Started welding it tday
Re: Inner wing removal
Mine was in a similar state (see resto thread for pics). I found that it was hard to patch and have ended up replacing the sill in order to get A post strength back. Hope yours is a bit easier.

Re: Inner wing removal
Looks like you need to patch the 'kidney' panel as well as the inner wheel arch. If I were you I would cut out as much of the rot as I could, whilst remembering to go easy so that the structure of the car is not compromised. In the second pic it looks like you've been using a grinding wheel to cut the panels - I would recommend using proper cutting discs as it's so much easier and quicker.
