Very nicely done interior restoration ! My 1978 Grumman AA-5B Tiger goes in for new paint, interior, and plexiglass this coming January, 2018. Pretty excited about ditching the 70's paint scheme and interior 😁👍
Yeah, you can do pretty much anything with a couple of screwdrivers along with 1/4",3/8", 1/2" and 9/16" wrenches/socket. Nothing metric on these old Made in USA birds.
Thanks Harleyguy. I never really did the math but figure between all the long weekend days and a few week nights over about 5 months I had well over 100 hours into it.
Thank you for the share of the great video.Love the attention to detail thru out the restoration.Just out of curiosity with all the updates , changes made how much weight was removed and cg was changed ? My father and i are currently looking at a pa-28-140.Heading to your blog now to read more.
My A&P made the log book entry with no net change to empty weight or CG. After complying with the 2020 ADS-B out requirement I plan to have the plane weighed to ensure the numerous equipment changes over the years are properly reflected in the current W&B numbers. If you get a Cherokee send me some pictures.
I’ve got a 1961 PA28, how hard was it to remove the interior. What type of sound barrier did you use on the walls and did you follow it back up with insulation? Do you have any reference you could point me towards on some of the stuff you preformed.
Hello, great video. I'm in the middle of the same process with my 1967 140. I was just curious where you purchased the the seat belts with the piper emblem ? Thanks!
Well, depends what you include. I've been using $7000 as my thumbnail number for all the materials, using my own labor. I have a detailed breakdown if you want to get down to nuts and bolts.
I started the day after Thanksgiving 2016 and finished the last day of April 2017. Have been doing other updates since then but nothing that's kept me grounded for an extended period. See all the dates and details at my blog: N98297.blogspot.com
Nice looking work...youre like Red Green...maybe not handsome but at least they find you handy! joke, lol....so if you drop $7G what could you turn around and sell it for? Maybe a good retirement job?...
Nice job freshening up the little girl. Hope you have many hours of enjoyment with it.
Cherokee is one awesome aircraft all she needs is new paint job and interior to make it looks nice

Where did you take it and what was the cost? My Cherokee 180 is needing a new interior
Excellent video
Very nice, appreciate you posting!
Wow awesome and impressive job!
Fantastic job! What did it all cost?
Sweet. 140 is a great airplane
Nice to see that you can use Craftsman tools on this plane.

Great job! How many man hours do you think you devoted to the resto? Really classy look!

@@sunmanav8 Well worth the effort!
That was an auto-standing job. Do you might to tell me the cost? I just purchased a pa-28-140 and I am looking to do the same upgrade.
Hey David, just noticed your comment. Budget at least $5,000. I spent more than that but not all of it was on materials.

The emblems were purchased separate from the belts but they were both purchased from Spruce. www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/piperdecals.php
can you share an insight of the cost of the project?
Luca, see reply to TACOPS60 below. Thank you
What was the cost of the remodel..?
Well, depends what you include. I've been using $7000 as my thumbnail number for all the materials, using my own labor.
I have a detailed breakdown if you want to get down to nuts and bolts.
Did you make a log book entry? Did you use certified material? Does it matter?
Yes, yes and yes. The actual logbook entry with all the details can be seen here n98297.blogspot.com/2017/04/aircraft-log-interior.html
How long did this take?
