You need to read the regs on that.
Just as well there isn't a 35 year life limit on
all the aluminium powered aircraft like Cessnas,
Pipers, Beechcraft etc. I'll say it again: There
are no engineering reasons for this life limit on
aluminium aircraft. They can fatigue or corrode
(or both) and this can be inspected for.
They may have a "safe hours" or "number of
landings limit" which was arrived at by the
designer for engineering reasons. If we had an an
organisation in Australia that was actually
interested in promoting gliding and helping
people do it easier and cheaper, things might be
different.
There used to be one a long time ago.

Subject:Re: [Aus-soaring] IS29D life extension
Anyone from Camden reading here ?
This is the post-35 year life extension program,
that required individually issued documents for
each aircraft to be permitted to fly past the
current limit (with maintenance requirements and a fixed landing limit)
<http://www.ssa.org/GovernmentLiaison?id=2981>http://www.ssa.org/GovernmentLiaison?id=2981
is about the most recent notice from an
authority on the topic, but doesnât open any leads.

No idea, but there are several out at Camden, including one owned by
employees of Camden Sailplanes and none have gone through the process.
Closest paperwork I could find online was this Canadian reference about
a 20yr extension interval:
