Included with this great project is the engine Mount and more importantly the engine exhaust tubes and the valuable muffler. There is no Motor or Propeller. The interior is complete with bench seat and dual control wheels. The instrument panel is complete. The cabin side windows and windscreen show their age and likely would have to be replaced.
