Barry,
You got yourself one beautiful resto project in hand, it's a must to be flown again for sure, well worth it!. I have one also which is little ahead then your Intruder is, about the same size but not the same scale bird. It's one thing to put together an ARF, then a Kit or do scratch built project, but to do full ground up restoration is something else by itself specially if it's very rare or one of kind to say!!.
Best of luck Barry and i'll be watching how you bring her to life once again, i'll follow your lead for my F18, , ,
