Default 1/4 Giles wing failure x2

Humm,
Wing set is 154 bucks. I'll have to really take a close look at the fuse and make sure it is sound before I decide to scrap it or not. The fuse also has cracks right where the wing mounts to the fuse in the front below the crack.
It hit a tree and a limb peirced through the wing, out the top and into the side of the fuse, punturing the fuel tank. Like I said that wing is toast, but I have the old ones with the cracks. It's real tempting to replace the tank, patch the hole and bolt on that cracked wing. What if I glassed the area where the cracks are? did anyone do this sucessefully, or should I write the plane off and finish the Edge?
