Having faffed around with the scooter I got down to looking at the Healey.  I did some of the welding that was left over from yesterday and fitted the wing back to the car.  Today is supposed to be the last day of the summer (August still, FFS) with rain due from the afternoon onwards so I decided to get the car out of the garage to look at it.

I know I have posted lots of photos that look all the same but it does actually feel like I am getting closer.   I had spent a while looking all over the car for things to work on when my wife returned from an open water swim.  I made a cup of tea and then the pair of us went round the whole car.  The door gaps are not consistent but other than one of them which I can address by playing with the door skin they are good enough.  One of the front wings, in fact the one I have been working on, had an odd shape in the arch section.  The front shroud is slightly buckled at the front.  The door sill is too low on the driver side for the trim to for correctly.  So all in all not bad.

I am going to deal with the shroud buckle but I don't know how just yet.
I am going to weld a return into the wing that I have been working on and will cut and shut the arch to improve the line down the side of the car.
I will look at the door skin to see if I can improve the door gap.
I am going to ignore the fact that the sill is too high on the driver side.  To do anything about it will require messing with the front and rear wing and the door.  In other words I have reached a point where I acknowledge that enough is enough on that issue.  I will modify the sill cover and be done with it.

I then cut the wing open, extracted a slice of metal and then welded it up again.  I effectively removed the kink or bow in it.

Feeling pretty cool about the car now.  Just need to deal with the shroud, weld a return in for the front wing and I can seriously begin to weld the car up, fit the boot and get on with it.  Exciting times indeed.
