Okay, Thanks
The front strut is all pitted and will not hold air, so I removed that today and I am trying to find a replacement.
One elevator is taking extra attention. The other elevator and vertical are about ready to prep for paint.
The carburetor was sent off to get rebuilt. It was just leaking gas out after running and carb shop said there was a required float replacement 12 years back.
Panel is finished up and ready for my aircraft spruce order of fittings and screws

Re: 58 182 Project
How about the inside of the vertical stab, from your pictures at the beginning of the thread it sure looked corroded.

Re: 58 182 Project
The vertical stab is a replacement. The original one was junk.

That may give you a clue of not inspected/unperformed AD list that you may be facing to make a REAL annual.
Logs……
No luck hearing from A&P? Long shot chance anyway.

Re: 58 182 Project
Made some progress today. Panel fit great. I need to sort out pitot and static lines yet and bolt it back together.

Re: 58 182 Project
Making progress. Panel is finished up. I decided to pull the jack screws so I could grease them and put new boots on. The bottom pivot bracket is junk. I found replacement brackets, so minor setback. The screws seem nice yet. But I’ll be replacing the bearings. I replaced the strut tube and put new seals in. It’s doing a much better job staying pressured up now.

Re: 58 182 Project
Been busy with work and honey do list. Was able to get jack screws back in and start prepping for paint. I got the rudder and horizontal back from aero specialties in foley MN.

Re: 58 182 Project
Looking good Ken. Now you need to polish the whole plane to match the horizontal!

Thanks Roger, I am going to try out my painting skills on this. It was a challenge getting these parts nice and clean

Re: 58 182 Project
While reading through this posting I wanted to share that reconstructing maintenance records for a Part 91 aircraft shouldn't be so difficult so as to be insurmountable. Pull FAA Advisory Circular 43-9C, with Change 2 - its available for free on the FAA website. Para 12 tells you how to re-establish lost records, excerpt below:
12. LOST OR DESTROYED RECORDS. Occasionally, the records for an aircraft are lost or destroyed. In order to reconstruct them, it is necessary to establish the total time in service of the airframe. This can be done by reference to other records that reflect the time in service; research of records maintained by repair facilities; and reference to records maintained by individual mechanics, etc. When these things have been done and the record is still incomplete, the owner/operator may make a notarized statement in the new record describing the loss and establishing the time in service based on the research and the best estimate of time in service.
You'll need to have an A&P or IA go through and verify all AD's, do an Annual, validate any STC's you can find such as the Horton STOL you mentioned, validate obvious repairs in accordance with the Cessna Service/Part Manuals and so on. The engine is "on condition" - TBO is only a recommended number for non-commercial aircraft, same for the propeller. And again, so on...
Take your time and document as it looks like you are doing all of the rework and maintenance, rebuild yourself a flyer, do it right and you'll go a long way to restoring its value. In my opinion, value is what someone else will pay for it so if your plan is to get the best value for the rebuilt project - worry about the rebuild quality first, and the 'lost records' second or third. The FAA rules allow you to make a "best estimate". Do just that.
PS: Those early 182's fly great, keep it a nose dragger.

- McFarlane aviation sells this for installing/ removing bearings on Cessnas. It did not seem very well put together. I added a few lengths of 1/4” bolts to the kit to get the job done. I replaced all bearings on vertical and horizontal.

Re: 58 182 Project
I have it ready to haul to the hangar. Tail group went back together real nice. Made a panel cover for transponder spot and re-installed it. Cleaned up old unused wiring.
I ordered new fuel bladders and I am still waiting on the carb.

Re: 58 182 Project
Wow, this is quite a project. Cool to see the progress.
Thanks (above) for the post on records reconstruction. That's good to know.
