Thanks for the comments and i'm glad you consider me to be a good home for it
It is really nice to work on a previously untouched (well nearly) car and it really helps when you can see what things are supposed to look like even if they are rusty and holed. The structure is new to me after years of Minors so its a refreshing change and a new challenge!
I got a passengers side wing from a wanted ad on here
I won't be using it though as it has serious surface rust issues and will take loads of work to get it up to standard so i have spent time on the original instead as i know it to be a good fit and it would have been such a shame to have scrapped it!
Below are some pictures of the repairs done and i know i haven't cut the light hole back in yet (although i have left the bottom edge of the original slot as a datum for when i do!) as tattyoldvan said about filling them in and using the sidelights as indicators so i thought i would have a look to see what it would roughly look like!
