Kind of the ultimate fixer-upper....but wouldn't you like to have one waiting for you at the ramp  :)

I'd say enjoy what you see... nobody is going to sell you what is needed to make it air worthy... nor will you get FAA aproval on it.

It would make a hell of a static display though... or perhaps putting Flatscreens all over the cockpit and turn it into the most expensive flight sim gaming cockpit of all time:D

Oh yea, I can see it now

"Honey, we need remortgage the house"
"Why?"
"Well we need to build a new flight deck, eerrr...deck I mean"
" Why do we need a new deck"
"Well I got a new joystick and rudder pedals,  oh and we need to knock down a wall or two also"

Right.   In my dreams.

Maybe the city of Toronto will buy it.They could do a little touch up and mount it near The Prinecess Anne Gates like that old Lancaster that was removed five years ago for unknown reasons.(I wish I knew why they did that)..Oh well,at least we have the only flying Lanc in North America.(Hamilton Air Museum)

Sirloin the Lancaster on outdoor display was rotting.  It's being completely restored for display at the Toronto Aerospace Museum.
