Default Reverse Engineering a Kit?

I`ve got about 3 EZ Pilot Cessna 152s that are "Built" But have been so bashed and thrashed over the years that they need a bit of repair,just to get them airworthy.(Non had ever flown),I built them just to have the experience,but am just now getting back into the hobby,and hope to fly soon.I have a Sig seniorita Built and about ready to go.

What I need to do with these Cessnas is rebuild the wings as They had been through years of neglect in a damp house with some mold.

Should I Dremel each Rib at the Spar and Make a Copy of them that way?I forget if the ribs were all the same size or different.
I have no surviving plans as they got destroyed in the Mold ridden house.

The fuselages and Tails are in OK Shape as they were covered,just need to glue them back straight.

Am I on the right track at doing this?

Thanks
