5 years ago, I set out to buy a Pacer that I could fly and slowly modify to fit my needs.  I was looking for a nice clean, attractive later model PA 22/20.  I wanted the later model for the split/sliding front seats, center stack radios etc.  I also wanted 160hp.  I found "triple3eightzulu" in Montana, owned by a gentlemen who had worked with his mechanic to restore the airplane in the mid 90's and then flown it since.  After a thorough prebuy, we agreed on a price and I flew it back to Oregon.  Every couple of months, it would make it's way over to Steves Aircraft near Medford Oregon for modifications until it became what you see here on these pages.
