Yeah...very nice. If for nothing else, it’d be sweet to have in your backyard and convert into a “Man Cave Hanger”...Tree house / Guest house.

Seven days to make it airworthy and fly it out of there or take the wings off and truck it out of there. Maybe you could get a nearby hangar at the same airport and move it into a different space. Dang. Wish I had all the time and money to rescue that bird.

It would make a really sweet clubhouse. You could sell off the internals of everything to recoup some of the cost, then fix up the interior and exterior so it looks good as new.

Or make it look like it crashed there and live out some survivalist scenarios.

You are correct. Fixed. It's was early.

I don't think making it airworthy in 7 days is an option.

What does it cost to store it in a hangar? Probably more than a boat slip?

Sounds like a great premise for the next trashy reality show.

My X-type is too a real Jaguar > f86sabre 07/17/2016 at 10:37

Airworthy examples go for around $150,000, so for this one, you would spend around $200,000 getting it airwaorthy, hey it is just like restoring a car.

Too late. Your idiocy has already been immortalized in the post’s url.

Bob: We were doing great on the 18 restoration until that engine seized up on takeoff.

Steve: yeah, we’re were up against a tight deadline and thought we could cut some corners. We put together a really solid montage, and that usually enough for this kind of show, but that didn’t seem to help us here.

Bob: we assume normal reality TV rules would apply here.

Steve: now we need to scrape the pilots fave out of the instrument panel.

Bob: Chip Foose never had to deal with that kind of crap.
