My Eagle in Kenosha on the beach!
« on: August 01, 2011, 11:33:08 PM »
This past weekend I drove the 86 Sedan up to Kenosha  for the Homecoming Show, along with my dad in his Matador Coupe.  I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of the Eagle back home in Kenosha  ;D She looked so good with Lake Michigan in the background, although its not too extreme fourwheeling, I did put it in 4wd so i didn't get stuck in the sand!! haha  Hope you all enjoy the pictures as much as I do!!!  Haven't been on the nest much lately, but hoping to get back on more often now.

Dude - Your car looks great!  Thanks for sharing the pictures.  It's kind of funny that I saw your car several times over the weekend but could never find "you". 

Maybe for the next homecoming, we should plan a cookout or something for our forum members...just to have a "meet & greet" session.  I'd even be willing to host (I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind too much...lol).

That has to be the best looking Eagle Sedan I have ever seen.  Definitely an Eagle of the Month candidate.

Just gonna reiterate what's already been said. Not real into the sedans, but this thing looks great. Love what you did with it. What is the brush guard off of and how easy was it to mount...what fog lights too. Wheels look great too...guessing you have a bit of a lift.

Haven't been on in a while, but the brush guard is off of a cherokee, had to modify the mounts quite a bit.  There are tabs that wrap around underneath the bumper and then there are holes just drilled into the bumper with bolts through.  The lights are Hella Driving Lights, they're not cheap at all! But they are super bright and really add to the look.  There is about 1.5" of lift due to the add a leafs and coil-over shocks in the rear.  The front is just some cheap coil spacers.  Thanks!!

Even with the roof rack and the grill push bar it looks real classy, something you can drive right up to the Opera House.
