All fasteners removed and all holes epoxy filled.

My 22 Cruiser as purchased, needs some love.

I opened up all areas that had fasteners, that?s a lot of holes. There was some localized core rot, more holes were drilled around those areas and all coring removed. Holes were filled with thickened epoxy or 8lb density foam in larger areas.
