Even the thoroughest examination did not came up with any rust, down to the most precise and hi end factory job. To save the original anti corrosion treatment, we only blasted the body by sections. On the underside the original protective layer was only cleaned and but not removed. New fresh layers applied and paint spayed on.
Some leading finished the work.
The nearly-good inner wing.
And the one, that was finally put on.
We no not like blasting at the end, but this time it was the only way to go. We did all the efforts to keep the particles from entering the closed sections of the body.
At the end, we did some investigations with a borendoscope. With less than jolly results.
Priming and a new layer of chip protection...
... followed by the color.
Some leading on the wing.
Finishing the gaps.
