The first task was to remove all the nose ribs. They need to be cleaned up and treated for minor corrosion and make some repairs.
The rivets are now all removed from the front spar so it can be removed. Clecos have been installed to hold it all together while removing the rivets. The wing is now more like a limp flag. I've been able to use my wing stand so far but I need to make some stands or a large table to hold the wing while I swap the spars.
