Airframe
Straight and solid airframe. Only incident was 60 years ago (wing damage and wing was replaced). No corrosion. RH wing spar had a spot of corrosion repaired with Cessna oversight (see photos). Appears was due to paint remover drip. Remainder of spar was clean. Both fuel tanks cleaned and sealed in 2021. Aircraft has a "year long annual" done during COVID, and everything was exposed for inspection.

Remarks
A 1960s Hot Rod for the sky! This pride of ownership aircraft is fast, light and modern with 1960s appeal. Everyone comments on how good looking she is, and how quiet she is. Being the last year before the rear window slowed the 172 down, and with a Air Plains 180HP Lycoming, she cruises fast, or leaned out with the EDM-830 engine monitor, she will burn 5.5GPH at 115kts. Build with 1" aircraft insulation in the roof, and sound absorbing padding under the carpet, she is quieter than my Cirrus.
The only real blemish is the dipstick access that was improperly painted when the engine was converted before I purchased her (see photos). Front wheel pant has minor damage on bottom. I can have repair done, and paint upper cowling, if desired.
Currently in hangar having 50-hour inspection/oil change. All pics in hangar are from today. Pics on ramp are older to show wheel pants.
