I got myself a parts car. What parts would you recommend I take off?

submitted by germ22 to AskUpgoat 2.6 yearsSep 20, 2022 15:30:36 ago (+2/-0)     (AskUpgoat)

I got my hands on a 2006 Lincoln Town Car, same year as my current daily driver.
Which parts should i make sure to take off and save?
The motor seems to be seized, but are there parts from it i should maybe take off?
Should i take off the hood, or trunk lid? fenders maybe? All the doors on the parts car are already smashed and dented, i don't see a point in saving those. Windshield or rear window? Door windows?

The catalytic converter and sell it for crack.

I would have said sell it for cash, but you do you.

it's alright on gas, in the summer 9.6 l/100km, in winter around 10.5 l/100km.
Drives great in the snow.

It's a popular car so it's likely that the aftermarket for electric motors for Windows and all that kind of stuff will be strong for a long time. The trim pieces are what you want to save. You'll be going to junk yards for those if you don't have them. Or maybe certain parts that are pretty tough to get like hell I don't know

I have been taking the all interior trim pieces out. The carpet is not worth saving, it's pretty rough. not sure if the headliner is worth the trouble.

The rear suspension air bags on those always took a shit

Keep the rear axel, drive shaft and trans as well as anything that mounted them to the shitwreck. Junk the rest.

Anything in very good condition. The drivers side window/door controls go out and aftermarket replacements are shit quality. The six CD stereo deck is also worth selling if it's working.

I took out the entire dash. there are parts for the climate control i need for my driver. Window/door controlled have been smashed by vandals on the driver side. Passenger side might be worth salvaging.

What engine? I mean you might be able to sell some of the parts. Like the intake and exhaust manifolds. Maybe the heads. Depends a lot on what engine it has.

4.6L Modular V8, same as the Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Mustang. Mercury Marauder had some changes made to it. Only one to get a DOHC.

Yeah but there are two, three and four valve versions. I guess if one wants to part it out they could make some money. This guy basically buys engines, tears them down and sells the parts. That's how me makes money. https://www.youtube.com/c/IDoCarsalldaylong His teardowns are interesting to watch. I'm positive he's done a few modulars.
