Bad Brad's 87' Milano //


A fine example of what a lot of time and some handfuls of money can do, when sorted and spent appropriately. Starting with a humble foundation, Brad took what was once a simple 2.5l V6 Milano and has created a beast of ingenuity and expression. A full body kit, sourced from a Jetta III, dark metallic blue paint and an RS Racing carbon rear spoiler (wing if you will) tidy up the exterior. A set of 17x8” ASA web wheels tuck tightly into the fender wells. 13” drilled and slotted rotors grabbed by a 6 piston Willwood setup in the front and a similar 12” setup in the rear take up residence behind the rims and help bring this thing to a halt in a hurry. With a 3.0L Verde motor on its way, Brad has left the engine compartment somewhat untouched, reliability and daily driving prowess are essential, for now. Moving inside, a pair of Cobreau kevlar racing seats keep your rear from sliding, while the Milano attempts to do the same thing, as Brad laps Pacific Raceway. A custom, carbon fiber VDO gauge cluster tell you all the important things, while an OMP racing wheel turns the Milano and provides a place to hold on for dear life. A work in progress, the Milano has seen a number of suspension setups and an assortment of upgrades over the past few years. As Brad builds track skills, speed increasing with every pass, we are sure that this is a car we will be seeing often. Check out the photo gallery for some more pictures of Brad’s Milano.
