wicked looking.  I didn't think white on white would look good, but it does.  Great pics.

Shiny parts and non integrated bumpers are nice.   Some younger folks think our bumpers are falling off because they are not integrated.

I think im gonna leave em chrome...The more I thought about it the more Im thinking that the painted bumbers would look tacky...Maybe my next Eagle project  Ill try it, but gingers too nice to experiment on, and I really want her to remain true to the stock eagle form.
