WARNING-unpopular opinion to follow:

It's approaching heresy to put modern cockpit technology in a rare classic airplane like this one. It should be restored to original cockpit instrumentation ( or as closely as parts availability allows). If newer tech is needed to get it from Pt. A to Pt. B, some add-on/plug-ins can be used to get there. It won't be in regular service shooting Cat 3 approaches.
