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

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
