Hi, i have bought a squareback here in southern Ireland. It came from the USA in 2010. I have the bottom 20 cm of the rear of the front wings that needs replacing. I have been offered later front wings and was wondering if the rear part of later front wings were the same profile as the earlier ones wings?
Thanks.

Re: Front wing Rot Repair
I would imagine they are the same, but before you chop a bit off, bear in mind that a whole wing in reasonable state is likely to be worth a lot more than the cost of a repair, particularly low down where it isn't easy to inspect closely, and the lower trim strip covers much of it.
I don't have an early one to compare, so cannot be absolutely certain, but I can't think of a reason for any difference.
Be aware that there may be rust repairs needed to the lower body where the wings fits on.

Re: Front wing Rot Repair
I,d be surprised if there is not more work waiting for you at the bulkhead under the wings.
Usual story for these.
