Default To overhaul or not to Overhaul, that is the question-

The wings and sheetmetal was pristine (original stenciling still
clearly visible, you could probably eat of the wing spar metal, etc).
interior was a mixed bag, plastics are all flawless, but the panel is
in sorry shape and the plane doesn't even have an intercom (previous
owner used speaker+handheld). Seats Rails were flawless (and all seat
adjustments), but the seats themselves need re-upulstering (and the
arm-rests were all cracking and showing their internal foam).

Have seen Cherokee's that looked like mirrors inside the wings, have
also seem them white & flakey.

You need to take a good look at all the steel fittings. They were
never really properly painted/protected from new, and can get really
ugly.

Others have made fuel tank suggestions. Having gunk in the tanks is
not uncommon.
