What was found

DURING A PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION, HEAVY CORROSION WAS FOUND AT THE JOINT BETWEEN THE LT STABILIZER SKIN, PN 0432001-55 AND THE RT STABILIZER SKIN, PN 0432001-54 AT THE LOWER CENTER RIVET LINE WHICH HAD EATEN AWAY NUMEROUS RIVETS, LOOSENED THE SKIN JOINT AND BEGAN TO EAT AWAY THE SKIN. THIS WILL REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE SURFACE, A THOROUGH INSP FOR ADDITIONAL CORROSION AND PROBABLE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH SKINS.
