dismantling 1999 explorer

[chrisquelch]

hi guys
many members have asked me for parts over the last couple of months and i may have said i didnt have them but just started to dismantle a 1999 explorer which had a replacement engine by ford in 2003. it also has a zavoli multipoint lpg system i was going to keep the car but its developed a gearbox problem so its a parts car.so i may have the parts you need now.
cheers chris

You just can't help yourself Chris

I'll take first dibs on both rear callipers please. Does it have the style of sidesteps I'm after? What condition are the front fog lights (I need the brackets AND the fog lights themselves) and lastly, the radiator - how's that looking? Mine has taken a few hits from road debris so I'm keen on changing it.

I'm still out in the US right now; but if you could PM with suggested prices I would be grateful (not forgetting my hunt for CV axles either!) and I'll get in touch with you upon my return.

Many thanks!

I don't suppose you have a drivers side tail light for a 1997? As far as I'm told, 1998 onwards are different?

And the bolts that hold the front roll bar to the chassis.

Hi Chris, i was wondering what is the possibility of you removing and fitting the engine in for me as i am due to move this week sometime or next week to a small rented flat unfortunately there isn't any space to store an engine.

I will pay you for your for your time and will also arrange for my car to be lifted from fords to your house. I would much rather trust you to do the job as you know the in's and out on the explorers

Could you let me know let me know please

Thanks Chris

Steve

Hi Chris, It`s a long time since I posted anything on the forums so I thought I`d update you since my last request about programming a Bosch single button remote fob. I`ve been advised by Justin in Newport that It`s a job for Ford only. At that time he was hoping to obtain the kit for doing the job from the local Ford agent but I`ve just found out that he`s finished and is now working for Motorzone in Caerleon who are using his expertise with Explorers and gaining new customers !! Since I last had contact with you I`ve aquired another 1998 Explorer form a friend so now I have two ! However I`m now looking for a transfer case motor for that Explorer and I wondered if you know of one. Cheers , Pete
PS just should mention that I`m in South Wales in Bridgend which is roughly halfway between Cardiff and Swansea.
