Replacing wings

Hello all...

I’m looking at a 1956 170B to purchase and due to a “mouse in the wing” issue, the wings were replaced...with B model, supposedly corrision-free, no damage wings from an earlier year. Does anyone see a problem with that as long as the work was all done correctly?

Thanks
Phil

No issue seen from a guy who owned an A model with L-19 wings installed.

Am I wrong in that somehow that didn't come out right ? :D I'll add no issue from a guy with 175 wings. Anyone with 170 B wings, anyone ?
On the less than positive side, mice really like to live above the doors inside the cabin and if there's enough of them they will set up a city hall inside of the speaker housing.
