I would see just what was required to get a valid set of
records before any money on the airplane sale changed hands.
You use all available data to create new logs, shop data and
records, parts receipts, just as long you can rely on the
data, the FAA will accept it. But sometimes you have to
re-do work and that can become very expensive.
