This is one of the bigger repair projects. This airplane run off the runway collapsing the nose wheel and flipped over on its back. The pictures of the original damage and repairs were lost on the failed hard drive so it starts at the finishing body work with the damage already repaired.

	This is my shop in full action
	The front bottom suffered significant damage when the nose wheel collapsed by digging into the ground and the wheel itself punched a hole through.
	The top got a few holes punched in the skin and crushed skylight window that has been replaced.
	The top third of the rudder was gone and had to be rebuilt, The factory makes the repair pieces for the rudder as this is a common repair for turned over airplanes.
	The repairs are basically done and all of the surface is sanded down by 220 as the whole thing will be repainted.
	The repairs are now primed with surfacing primer and sanded down to 220 to remove all the visible scratches from the body work sanding.
	Everything that is not meant to get any paint is masked and sealed off and its now ready for the final paint.
	All done, perfect job, you cant even tell there were any repairs by just looking at it. All that’s left is to clean up all the mess.
