More-than-I-bargained-for Restoration

[matlos]

I am posting a few pics of the restoration that I did last year and is still on-going. Seems endless!
Comments welcome!

Hey Mat,

Except for the "endless hours" add the almost "endless dough" too !

Come to syros and then sifnos, we'll be there until the 20+ August.

Filakia.

Great job!... Especially considering the time frame of 4 months!...

[Dug]

Good to see!!! Very nice! Glad she is being enjoyed!!!!

She looks great. I am sure it was worth it.

Interesting in that it looks like the prior owner did some modifications. Seating in the cockpit, the bridge looks like it was changed.

A lot of work but well done.

The cockpit/engine box seating I think is rare, I haven't seen it on any other B31's. The flybridge is a bit of a mystery.... I think it was added/changed at some point...

Nice work.
Great to see another classic rescued from the boneyard.
Enjoy.

She looks great. I'm sure it was a lot of work. Enjoy. You earned it
