Approximate investment figures

Honestly I have absolutely no idea! I knew going in that I was going to invest more than it was worth because I had no plans to sell it. Let me list approximately what I have in her:

Original purchase price: 35,000
New rear muffler: $1500
Additional serviceable muffler parts: $1000
Hi temp faa approved high temp exhaust hardware: $250
New control cables front/rear: $1000
New FM oil filter conversions:
New Aerospace logic digital fuel gauge-4 tank: $862
EI digital gauges:
Tachometers: $445 each-$900
MAP: $475 each-$950
Oil Pressure:$499 each-$1000
Ammeters: $335 each-$670
CHT/EGT: $350 each-$700

EDM 790 - $3400

New engine mounts: $160 each - $740

$57,000 in major parts and initial aircraft purchase.

$12,000 in IA labor. Plus I have him paid up through finishing the annual.

I also have spare exhaust parts, interior parts, four additional seats (pilot seat is power)

It will need a rear fuel pump $800, new fuel lines in a year-$600 per engine. $2000

The biggest thing is that I don't have any extra time or money to put into it with my wife's diagnosis. I have a set of $1000 jacks and a $250 hangar winch that I could throw in. The airplane has been hangared as well.

I never heard of a liberty - not sure what it is worth.
