The front wings are looking in pretty bad shape... bubbled and wrinkly and whatnot. The whole thing is eventually getting painted and checker plate on the tops, but I'd like to repair as much as possible before that.

Is it realistic to repair this, or should I replace? I'm on a budget, tho... and £180 for new wings is pushing it.

Your crazy Danish expression are beyond me!

And actually, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you're better served in Denmark than here. There is a service that'll bring pretty much anything here, but it's expensive... so I might save up all the big things I need and send it one lump!
