   I scaled the pictures down for you.

   If it were me I'd remove the existing facia and replace with one the proper width.

   Not an option.  The moulding came of in smaller pieces than it went on.

   Had a similar situation at my house when i removed wood gutters. I replaced the facia.

   Any chance of slipping some flashing under all that and hang the gutter lower? Just a thought, probably not a god one.

   Actually, my neighbor said he's pretty sure there used to be wooden gutters on the house 20 or so years ago.

   Replace the fascia (use a composite product). Move the drip edge to an appropriate position (absent the crown) when you reroof. Leave the gutters off until you reroof -- the correct gutter position will change after the drip edge is repositioned.

   Should the new fascia butt up against the underside of the sheathing?

   tool .....

   View Image

   when you  took off the bed mold , it looks like there was NEVER anywood there before.. so i doubt that there were ever wooden gutters on your  house

   .. my first choice would have been to leave the moulding and install copper half round gutters like seeyou said.. with roof hangers

   but... here you are..

    it looks like the fascia  is about a 1x4  and you could face nail a 1x6 composite   ( like GP PrimeTrim   or   Miratech  right over the existing fascia and it will slip up behind the existing drip edge

   there will be a small space between the new face of the new fascia and the back of the existing drip edge..

    but that will actually work in your favor.. the drip line will extend further into the gutters

   use a good fascia hanger bracket and make sure  they are spaced about 2 ' OC

   and let's be careful up there .. it's a long way to the groundMike Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore

   It's hard to get a clear feel for the relationship between the pieces in this case, to tell for sure how far up the new fascia should go. Generally, though, it should kiss the bottom of the sheathing, or, if the sheathing doesn't extend that far, come up to a point that would touch a straight-edge you layed on the slope of the sheathing (so that the top front edge of the fascia is in the same plane as the top surface of the sheathing).But there's something strange about the looks of the drip edge, so I can't quite figure it out in this case.
