Hello all and thanks for accepting my to this group!
I recently purchased a Bonanza A35, SN D2116, which has been in a hangar at my home airport and hasn't flown since 2006. Earlier today we started the E-185 engine for the first time! It's my optimistic hope and goal to restore this classic airplane, assuming it is restorable. I'll share pictures and videos and information as I go on this journey. I am open to recommendations and guidance from this community.

Thanks,

Todd

Congratulations on getting it started. I had a phrase in my mind, "A Spirited Beginning."

I just love to hear those Contys run. :thumbup:

Best Regards

Welcome.

Perhaps @Lew Gage will chime in here. He literally wrote the book on maintaining the E-Series Bonanzas.

https://american-bonanza-society.square ... classic/54
(I recommend it, and from what I understand, he doesn't profit from it).

Todd is at a nearby airport and contacted me. I went over to see the airplane. Nearly all original, except for the panel, which has nice upgrade to center stack and T configuration.

It has great potential, but some challenges. Mice were nesting about two ribs in from the right wing tip. Hard to to see and evaluate the damage.

Todd, you got this!

Sounds like a good start.. and a fuel pump problem. Good luck with it!

Thanks John for taking the time to stop by today and look this Bonanza over with me. I really appreciate it! It's nice knowing you are so close also, and that we know some of the same aviation folks in the area! I am excited about this next project!

I ordered the shop manual from Textron today. I also ordered the aircraft records from the FAA today.

Last week I joined ABS and I look forward to getting to know that community as well!
I have already viewed a number of Lew's videos on YouTube!

I believe at this point I should start a new post dedicated to this project. Note that the N number no longer belongs to this airplane, it's now registered to an experimental in California. The serial # for this Bonanza is D2116 (however both wings have D2118 written on ribs inside). The FAA cashed my check for registration application on May 7th, and they reserved the N number I will want to use, but as of this typing I'm not seeing D2116 being registered yet to my name. Hopefully soon. I check daily before getting out of bed!

I'll wait until I get a confirmation from Admin on what is best for me going forward to share the progress of this airplane. My guess is a new dedicated post? I'll start sharing pictures and videos then as well.

Baffle seals

Wing seals

Ruddervator seals

Remove all seals and buff and install new seals silicone std width

Iam in process of mfg new silicone version of the plug under the tail

I suggest new brakes hoses and complete flush of the system

I have never seen a battery box like that in forty plus years
