I have a C-150D with 160 hp, (320 hrs smoh) long range tanks, GW increase. I had all the Cessna corrosion inspections done, boroscope etc and found repairs needed to right spar cap and Lt fwd spar attach fitting. This will run $19k for salvage wings and LR tank mods. $21k to repair the existing wings.
I have put quite a bit into the plane in the last 7 years and not sure if I want to make the repairs. I have an unverified offer from a salvage yard of $9k to 10K.
Not sure why any one would want to take this on as a project. Replacement wings can come from 1963 to 1969 as I understand.
Just thought I'd check in the event someone has a run-out wing donor airplane. I'd feel somewhat better if the plane continued to fly VS parting it out.
Still thinking about all this.
I won't go into details here but if anyone does not have enough to do, reply here or call 916-761-4630 any time.
