Hi and welcome. I have an '87 #134 that is in fair to poor condition.
I also have an '89 #176 in VG condition.

Many ASC/McLaren specific parts can be had from Hank at ascmclaren.com.

I'm slowly working on the '87 to bring it back to drivable condition
(it does run well, though). Needs upholstery and paint.

On my '89 I have replaced many of the suspension parts with Ford parts
(lowering springs, control arms, aluminum drive shaft). I did save all
but the most worn out parts. Motor mounts and suspension bushings have
been replaced with poly graphite parts. Most all of the items have
been purchased from Summit Racing.

I added a Maximum Mortorsports strut tower brace. It really makes the
car handle better and alot less windshield shake.

Good luck with the car!
