Rejuvenation: Four Cessnas get makeovers
Aircraft building and project-level overhaul forum -- Kitplanes, experimental amateur-built, homebuilding, or even restoration of certified aircraft.
I know it's on the homepage but I always post these in the forum too because I know some people use only the the forum via Tapatalk.
Thanks for Mountainmatt, Barnstormer, Bart, and RobW56 for taking the time to write these up and share with us.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
Great inspiration for anybody who owns a cessna.

Thank you for posting - those utility interiors are excellent.
The 170 with an EW below 1,300 lbs is the way to go. Do we have EW for the early 180s?

I'm excited to see what weights we all end up at. I should know soon on my E/W, hoping to see near 1600 lbs on the scales.

All it would take is for you to unbolt one of those wheel panties... then you will be on your way down the rabbit hole!

I can't jump in quite yet! I wish I researched more before I did mine 6 years ago. We primed everything and then just buttoned it up by putting the interior back in...managed to crawl out of the rabbit hole without falling all the way in.
