Milano Verde questions

[Michael Harris * <michaeldch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:
On Wednesday, I bought a '88 Milano Verde (75 3.0 liter) - seems like a
great car - though I had to be cautious driving it home since it's hosing
oil all over the timing belt and seems to have a leaking head gasket.
Anyway - I hope some Milano owners will be able to help me out with a few
questions:
Where must the (ABS) brake master cylinder assembly be removed in order to
remove the driver side head?  Is this the same as the GTV6 where you have
to remove the 4 mounting bolts from inside the driver side foot well?
Is it possible to install the non-ABS brakes from a Milano Gold or Silver?
The ABS works OK on my Verde - the lights go out when the car is started,
but I noticed that the pump runs every time I depress the brake pedal.
Does this mean the ABS system might be on its last legs?  The cost of the
ABS components would seriously make me consider the non-ABS brake systems...
I found that the car needs a head gasket replacement when I removed the cam
covers and found that the oil wells in the head were filled with thick
"grease" - which I guess is actually emulsified oil/water.  The water
reservoir also has a small amount of the dreaded chocolate milk shake slush
in it.  I will have the heads off, but are there any areas on the block
that might accumulate similar "grease" deposits that will have to be
cleaned out?  Compression is very good so I think the engine is in fine
condition except for this slight leak in the Head gaskets.  
Also, where can I find some of that Recaro seat material to have the seat
insets recovered?
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers
