Over on it's back? What is that on pic #2 a "repair" or recent dislocation?

Is it even worth it? That's a lot of work=lot of money

Looks like he used the throttle to prevent doing a face-plant on the panel

That's where the spar tried to pull free of the attachment point, thats a spar replacement.

It's a pretty rare aircraft, 46 common wealth ranger.

Not so much work, it is going to be repaired by the owner under my supervision, ( I hope) I think it can be repaired below price set as totaling the aircraft.

we will see what happens in the next few days.

Who knows, he may have used it as a ladder to get out.
