milano parts

Still dont know much about this car. Was just given a heads up about a complete car. Im gonna go look at it it to pull some patrs, what should I look for aside from what I need. What is hard to find if anything. When I look at a spider I know what to take.

Trim, both external and internal, is just about impossible to find in any kind of decent condition. Grab all the door handles, there's bound to be one or two keepers. I have no idea how available body panels are anymore, so if you're up to it those'd be good too. If you get deep into it the window regulators are a good pick, especially after they're cleaned and lubed up.

The main things are the window regulators, and all the switches from the interior. Other than that, any electrical stuff (relays, etc), and any trim type things that are better than yours.

Platinum was the nicest, trim-wise. Might want to gank the seats and all the gear, if they're still there. I think they might be heated and powered. Far as I know the bumpers were never changed, but the grill did. Does it have cruise control?

ABS wheel sensors if the cables have not disintegrated. Speedometer sender and amplifier box - under back seat. Let me know if you want to re-sell them.

i grabbed the mirror switch because mine is jammed up. i guess i can get the column for you if its not to hard to pull. i just dont want to get stuck with it. what did you mean by all the gear. the seats looked like they would nead upholstry. i think they were leather all worn but not torn. i didnt look to see if it had cruise, but it did have antilock brakes.if i could find some more play money id grab the hood, its pretty nice and mine is bent here and there. the grill leeked the same as mine.

The seats are supposedly powered, so it won't just be the seats it'll be the motors & tracks & the switches.

Far as I know it is. Might've been an option on the Golds though.

you know, the dash didnt even have a crack in it, mines all cracked up. if thats not to difficult to remove i can grab that. all the controls and face plates looked brand new. it even had an alfa radio in it. i should have looked at the mileage.

The Platinum has ABS and leather interior.

Golds came with powered seats standard.

If it's a platinum, grab the transmission! Worth $350-700 depending on condition. It's got shorter gearing and the LSD. Would be a nice upgrade to your Verde, my acceleration picked up a lot by swapping in a platinum tranny.
