Donor Car

[green meadows]

Good Morning, from the UK.

I have just bought a second 1998 Explorer as spares for an existing 1998 model. I intend stripping out all electric control boxes, switches, light units etc. together with front and rear diffs and the gearbox. The car was sold due to backfire problems (split inlet manifold) caused by starting and running on LPG.

My question is, are there any other items that members would consider worth salvaging, before the donor car is collected for crushing. The existing car has been in my family for 18 months; reliable, but with a very noisy diff.

I will shortly be taking it over, with 12 to 1500 miles per year, mainly towing a caravan. Thank You.

Welcome to this forum! Try to take whatever you could get off of it. Parts are hard to find. It might be worth saving the entire vehicle if you have a place to store it.

Get the temperature control plastic lever up under the dash as they are very hard to find that are not broken.
