Have a 63 m20c that I’m scrapping/play forting

[M20E for me]

How are the ailerons?  There was a photo of one but couldn’t really determine the condition.  Can you take a few more pics,  looking down the trailing would be great.

I know this is peanuts, but I'd gladly take the storm window latch and a Shaw 431-9 fuel cap, if not corroded.

Not great but not destroyed? Haven’t looked super close I can do that in morning maybe

Oil cooler seems to be in great shape. Incompatible with my E, but someone should snatch it! 

Is the air intake duct damaged? Looks like that in the last picture.

I dunno. Mainly took pics to give general idea of what’s here, can look here in a bit

There are two common locations to remove the tail, so no cutting required.  The entire tail comes off with only a few bolts .  You will see some covers just below the front edge of the tail.  That would also give you nice mounting points and may save the tail in case you find a buyer later for another airplane.

Ya sorry bout lingo. 
 

I guess I assumed a wall hanger guy wanted more than where the section was mated?

Hi! 
I’ll take both main trailing links from above the pivots. Basically I’m after the MLG axels but it’s all one assembly. 

nose gear doors bent? 
 

nose truss assembly? 
 

reason for cutting it up?

Ok I’ll look at gettin it off there

You don’t happen to have a pair of pitch servos in there?? I’d take those:)

Where are those? I think it has manual trim but I’m real foggy on how this thing works

If they are there they are in the tail section I believe, I think you can spot them from within the battery access area - connected to the elevator control rod. There are usually two - one with a blue vacuum line and the other with a yellow. The pitch servos are the lighter color(not black) as far as I have seen. Picture added from other user with pitch servo in plastic bag. Mounted near the rudder servo.

I don’t see any servos. I think this one is all mechanical? Unless I’m not looking right. But I traced linkage from tail into belly and up under cockpit?

So you know, that fuel valve is a part that was made for Mooney as a retrofit part to replace the original that is no longer available.  I have a fuel selector made by the same shop in Ohio which is why I recognized the label and blue anodizing.  My fuel selector and fuel bowl/filter combination for the later Vintage planes is listed in the Mooney parts manual with a selling price of something like $5000 or so.  Treat it well.  After searching I got the manufacturer's name (a machine shop in Ohio) from Mooney.
