Hello!
I'm from Burlington, WI.
A coworker and I (both aircraft apprentices/mechanics who are taking our general and airframe this month) purchased a 56 G35 Bonanza that has been sitting for 19 years.
N88JW.
In 1997 she was returned to service with an engine overhaul on the E-225-8 after 7 years of sitting. At that time, it was also stripped and painted. In 1999, it was put down again for a major panel upgrade...and there it sat.
Whether the owner lost interest, money, or otherwise, we are not sure. But, 19 years stored inside has been kind to it thankfully, so this is our gain.
It will be a project, but we've got several things going.
Cylinders are chrome, and beautiful. Compressions 68/80 on the lowest, 74/80 on the highest. We've got some leaks, but that's to be expected. She runs beautiful, and after 7 months of minor work, made a successful 15 minute ferry flight to BUU, where she now resides in our T hangar for some serious winter work.
The plans:
Full LED light conversion, adding an incandescent nose gear light for winter landings
Alternator conversion
Complete ship's harness rewire
stand-by alternator
Flush mount panel upgrade with:
(2) Aspen EFD1000 (pro plus and certified backup when that releases soon)
Lynx 9000 xpdr
PMA450B audio panel
IFD540
IFD440
JPI EDM900 primary
S-Tec 3100 autopilot
Re-do interior
Rebuild landing gear/repaint gear and gear wells
Replace left Aileron
Down the road she's going to get a 520 or 550 upgrade, but that's 10 years out at least.
I'm aware that this is more than the aircraft is worth in avionics, but i don't much care. This is a first plane/trainer for us, and we intend to get Private, VFR, High performance, Complex, and IFR in it. It's for use, not for sale, and I love it.

Welcome, and good luck with the project! Keep us posted! BTW, we have a loose “pics or it didn’t happen” vibe around here.
