Hard to imagine that much of this restoration included the original plane considering the crash and being buried in salt water for so long. Still way cool.
There is a series on Netflix called “Plane Resurrection”. It’s about restoring WW2 warbirds in the UK.
Quite a process what they go through using original blueprints to be as true to WW2 factory quality as possible.
I think the only original on the plane is the data plate!
