Seats

Here is the right seat, re-upholstered and ready to be installed. The seats won't go back in until after the engine is installed. Juliet is due for an annual inspection, which we will do while installing the engine. The seats need to be out for that.




Carpet

The new carpet is almost completely installed. The kick panels need to be done and installed and that project is over. Also note the the cleaned and repainted door panels are installed. The problem with the door panels is that they accentuate the ugly yellow door posts and other interior metal. The only cure would have been to completely strip out the interior and paint everything. That was too big a project this time around.

Just for grins

In case you ever wondered what a Cessna 150 looked like without an engine.

Excitement!!!

The panel is finished. Well almost. A few minor details and touchup. And actuall, the center stack overlay is a "final trial fit". Which is synomous with "I just gotta see what this is gonna look like!!!".

Panels


Here are before and after photos of the plastic door panels. The difference is stunning. I used Kryl0n's Fusion spray paint.

Progress

Last evening I pulled all of the interior plastic trim. It involved a little contortion. Great care must be exercised because the stuff is pretty flimsy. It will get painted this evening.

I also got the old, very ugly, carpet out. In terms of reassembly, the new yoke bushings are in. Once the left yoke is back, I will be ready to re-assemble the left panel and the avionics fillers.

The new seats and carpet arrived from Tnwings this morning. They look wonderful. Installation will start forthwith!

Photos


Here are photos of the right side overlay, INSTALLED! The upper avionics filler overlay is also in place. I think the tail number on the overlay came out pretty well. Last evening I got the right yoke installed, so the right side is finished. Yes, the acorn nuts will get touched up with black paint.
I need to get the Nikon up to the hangar.
