Hey guys. So here's the deal. I met a guy last week who has a smith in his hanger. The wings are removed, no motor, missing brake lines and calipers, as well as a few gauges. Other than that it's in fairly good shape. The fabric is in good condition and looks like it would be an easy rebuild.
So, he says that if I make him an offer he'll think about it. I know for a fact that he only has about $1500 in the thing. He just acquired it from a friend that was getting divorced and needed some cash. Do you guys think it would be worth $2,000? I would love to throw the wings back on it, get a cheap O-200 for it and get it back in the air as a weekend fun plane.
What do you guys think? I have no photos of it, but I'll ask him if he could snap a few.
