Christmas 2014, day 2 and still on the wing.  Over my first coffee I discovered that the main issue left with the wing was that it is still too big, as in too tall.  When I pull the wing down it sits much cleaner on the car.  So I decided to cut some more metal out of it only this this time by going across other than down.  I also decided that I should fit the sill first as the wing has to sit over this and I wanted to make sure that it was not going to have an impact on the final wing position before I went too far.  To do this I needed to clean up some of the tack welds on the sill section and indeed finish the welding on any areas that would be covered by the sill.  This meant welding on the chassis section that had been galvanised by the previous owner and this created lots of smoke:

Eventually the sill was ready for fitting having tidied up the inner sill and painted it with the usual weld through primer.

The sill was simple enough but like every other panel did require some modification, this time it was too long in the section that sits between the wings and below the door, the newly acquired Oxy-Acetelyne was called into action for that.

So I then pondered the next cut for a coffee or two and then went for it

Once done the wing settled nicely and looked a much better fit.  However, as this is before I have welded the lower section back on I will avoid getting too excited.  Once again my eye was drawn to the rear section which was not quite right, the door gap was not now as good as it could be and before long I was cutting again, this time over the first cut I did a few months back.  At this stage time caught up with me and I washed up and headed inside to light the fire and debate the days progress with the dog over a cold Guinness.
