New wing for an old bird.
Getting ready to put the left wing from a 77 Archer on the 82 Archer. We got the old one off, the replacement is painted and looks like new. I probably should lay it out in the sun for 6 months so it matches, or lots of buffing on the rest of the plane. We found it interesting that the 1977 wing doesn't have a stall strip, but the 1982 did. Now the challenge is to find 2ea CR2249-4-3 blind rivets. I can buy 100, I can buy 2 for $12.50 each plus shipping ($25 min order), but they're a $1 rivet. Any chance someone might have extra of these? I'd take 4, 6, whatever so it makes sense.

My awesome A&P, just happened to have a couple. Wing is bolted on, starting to look like it will fly again!
Good news! Thanks for the update.
