Before

The following are the "before" photos. Just minutes before I started pulling things off the airplane. You can note that she is a pretty little bird. I like to say that she has a good "10-foot" paint job. It looks great from 10 feet. No exterior changes are contemplated, though I may remove the wheel pants. They look good, but they are a pain in the neck.

As you can see, the plastic is in pretty good shape, though dirty and discolored. That will be fixed. You can also get a glimpse of the really ugly, and uncomfortable, seats. Shelby Isham at Tnwings will be helping with that.
Again, the plastic is solid. Shelby will be helping with the ugly (and probably not acceptable to the FAA) carpet
I have always liked the "G" model panel. It is reasonably simple, pretty well laid out, and pre-dates Cessna's need to "color coordinate". The color matched lower panels of later models can look really hideous. Especially on colors like yellow. The yokes are in good shape. I had thought of getting leather yoke covers, but they don't need it. The push-to-talk switch arrangement will be getting fixed.

I am going to retain Placards Plus to do new overlays for the panel. This will eliminate the Cessna plastic overlays and the panel will resemble the newer Cessna panels that do not have the plastic overlays. I am also going to slightly modify the lower middle panel by lowering the intercom to align it with the avionics master switch and the radio's circuit breakers. That will leave a space to mount the Bendix/King AV80R I have on order.

This piece of ugly carpet is loose. Shelby's new carpet will fix that. Interior colors will be gray. It is easy on the eyes. If the budget allows, the throttle and mixture controls will be replaced with the more modern type.
