I’ve really struggled with the interior color. It was originally blue but also was red at some time. I started out with red but have changed my mind back to blue. No big deal really.
The last photo is without a flash and shows the true blue color. The second ashtray photo is without a flash.
The inspection covers were stapled on. I removed the staple and installed some tinnermann nuts and B screws
I have the two shades of fabric in and just sent them and the two front panels, two door panels, and seat backs to to be done. Will bring in the two seats as soon as I get one repaired.
Two rolls of fabric
I removed the latches when I started to remove the paint. They were a mess. I replaced the pins and the Airloc wing nuts. They look and operate much better now.
Some corrosion on the stab necessitated the removal of some rivets and replaced with some new. Still hoping I don’t have to replace the top skin.
new rivets in place
Old rivets drilled out and new ones going in.
Corroded and missing rivet heads.
Before paint removal and after paint removal photos of the top cowling. 
Corrosion
Some corrosion along the edges of the cowling. It removed easily as it was just some surface corrosion.
My air compressor was popping my circuit breaker so I ran a 230v outlet to the garage, re-wired the motor to 230v, changed the cord, and now it’s on a 40 amp breaker but pulls half the current. Now I can paint and sand with no interruptions.
I had some extra help this evening. Last photo shows one side done. Other side to go
I found a source for some biodegradable non toxic paint remover. I tried it on the vertical stab and it worked great. Now I’m trying it on this. So far so good. You have to leave it on for 12-15 hours and it takes it right down to the aluminum. You can rinse it off with a garden hose and let it go down the drain.
See the photos for a example.
Picking interior colors. Close match, not perfect, but close enough. Photos show the colors a bit lighter than they are.
