Hi everyone,
I had hoped that my first post about finally starting on my rebuild would be more upbeat. Having sold my previous airplane and finally getting the hangar cleaned and organized, this evening I started to clean up the wing center section. It sat for 20 years in a barn leaning against the wall with the leading edge down. I knew when I bought the airplane that mice had been in the wing but it didn't look like anything too serious.
Unfortunately I removed a hidden mice nest tonight and there was some corrosion on the spar. Excuse the pics, it was the best I could get with my scope.
The first 2 pictures are after cleaning it up some with scotch brite. Does anyone have an opinion on this? I'm not liking it and kind of thinking I'm gonna have to take this wing apart. Not the start that I wanted on this project.
